Repeated CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED (0xEF) only during Idle / AC unplug - ASUS ROG G614JV - CoreWorker_eIS

Hello everyone,

I'm experiencing a very unusual BSOD and would really appreciate your help identifying the root cause.

System

• ASUS ROG Strix G16 (G614JV)
• BIOS: G614JV.331
• Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26200.8655

The issue started suddenly a couple of days ago. Before that, the laptop was completely stable.

The laptop never crashes under heavy load (gaming, programming, stress testing, etc.).

The BSOD only occurs when:

• The laptop is left idle for several minutes.
• The display turns off due to inactivity.
• In some cases, immediately after unplugging the AC adapter.

Every crash results in the same bugcheck:

CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED (0xEF)

WinDbg always reports CoreWorker_eIS as the critical process, but I haven't been able to determine what is causing it to terminate.

I have already tried:

• SFC
• DISM
• CHKDSK
• Updating all ASUS and Intel drivers
• Updating BIOS
• Disabling the VirtualBox network bridge

Unfortunately, the problem still persists.

I've collected all available logs, dump files, and diagnostic information.

Google Drive (logs, dumps, V2 Log Collector, WinDbg output):


If any additional logs or debugging information are needed, I'll be happy to provide them.

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Memtest86+ | The Open-Source Memory Testing Tool

Just 1 error is a test fail and testing can be aborted.

The more the passes the better the testing conditions.

It sometimes takes passes into the 20's to detect malfunctioning RAM.

The RAM can be tested all at one time or one at a time in the same DIMM.
