Windows 10 will not start. I can not even get to the log in screen.

Every time I try to boot the computer it tells me "your pc ran into a problem and needs to restart", with a stop code of "critical process died".

Things I have tried with no success:

■All system resetting options it gave me through windows 10.[/*]
■Audibly freaking out.[/*]
■Starting in safe mode w/wo network.[/*]
■Running chkdsk /f /r C: in command prompt.[/*]
■Freaking out silently.[/*]


Does anyone have a suggestion for what to try next?

Also if anyone would like more information I shall try my best to provide it.
 
Solution
running around room screaming? (not a serious suggestion, it just matches 2 of the things you have tried already)

does it start in safe mode or give same error? If it starts in safe mode, you can try to run this in command prompt(admin)
type SFC /scannow and press enter
once its completed, copy/paste this command into same window:
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth and press enter (if you type this out, spacing has to be exact)
SFC fixes system files, DISM cleans image files, re run SFC if it failed to fix all files and restart PC


I don't suppose it gives a file name?

is there anything on C drive you want to rescue? try making this on another PC...

Also, on another PC, download the Windows 10 media creation tool and use it to make a win 10 installer on USB

so a reset won't work?

If you can copy everything off C drive you want to keep, do a clean install

change boot order in BIOS so USB is first, hdd second
boot from installer
follow this guide: http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/1950-windows-10-clean-install.html

when you reach the screen asking for licence, click "I don't have a key" and win 10 will continue to install and reactivate once finished

On the screen where you choose where to install win 10, if it gives you an error about GPT drives, delete all the partitions on the hdd and press next. If it still gives error, cancel out of the installer and restart PC and start installer again, it will accept next on that screen this time (some PC just need a restart here)
 
Solution
It appears that your issues are a result of your Master Boot Record (MBR) being corrupted.

First off, try to repair your MBR. If this works, then you should be able to boot into Windows with all of your data intact.

If that doesn't work, you'll have to do a clean install of the OS. This will completely swap out all components of your machine, including the MBR. This will work undoubtedly, but you will lose data doing so, so be sure to try the MBR reset first.

Once you're up and running, be sure to run a backup. Program like Macrium Reflect or Rollback Rx will be able to do this and are both free.
