BSOD Critical Process Died

[Blade Runner]

I am having trouble with my main rig, in the last week I have been getting random BSOD with the error saying "Critical Process Died"

I have done all the usual checks, memory, drives and reinstalled windows but I am still getting it and also some other random faults like the Ethernet just disconnecting for a short time and then reconnecting on its own.

I have looked in the AI suite and it showed a reading of about 2.85v on the 3.3v rail, I checked this in the BIOS and it is showing similarly low on the 3.3v rail.

I have also had a problem with Power Surges on BOOT which I had to change the setting in the BIOS to ignore to let the pc boot up.

Does anyone know if this low voltage would be likely to cause the critical process died errors?

Any help much appreciated.

PS. I have also run "sfc /scannow several times and get the message that it has found errors but cant repair all of them.

I am not sure how significant this is because I ran the same on my SP4 it shows the same message and it is running fine.

What is the stop error code, and what have you found out about it already?

I have not kept the scrap of paper that I had it written down on but when I did enter it in google it suggested that it was hardware related.

When it happens again I will write it down and post it.

All the cables and components snug? Same thing with stock settings etc?

Everything is set to stock now and I haven't had it for a couple of days.

I need to check the RAM seating although the windows test said it was okay but doing this is a big job which means a partial drain of the loop.

I was kinda hoping that it was the PSU giving the low 3.3V rail output that was causing it so I could just RMA the PSU? Is 2.8V on that rail not a problem?

Use the online DISM command for the repair. Also, Asus AI Suite was always trouble for me at times. You might uninstall it if it starts happening again.

Never use those programs. Nothing but an annoyance. Has imporved a bit over the years it would seem.
