📎 AI Summary:
The original poster reports frequent BSODs after resetting their PC, with a specific error indicating a "critical process died." A suggested solution involves running CHKDSK and testing the RAM with memtest86, as the errors point towards potential memory corruption or faulty RAM modules. The analysis confirms memory corruption as the likely cause of the crashes, leading to recommendations for testing and replacing faulty memory sticks.

Solution
All of the BSODS are indicating a critical process died. It's highly likely this is due to a faulty memory module. You'll want to test your RAM with memtest86 for at least 10 passes or until you hit errors. If you find errors you'll want to shutdown pull all the memory except one module. Retest for 10 passes or until errors. Repeat until you've identified all bad sticks and replace them.
