Recently, I decided to clean my 4 years old Alienware 15 r2 laptop so I dissembled it, after putting it back together, windows keeps showing blue screen with code Critical Process Died. I tried to boot the SSD Drive from another computer and it works fine and now I really can’t identify any problems and I don’t know what to do. Please help me!

Does it give error at startup?

critical process died covers a wide range of windows system files, many of which are necessary for windows to work, and if they crash, windows does as well.

Do you have a win 10 installer? if you don't - On another PC, download the Windows 10 media creation tool and use it to make a win 10 installer on USB - its a handy boot disk

try doing a startup repair
boot from installer
on screen after languages, choose repair this pc, not install.
choose troubleshoot
choose advanced
choose startup repair - this will scan PC and maybe fix this - will ask for logon info

if its just after startup, and you can get into windows, Can you follow option one on the following link - here - and then do this step below: Small memory dumps - Have Windows Create a Small Memory Dump (Minidump) on BSOD

that creates a file in c windows/minidump after the next BSOD
copy that file to documents
upload the copy from documents to a file sharing web site, and share the link here and I will get someone to convert file into a format I can read

it seems odd it boots in one PC but not the PC it was originally in. I can't think of a reason it would make any difference

are you sure you cleaned laptop well enough, as heat could be a cause... probably not at startup but if it wasn't happening before the clean, and ssd works fine elsewhere, it has to be something to do with the clean itself.

I don't know, that's what I thought! But I can't find where I do wrong, I even re-dissemble the pc and put it back together again, still not working(still working on windows 10 media creation tool, the pc I'm currently using is, slow)

I have reinstall windows 10 and now my computer works fine, here's what I think happened: The first time I boot up my laptop after I put them back together, something went wrong, maybe I put the wrong screw in the wrong hole or something, so my pc won't boot the system properly. Then I plugged my SSD into another PC and found out it wasn't broken, so I put it back into the broken PC, and boot again, which might have caused some damage in the system files of Windows. So after I re-dissemble an assemble my PC back together windows won't boot. Now that I have reinstalled windows, and I'm able to kept all my files in disk D, better than nothing. Thank you for your time and patient!
