Getting BSOD only when playing Dark Souls (CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED)
I can launch the game and play just fine, but after a while there's a guaranteed crash with a "CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED" message. It doesn't seem to happen under any other circumstance. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the game to different drive and the problem persists. I don't have any restore points to go back to and I really don't want to reinstall windows.
Memtest doesn't show any errors.
Chkdsk didn't come up with anything.
SFC didn't find any problems.
WhoCrashed seems to think the main problems are either ntoskrnl.exe or ntdll.sys.

Hi,
The majority of the DMP files are of the
CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED (ef) bug check.
This indicates that a critical system process died.
However, I can see you've also enabled Driver Verifier, leaving a few
DRIVER_VERIFIER_IOMANAGER_VIOLATION (0xC9) bug checks.
This is the bug check code for all Driver Verifier I/O Verification violations.
BugCheck C9, {21f, fffff88009377174, fffff9800c20ee10, 0}
^^ The 1st parameter of the bug check is 21f which indicates a driver has not filled out a dispatch routine for a required IRP major function.
Unable to load image \SystemRoot\System32\drivers\ScpVBus.sys, Win32 error 0n2
*** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for ScpVBus.sys
*** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for ScpVBus.sys
Probably caused by : ScpVBus.sys ( ScpVBus+b174 )
^^ XInput Wrapper for DS3 and Play.com USB Dual DS2 Controller driver.
Either update this driver to the latest version, and if that doesn't work/or uninstall the software as it's causing conflicts.
Regards,
Patrick
