Hi Shane
Yes after the power reset I left it a couple of days and no crashes.
Before this reset if I tried to back up (Windows back up) 10% to 20% through it would crash for sure, tried this several times and to different drives.
Tonight, just this minute finished a full back up with no crash !!!

So looks like the problem may be solved, but tomorrow I will start editing (HD Video) again and we will see what happens then.

Still would like to know why though, please note - 6 months age refitted my computer with these specs:-

i7-4770 3.5GHz
ASUSZ-87-K Motherboard
Nvida GeForce GTX760
16GB Kingston Hyper RAM
C: = Samsung SSD 840 Pro

All going brilliant until I brought a WD My Book (4TB) for back up and installed all the WD apps, then tried to back up, things just went downhill from there really.
By the way this WD drive has been disconnected and ALL WD apps uninstalled while this last try has been going on, I shall try reconnecting the WD (but NO apps) after my editing session to see if that crashes it.

I really appreciate your help again and will definitely let you know how I get on.
Cheers
Bob

I have heard that the WD app is horrible and has caused a lot of problems for people. I never use the software that comes with external drives lol

Hi Shane

I have good news, I have been video editing like crazy and have done two full backups to different drives and NO crashes and no problems.
I am very grateful for your advice and your excellent "Tweaking.com" program.

As a foot note if you are thinking about buying a WD My Book, don't !!! As I said I have backed up to two other drives with no probs, BUT every time I tried to back up to WD drive it crashed my computer, then I deleted all the apps and formatted the WD and tried again, computer didn't crash, but back up wouldn't complete either !!
The WD works ok with storage and stuff though.

Again thanks very much
Bob

Shane:
Good to hear you are working :-)

All I use is WD drives, BUT every new WD external I get I instantly format. I NEVER install their software. :wink:
