My laptop BSOD'd a few weeks ago, and I've been limping by in Safe Mode until today. I put my laptop to sleep, and upon wake, the laptop BSOD, and continued to do so every time I booted up. The only message displayed with SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION, and viewing the crash dump with BlueScreenView netted no results.
Another symptom: BSOD displayed CRITICAL_SERVICE_FAILED when trying to run a Chkdsk.
Laptop:
i7
8GB RAM
2 128GB RAID 0
Problem & Solution
Turns out the problem was a corrupted pagefile.sys file. When the laptop went to sleep, the pagefile.sys became corrupted, and every bootup after that, Windows would try to access the corrupted pagefile.sys and BSOD with SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION.
I disabled the pagefile, and the computer now boots up normally. I used the following tutorial on technet:
