It's not a critical process but with windows it could've been anything that was causing it. Hopefully that did resolve it but I do recall you saying that you already updated all your drivers. I guess only time will tell now. Keep us updated so we can inform others of this fix, if that is the actual fix...
after that, the blue screen is gone for a day but I have to wait a few days to make sure

try running driver verifer again if you have replaced the card reader drivers. See if it finds anything else.

Critical Process Died - these are all windows files, some of them are related to your user, some relate to the client your user runs in, and some relate to boot. Its unusual for you to get them on a reinstall and its why I thought it might be hardware. Knowing what fille it blames would be a start


run this. I don't understand all of what it collects but I can understand some and it might tell me what file is crashing - https://www.sysnative.com/forums/pages/bsodcollectionapp/

have you tried this yet?
right click start button
choose powershell (admin)
type SFC /scannow and press enter
once its completed, copy/paste this command into same window:
Repair-WindowsImage -Online -RestoreHealth and press enter
SFC fixes system files, second command cleans image files, re run SFC if it failed to fix all files and restart PC

if 2nd one asks for source, I will show you how.

i see this in the windows error reporting screen - windows wcp store corruption, and its possible the above will fix it. It relates to system files which are the ones being corrupted and causing the critical process died errors

if that doesn't fix it, there is always a repair install - https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/16397-repair-install-windows-10-place-upgrade.html

How can i check if RAM is damaged ?

3 ways.
Run memtest - have you done this?
Rum Prime 95 as it tests ram & CPU - https://www.mersenne.org/download/
Open box and look at ram to see if its physically damaged.

if its doesn't fix and its hardware problem l, what you think its RAM or SSD?
I don't like guessing.

Your ssd seems good considering
Seatools: pass,
diskcrystalinfo: health status good,
properties>tools>check: pass,
diskcrystalmark: i think pass,
EaseUS Partition Master: surface test no bad sectors,
Macrorit Disk Scanner: no bad sectors,

I asked you already to set PC up for minidumps, any reason you haven't? And if you have, can you go to C:/windows/minidump
copy the minidump files to another folder
From this new folder, upload them to a file sharing website and show me a link.

I used to have a windows page that explained all the reasons why dumps aren't being created.. I found the link but MS have since changed the page itself.

i assume you aren't running ccleaner or other disk cleanup programs as they can remove dumps.

the folder is created as soon as 1st dump happens, so it would appear something is not working in that process.

I used to think UNEXPECTED_STORE_EXCEPTION was related to storage drives, then to USB drives, now I am not exactly sure again. I suspect its just another driver error. As the STORE is likely the driver store.

look in event viewer or Reliability History, something should have a record of the error.

did you run SFC?

What were results of Memtest?
do you mind running that sysnative program again? it will have the last 10 days in it since its only info I can get.

you have ccleaner smart clean in start programs, what is it doing?
The purpose of this feature was only ever, and still is, to check your system’s junk levels to display contextual prompts to clean or trigger cleaning (such as when a lot of junk has built up, or when you close a browser after using it).

maybe disabling it while we figure out problem could help?
