Does anyone know anything about this file?

Other then it's a native Intel Cpu driver what do you need to know?

Is it a significant problem in BSoD files?

No and it's not actually a file, it's just a CPU vendor string which is baked into the PRCB of the processor. AMD has the exact same but it is called AuthenticAMD.sys instead. They're primarily there to state that the processor is authentic. They're stored in an enumeration called CPU_VENDORS: CPU_VENDORS (amd64)

You'll see a lot of threads referring to those two files because Windows seems to default to those a probable cause when a system has crashed with a Stop 0x124, when the component which reported the error is the processor.

Rich (BB code):

0: kd> dt _KPRCB fffff8017ffbf180 -y Vendor
nt!_KPRCB
   +0x8590 VendorString : [13]  "GenuineIntel"

Is the BSOD a 0x124 WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR by any chance?
