Windows 7: BSOD in 5 minutes after Win7 loading, error 0x000000E1

sting ice · 03 Feb 2013

Hi there!

I've started getting continuing BSOD's on my home laptop after installing HDD WD My Passport 2,5'' USB 3.0.

Now I have BSOD's even with HDD-off.

Looking for any help! Please take your time to look over the dump files and figure out exactly what the cause is.

Many thanks in advance,
Victor
