CSRSS.EXE BSOD Error" VISTA_DRIVER_FAULT"

Original Title: CSRSS.EXE BSOD

 

I started having issues with the computer freezing and BSODing, or freezing with a pink or blue blank screen and then restarting.  I was able to get a minidump and it is as follows:


CRITICAL_OBJECT_TERMINATION (f4)

terminated.
Several processes and threads are necessary for the operation of the
system; when they are terminated (for any reason), the system can no
longer function.

I have run spybot and malware bytes and hasn't seemed to fix anything.  Thanks for any input.

There was an IO error causing a critical process to terminate.  I would start by running a system file check & CHKDSK


Please run a system file check (SFC)

All instructions are in our Wiki article below...
Should you have any questions please ask us.




CHKDSK /R /F
Chkdsk disclaimer: While performing chkdsk on the hard drive if any bad sectors are found  any data available on that sector might be lost so as usual backup your data.
Run CHKDSK /R /F from an elevated (Run as administrator) Command Prompt.
Do this for each hard drive on your system.
When it tells you it can't do it right now - and asks you if you'd like to do it at the next reboot - answer Y (for Yes) and press Enter.

Then reboot and let the test run.
It may take a while for it to run, but keep an occasional eye on it to see if it generates any errors.

 See "CHKDSK LogFile" below in order to check the results of the test.

CHKDSK LogFile:
Go to Start and type in "eventvwr.msc" (without the quotes) and press Enter
Expand the Windows logs heading, then select the Application log file entry.
Double click on the Source column header.
Scroll down the list until you find the Chkdsk entry (wininit for Win7) (winlogon for XP).
Copy/paste the results into your next post.
