Kernel updates make changes that sometimes require nic driver updates.
You could also nuke out the virtual nic/switch and rebuild it.

problems. I might have to restore the VHDs files and bring the server
up to date from the daily backups.

What nic cards and have you disabled RSS/TOE/VMQ on the parent nics?

crashed with a BSOD with CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED and no memory dmp
file was created. It seems that there is something wrong with the
OS partition. Even when trying to copy a large file to the C:

What about his DriverView utility? Have you looked at the loaded
drivers? There shouldn't be too much other than MS stuff on a VM.

Used that?

Hi Peter. All I see in the BSOD is CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED but
what that process is, I have no idea.
The server is still running (6+ hrs). Hope it remains so
during the night.

Depending on the process, disk writing may have stopped and no
dump or event log entry created. Are there any clues on the
STOP screen as to which process stopped?

Yes, because the Write debugging information is set to
Automatic memory dump.

Is there a dmp file on the system and have you run it through
nirsoft's bsod tool?

Hi Andrew
Thanks for replying. It's Hyper 2008 R2 and the VM is
Windows 2012 Standard Edition. When looking at the Event
log I see reference to Kernel Power. But not very
informative as to what is causing it.

Is the host running Hyper-V 2012-R2 or 2008-R2?
And is the VM running 2012 or 2012-R2?
Any other event log messages?

Hi all
Lately we have been experiencing a strange issue with
one of our Windows servers. It keeps crashing
intermittently with a BSOD reporting
CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED. This seems to be a very generic
error message and have tried researching it on the net
to see what could be causing this.
But no success. This Windows 2012 server is running as
a VM under Hyper-V R2. I’ve excluded hardware issues
because all our other VMs are working well without any
issues at all. The only difference is that they are
running Windows Server 2008 R2. I cannot understand
why this is happening. Could it be that the OS has
become corrupted due to a MS update? Has anyone
encountered this before? Any further help on this
would be appreciated.
TIA
Pierre
