I have just experienced a New thing in windows 10. I restarted my laptop, and windows wont start...it gives me the 0xc00000b error...and i cant enter windows by any means...
View 5 RepliesSeveral times since Windows 10 has been updated (see attached file) I have received a "Critical_process_died" notification. Sometimes at startup & at least one time during normal browsing. Have talked with a local computer shop about various problems & he suggested a clean install. Attached is the dump file per your instructions.
View 1 RepliesEver since I upgraded to Windows 10, I've gotten one or more BSODs (KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE) on practically every startup. I'll boot, log in, and start using the computer for about two minutes before I get a BSOD. It happens even if I'm not logged in as well. Most of the time, this will happen on multiple consecutive boots until it either stops for some reason, or Windows boots into its recovery options (only after three BSODs in a row).
Interestingly enough, when I remain on the recovery screen for an extended period of time and reboot, I don't get the BSOD again and can boot successfully. The crashes are caused mostly by ntoskrnl.exe with occasional assistance from dxgkrnl.exe. As I understand, this error is caused by incompatible drivers, but I'm not quite sure how to approach the issue since both of those files appear to be system files (NT Kernel & DirectX).

In task manager I can see all programs which are supposed to start together with windows, however, none is starting. Every time I start windows I have to start these programs manually.
View 9 RepliesI have a custom intel/nvidia mini-itx build with win 10 that has been consistently BSOD on cold startup with various error codes. Its a really annoying problem. No drivers have been identified by who crashed.
The system is completely stable once I am able to log in to windows, even through intense gaming and maxed heaven benchmarks. Nothing is overclocked and all drivers/BIOS are up to date. I have tried disabling Intel smart connect in BIOS at suggestion of another BSOD thread here but did not solve. I have clean installed win 10 from tech bench multiple times to try and fix the problem. Windows SFC finds no integrity violations.

I've been having two issues for the past few weeks. After a while, (it varies time wise) the start menu and search bar become unresponsive and will no longer open. The only way to make them respond again is to restart; however, this comes with another issue. It will hang forever on the "Restarting..." screen unless I do a hard shutdown.
On the other hand, a hardware error keeps appearing and it appears to talk about an Nvidia driver.
After checking the reliability monitor, it shows that I have two critical faults:
I've tried numerous troubleshooting steps, which I will list below, and none of them have provided any lasting results:
Disabling Cortana (worked at first, now the issue is back)A clean install of the latest Nvidia drivers, twice on two separate days (fixed the hardware error for a day, now it's back)sfc /scannow (It shows no integrity violations)Installing any and all windows updates (nada)
I even chatted with a support agent at Microsoft and the only thing he could tell me was that "User Accounts are being corrupted and that Microsoft is researching a fix". I'm confused how User Accounts interfere with the start menu and cause a hardware error. This never happened when I was on Windows 8.1, so I am confused as to what has changed (other than the OS version, of course).
I cannot start Windows my laptop. I can get into safe mode. I've tried to system restore and clean boot. I have tried verifier which gives the error iastor.sys

I get a bsod with "Critical error. Start menu and Cortana aren't working. We'll try fix it the next time you sign in."
Now I can't access anything on my laptop.
That's what my husband's laptop says after signing in to Windows 10. He installed an upgrade to Windows 10 about a week ago, and no problems until yesterday - 8/9/2015. A window comes up saying "Critical Error - Start menu and Cortana aren't working. We'll try to fix it the next time you sign in." Then there is a button within that window that says, "Sign out now."
When he clicks on "Sign out now" his laptop restarts, shows the page with the date, he is able to clear that to the sign in page, he puts in his password, hits enter, and the same critical error shows again on his desktop. He is locked into this round robin. The toolbar doesn't load all the usual icons. He clicked on the google chrome icon on the desktop one of the times, and its homepage came up, but he was unable to use the page or to access the internet. At first he was able to click on something in the lower right corner and learned that he had internet access, but he still couldn't access the internet. Now that piece of information is unavailable to him.
When he right clicks on his desktop, the right-click window comes up as usual, but when he clicks on "display settings" for example, he gets another window that says, "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel." However, the slide show of his photos he uses for his desktop display or background is working well. What can he do to fix his Start Menu?
Each time I click on the tile for the start menu a message comes up saying critical error and will try to restart going through the same process over and over. I am able to get online using my security password program but cannot use any menu options and cannot get into setting to restore .
View 1 RepliesI upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 Home. Now I get random BSODs related to nvraid, error 11. I Googled error 11 and it suggest it may be caused from an outdated chipset driver. My PC is from 2007 so there are no current chipset drivers available. I am using the last available nForce 750i SLI chipset driver for my ASUS P5N-D motherboard from Nvidia.
View 2 RepliesToday I was warned by windows 10 that my antivirus was off. I checked windows defender (the only AV I have) and it was indeed off. However when I try to start it I get an error:
So then I went to services and tried to manually start the service, only to get this:
Why does the service keep getting turned off?
It has been doing this EVERY time I restart or start up my computer. It is very annoying as it clears some of my apps. It also says it is putting me on a temporary account or something like that.
View 1 RepliesEarlier today I tried to rebuild the windows search index, only to find out that I currently have no locations indexed. I also cannot modify to add any new locations. Windows search troubleshooter shows the following results:
I went to services and tried to start the windows search service, only to be given an error message about the path specified not existing. This doesn't make any sense because I can literally see the windows search executable:
Recently, sometime after getting the free upgrade from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10, I noticed my DVD/CD drive was no longer being acknowledged by my laptop.
I went into Device Manager and found "Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)".
I uninstalled the device(TSSTcorp CDDVDW SU-208BB,) and restarted. Nothing changed, so I tried going into registry and deleting UpperFilters and LowerFilters, and again restarted. No change. When I start my computer in safe mode, it works fine.
I also tried buying an external dvd/cd drive, plugged it in and installed drivers. It came out with the exact same error.
My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite S55-A5236.

A few days ago, my PC (Lenovo PC, AMD A10 processor) was working completely fine. But then, I logged on and found that all my services had been disabled. After changing them all back to "Automatic", every time I woke my PC up from Sleep mode, it gave me the BSOD (error: CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED). Recently, and more worryingly, it now sometimes takes me to the same BSOD on startup, just atfer I have logged on.
(It's my only PC, so it's quite urgent as it constantly disrupts my work)

My BSOD is Kernel_Security_Check_Failure. It occurs after startup. It only began after upgrading to 10 on Friday. I never had crashes running 7.
Lately I've been making it through to the password screen and then the BSOD happens. Next time I startup, it might not happen.
I've updated all the device drivers, BIOS is up to date. I see critical on a lot of system drivers. I am not sure how to update or fix those.

When starting my PC up it often yields a BSOD, which automatically restarts the PC and then enters windows fine. I have had no other BSOD apart from when booting up my PC.
The errors also differ greatly, such as:
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
KERNEL_SECURITY_FAILURE (FLTMGR.sys)
I'm pretty sure there are more variants, that I just havn't seen or can remember.

View 2 RepliesI've been experiencing startup issues with my PC since last night. I go to startup and startup freezes. It seems that something is either stuck or freezing up on loading. Since it doesn't fully boot up, I have been hitting the reset button or holding the power button. It appears that this has made the problem worse. I went to startup this morning and am getting the same thing. Did the same steps of hitting reset and or holding the power button to shutdown. After this I am getting BSOD that keeps restarting and BSOD in a loop. The next boot loaded with repair options. I attempted to do startup repair and have been unsuccessful. How to get out of BSOD restart loop?

Well I thought I had this problem solved! I had the same exact issue running Windows 7 so I upgraded to 10. It worked for a few times and now each time I restart, the 3 mapped drives I have show the dreaded RED X. This pc worked perfectly prior to me installing a new Samsung SSD after cloning my OS.
I have a Synology NAS connected via Ethernet and have 3 mapped drives to it (each a separate folder, one for music, movies, and pics). All I have to do is double click the mapped drive and it open right away and the Red X disappears until the next reboot.
Any solid solution or a bat file that will fix my issue? I am not saavy when it comes to this type of thing. I need the mapped drives to work upon startup being I use this pc to load XBMC / Kodi for video playback. Kodi is in my startup folder and when the pc boots up, in Kodi I cannot access the files being the mapped drives are not accessible until I click them. Its a PITA...
This pc is in the basement and I rarely go down there so I boot it up via a WOL app and never have to touch a thing on it hence my dilemma!
Is it possible the SSD loads to quickly and the mapped drives are not visible yet?
A script error message started opening about a week after I upgraded from Win 8.1 to Win 10.
Here is the info in in the message. I guess it's about what broke in the script. [URL] ....
It asks whether I want to keep running the script. Yes No. Since the message just told me the script was broken, I press No. The startup completes. I can't see that there are issues with how the computer operates.
I built a computer a few months ago using:
A Gigabyte Z97X Gaming G1 Motherboard
An Intel i7 4790K CPU
16 GB DDR4 Patriot Memory sticks
Samsung EVO 240GB SSD
Nvidia 256 GB Graphics card
Corsair CX750 Power supply
I immediately bought Windows 10 for it, and for the most part the computer worked fine the last few months. Every once in a while I would get a "Driver Stopped Working but has Recovered" that messed up the Windows control bar and required a restart to fix, but that stopped happening eventually with updates. I still got BSoD's from time to time, including "faulty hardware corrupted page."
Today I got a BSoD when I was logging in called "DPC Watchdog Violation," which I had seen before I think so I figured it would just restart and be fine. However, now I cannot restart the computer, because after the Gigabyte motherboard logo, all I get is a blue screen that flashes on and off quickly. It is just a blue screen, sometimes with a dot in the middle. No matter what I cannot get past this infinite flashing screen, even in safe mode. Commands from the keyboard do nothing once I reach this screen although I can the mouse around. I can enter the special Windows control menu before getting to the flashing blue screen, but nothing has worked from there
Things I've tried:
-Disabling restart after BSoD -- no effect
-Restoring system image -- error, then no effect
-Resetting Windows -- no effect (although I've lost all my applications now)
-Removing my graphics card and plugging my monitor directly into the motherboard -- no effect
-Updating BIOS -- no effect
Currently trying to figure out something I can do in the registry. My last option is completely redownloading Windows 10 without saving files, but I'm not confident that will work given everything else I've tried.
I should probably preface by saying I am using a custom-built machine and never had a BSOD when I was using Windows 7. Since I took the plunge, I've been greeted by a BSOD on nearly every startup (usually around 1-3 minutes after the lock screen appears, before logging in). About 1 out of 6 startups have no BSOD, as evidenced by the frequency of the attached minidump files.
Every time, it's the same error, being KERNEL SECURITY CHECK FAILURE, which leads me to believe this issue stems from a single source (don't know much about BSODs so this is based on absolutely zero knowledge). I'm not sure if this changes anything about the diagnosis, but after the PC restarts from one BSOD, it generally reboots perfectly unhindered. I really just want to make sure these errors aren't pointing to a larger issue that needs to be addressed immediately.
