CRITICAL PROCESS DIED -BSOD

Hello. Hope you're all well.
I come with a seemingly unusual problem, I've never had it happen to me before and I couldn't find a solution for this anywhere.

I've found many "CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED" BSOD solutions, but none of them seem to work.
The problem is my computer doesn't let me boot AT ALL, not even in safe mode. All it does is show me the BSOD, then leads to automatic repair and runs the diagnosis of the PC and then shows an error that says it couldn't repair the PC and directs me to Windows Repair Screen.
I've tried everything I know. From running sfc /scannow, trying chkdsk commands, DISM commands. I've tried resetting my PC, uninstalling the latest updates, anything and everything I found online.
I seriously need help on this, I'm at a loss of what to do.
I would really appreciate your help.
By the way, I have an HP Compaq LA2205, Windows 10, x64, in case this information is of any use.
(Please do not mind the tags, I literally had no idea what tag to use.)

    There are some processes that, if they terminate, then the OS shuts down. That appears to be what is happening here. Causes of this include hard drive corruption where the program is stored, memory corruption when the program runs, a malicious program that is tampering with the program, etc.

    Unfortunately diagnosing this would be difficult. If possible I would recommend you scan the drive for errors and then check memory for issues. You can do this using tools outside of Windows such as Memtest86 if you cannot boot into Windows at all.

    Unless you have technical knowledge of debugging then the only other option I can think of, if repairing doesn't work, is to reinstall Windows from scratch. If you have spare memory you can swap out memory to eliminate that as a problem. If you have a spare drive then you could also swap it out. I'm assuming you don't have any malicious software but it might not hurt to run a scan as well but you'd need to get AV that can run from a boot disk if you cannot boot into Windows.

    Please create tools that can be used for troubleshooting:

    1) Find 3 flash drives that you can format

    2) Find a working computer

    3) Create a bootable Ubuntu / Linux flash drive:
