Blue screen

Hi
I have trouble with a blue screen and then shut-down, before all this happened I had brought a WD My Book 4tb drive and installed the apps and tried to back up a secondary drive (750gb info), this did not complete properly and ever since I have had a BSOD problem.
Strangely on the notification flag (bottom right) a "backup in progress" clock appears, when I go Back Up proper, back up is NOT running.
To try and re-set things I started back properly and after about 3 mins BSOD. I have treid this several times with back up to different drives, same result.

I have just used you Windows Repair prog and did everything as instructed, even a clean start, but the problem is still there.

Please have you got any suggestions ??

I have attached notepad file of several of the shutdowns, the problem seems to always be the same.

Cheers
Bob

Grab this program called WhoCrashed

It will tell you what the possible file or program was that caused the blue screen. Let me know what it says :wink:

Thanks Shane
I attached the file ? from "who crashed" also have attached a notepad copy in case.
Anyway looks like it could be a hardware prob, so today I will give my machine a good dust down and try re-seating the drives and anything else I can do easily.
Thanks very much for your help.

That is a good first step, also make sure to drain out all the power to properly reset the hardware. Pull the power cord out and hit the power button a few times, when it tries to turn itself on, all the power will instantly drain out.

If that doesnt do it then we will need to check some other things. But somethings a reseat, cleaning out and power reset can make a big difference :-)

Cleaned the box out, drained power, reseated everything I could lay my hands on switched on perfect, ran all day no probs.
Switched on this morning 5 mins - crash !!!, the blue screen has writing on but it goes off so quick I cant read it, is there a way to find out what it says ?
I have attached the dump files (latest) and a notepad of Who Crashed.
Appreciate your help.
Cheers
Bob
