    BSOD Critical_Process_Died, error code ef


    I have been struggling with this problem for quite some time now and have not found a way to fix it, so far I have tried doing a chkdsk and an sfc /scannow as advised by other sites but unfortunately it hasn't help me much, although I will do them again if need be. The error occurs seemingly at random but I have noticed it mainly while on youtube, or chrome. I have included the file that was requested below.

    All three dumps are identical and unfortunately don't have much useful data in them.
    Code:
    BugCheck EF, {ffff9808e8cb5080, 0, 0, 0}
    
    ETW minidump data unavailable
    Probably caused by : memory_corruption
    
    Followup:     memory_corruption

    This can be caused by defective memory or a driver that is corrupting storage. Looking at the Biostar web site for the TZ77D board, I see two drivers that were updated in 2016. Please download and install them if you have not already done so.

    If that doesn't help then test your ram with memtest86+, I repeat, memtest86+, no other please. Follow these directioons:

    ===================================================
    Follow this tutorial: MemTest86+ - Test RAM - Windows 10 Forums

    MemTest86+ is a diagnostic tool designed to test Random Access Memory (RAM) for faults. MemTest86+ will verify that:

    • RAM will accept and keep random patterns of data sent to it
    • There are no errors when different parts of memory try to interact
    • There are no conflicts between memory addresses


    Memtest86+ runs from bootable media to isolate the RAM from the system, no other components are taken into account during the test.

    warning   Warning
    MemTest86+ needs to run for at least 8 passes to be anywhere near conclusive, anything less will not give a complete analysis of the RAM.


    If you are asked to run MemTest86+ by a Ten Forums member make sure you run the full 8 passes for conclusive results. If you run less than 8 passes you will be asked to run it again.

    Note   Note
    MemTest86+ has been known to discover errors in RAM in later passes than the eighth pass. This is for information only; if you feel there is a definite problem with the RAM and 8 passes have shown no errors feel free to continue for longer.


    Running 8 passes of MemTest86+ is a long and drawn out exercise and the more RAM you have the longer it will take. It's recommended to run MemTest86+ just before you go to bed and leave it overnight.

    Take a picture when done and post in the forum please.
