SSD causes CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED on fresh install

I've tried reinstalling windows multiple times, different cables, updating and manually installing SATA AHCI Drivers, updated BIOS, updated windows, etc. My computer works fine when running off my 1TB HDD. On the SSD it'll run fast and smooth for a while, an hour if I'm lucky, after clean install then it'll crash "CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED" and the time before crashing won't last as long on next boot. According to SSDLife my SSD is fine too https://i.imgur.com/JiZZ9vF.png Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

tried running memtest86 on your ram? 1 stick at a time, up to 8 passes. Only error count you want is 0, any higher likely cause of the bsod. remove/replace any ram sticks that get errors.

If Windows is still on the SSD, can you boot into it and in the time you have, go to the Windows folder on C drive, set view to show hidden folders and files, and copy the Memory.dmp file to another USB (it shouldn't be too big on a clean install), upload it to a file sharing web site and show link here.

I will see if someone else will convert it for us and see what its blaming.

Critical process died is normally a windows process causing it, not hardware or drivers. Ram could be the cause as perhaps when it runs off ssd it uses different areas of ram compared to hdd

I ran memtest86 and came up with no errors. I tried finding the memory.dmp file but couldn't see it anywhere in Windows folder.
I do have "show hidden folders" enabled

The crashes started happening almost instantly but I changed a few BIOS settings, which I've changed before but they reset, and[strike] I haven't crashed so far[/strike]. Still ended up crashing after I enabled hotplug on SATA ports, changed boot mode to UEFI, and enabled Intel Serial I/O. I've done these before(Except change boot mode to UEFI) and they switched back after crashing.

UPDATE: I would still crash regardless but I noticed I crash immediately when I try to run Steam

changing boot method one way to stop PC booting completely.

This indicates that a critical system process died. A critical process is one that forces the system to bug check if it terminates. This can happen when the state of the process is corrupted or otherwise is damaged. When this happens, as these processes are critical to the operation of Windows, a system bug check occurs as the operating system integrity is in question.

Built in Windows critical system services include csrss.exe, wininit.exe, logonui.exe, smss.exe, services.exe, conhost.exe, and winlogon.exe.

not sure why you would get that error from just changing EUFI boot method, Intel Serial I/O, and hotplug. None of the exe files are boot files.

csrss = client services (your user)
winnit.exe = windows initialisation (refer boot)
logonUI - Logon UI (pretty obvious)
smss.exe = Session Manager Sub System.This program is important for the stable and secure running of your computer and should not be terminated.
Services.exe = PC won't work without it
conhost.exe - The conhost.exe process sitting in the middle between CSRSS and cmd.exe allows Windows 7 to fix both of the problems in previous versions of Windows—not only do the scrollbars draw correctly, but you can actually drag and drop a file from Explorer straight into the command prompt:"
Winlogin.exe - This process performs a variety of critical tasks related to the Windows sign-in process. https://www.howtogeek.com/322411/what-is-windows-logon-application-winlogon.exe-and-why-is-it-running-on-my-pc/

its likely the error happened before windows had a chance to create a dump file, there are a few times that can happen. Not being able to login is one of them.

Perhaps you should make the changes before installing Win 10. UEFI should be boot method on Win 10 PC anyway.
