Critical_Process_Died indicates a Windows process stopped unexpectedly, though it doesn't clearly point to one exact problem. If this crash message appears consistently, storage issues often come into play and may also trigger freezes or block POST. A faulty storage device could lead to these failures. Try removing the storage component and observe if the issue resolves.
I attempted this about 7 months back, and MemTest86 completed the test without any issues. The full scan lasted roughly 7 hours.
During installation, Windows doesn't always place the EFI drive on the target disk. It depends on the motherboard's assignment of Disk 0. The removed drive might still hold boot files. You can manually set up a new EFI but need access to the Diskpart utility. In Windows, press the Windows key + R, type 'diskpart', choose the disk, select partitions, pick the main partition, and allocate space for the EFI (500MB). After creation, you can confirm the new partition or adjust it as needed. Use the command to list partitions and verify the selection.
