Windows 11 Constantly Restarts with CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED Error

Windows 11
1

I’ve been struggling with a frustrating issue for over a week. My Windows 11 PC keeps restarting and displaying the CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED error code. The Blue Screen of Death only appears for a brief moment before the system restarts. Despite trying several solutions, the problem persists. My system is a 2017 Razer Blade Stealth 13 with the latest update.

Here are the steps I’ve taken so far without success:

  • Removed all peripherals to isolate the issue
  • Ran DISM and SFC commands to repair system files, but no issues were found
  • Ensured the CPU is running cool by re-thermal pasting and using a cooling pad
  • Checked for outdated drivers, but my system is up-to-date
  • Updated the BIOS
  • Ran CHKDSK to fix disk errors, but this sometimes causes a crash with a BAD_SYSTEM_CONFIG_INFO error
  • Used Windows Troubleshooting for Windows Update
  • Performed a hard shutdown
  • Scanned for malware using Malwarebytes and Windows Security, but no threats were detected

I’m desperate for a solution and would like to avoid a factory reset if possible. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated
