Situatie
The dreaded “blue screen of death,” infamously known as BSOD, can wreck your day. There are more than 500 BSOD error codes, but the Critical Process Died Stop Code gets the most attention. A critical process unexpectedly stopping is responsible for the majority of BSODs. You’ll know if you’re a victim because you’ll see error code 0x000000EF on the blue crash screen.
The “critical process died” stop code is one of the most undesirable sights for a Windows user.
