Crucial thread failure BSOD after storm caused power outage
Hello, I am trying to isolate what happened when a power failure last night took down my desktop. I haven't had problems with this computer in two years(and haven't had a power outage in about as long amazingly, one of the few benefits of a drought I guess). Based on what I have found, it is a hardware failure. The error is the:
"A process or thread crucial to system operation has unexpectedly ended"
I have been trying to figure out how to read the minidump files with no success and I would like to get my desktop up and running as soon as possible.
Here are some of the symptoms I am seeing. When booted on, two harddrives always show of my four(two 1 TB, 2 SSDs of different makes, one of which is the primary OS drive). The F and C always show, but the other two often do not. Except when I ran Seagate tools. From what I can tell, both of them are on the same pair of ports to the motherboard. The two that do not show up normally, return a bunch of errors on the SeaTools scan for logs reporting and barely function scan wise and won't scan through SMART scan.
The D and E drives almost seem to randomly lose connection.
The computer BSODs on reboot so far approx 50% of the time of 4 boot ups. CHKDISK /F /R returned no errors.
Based on my information and knowledge, I would assume the motherboard is damaged. But without more information I can't tell.
Attached are the Minidump files.
