BSODs Won't Let Me Boot

[k3nobi]

I was troubleshooting an issue with audio glitching. Ran a scan through the cmd prompt, which said corrupted files were found but couldn't be fixed, so I ran some other scan and restarted. Was then greeted with a BSOD that told me "CRITICAL PROCESS DIED" and now I cannot boot at all.

what,exactly,were the scans you ran?

sfc /scannow? Whatever it was, I was prompted to run it on the next startup, then restarted, and was hit with the BSOD

What happens when you boot? Do you get a STOP error code? Did you look up that code?

Did you try booting into safe mode?

Did you try using the Windows Media Creation Tool to create a flash drive with the Windows ISO, to boot into repair mode? See:

I got nothing aside from "CRITICAL PROCESS DIED." I have a flash drive I use as a media creation tool, but I don't currently have it with me. Is it possible to create a new one without being able to boot in the first place?

You'd need a second computer. Do you have access to a computer at work or school or the local library?

I have a laptop, I was just under the impression that the media creation tool had to be made using the same computer

I'm not aware that it has to be. If you make it on one computer, I think it will still work on the other computer - particularly if the other computer has a valid Windows license. Maybe I'm mistaken?

I'm having some difficulty. I have the ISO file loaded on a flashdrive, I just can't figure out how to boot wit it. I can get to the point where I can select the repair option, but after that if just loops me to the options

MERGED QUESTION
Question from k3nobi : "PC Won't Boot from BSODs, Nothing Works"

My PC just started giving me BSODs every time I attempted to startup for no apparent reason when attempting some minor scans yesterday, and thus far nothing has worked. I tried making a recovery tool to repair Windows 10, and a number of other things. It won't even let me reset the PC. I'm at the end of my rope here.

The BSOD error tells me that "CRITICAL PROCESS DIED" and nothing else.

System specs? And how old is the system? Did you update anything before it started crashing? Does it crash during anything specific?

About exactly a year old. I don't think anything changed at all. I ran a Malwarebytes scan, though that's something I've done before. All of this happened after a minor audio glitching error resurfaced that I thought I'd fixed before. Since yesterday, it's been crashing on each boot.
