Hi,
I turned on my PC this morning and got a BSOD with the message Critical Process Died. Naturally I ran BlueScreenView which generated a handy text file that showed me what driver was causing the problem. However, I can't quite understand what it says. It seems to be related to a certain nt kernel file but I am not too sure. The dump file contents are as below, and it would be lovely if anyone could help with decoding the contents.
I ran sfc/scannow but there were no integrity violations.
I also ran my Norton 360 AV but it detected no severe viruses.

As well as running BlueScreenView, I decided to run WinDbg in order to get more details. This was what it generated. Hopefully it will be helpful.

I also ran the !analyze -v to get more details. Should you require them, do tell me. It seems a bit of an eye sore to post it in a single post that's already long enough.
Thanks!
