Windows 7: External Hard Drive Causing Blue Screen Crash

BigTymer · 19 Apr 2010

I am experiencing blue screen crash when I plug in my WD Passport external drive. This drive has worked fine with my laptop/Windows 7 until now. I was told to attach the Minidump folder (seea attached). Also ran scan from WhoCrashed software and got the following analysis. Any help to get this problem corrected would be appreciated.

Analysis

Crash dump directory: C:\windows\Minidump

Crash dumps are enabled on your computer.

On Sun 4/18/2010 12:14:20 AM your computer crashed
This was likely caused by the following module: ntfs.sys
Bugcheck code: 0x50 (0xFFFFF9801AC80000, 0x0, 0xFFFFF880014663B4, 0x0)
Error: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
Dump file: C:\windows\Minidump\041810-25022-01.dmp
file path: C:\windows\system32\drivers\ntfs.sys

description: NT File System Driver
The crash took place in a standard Microsoft module. Your system configuration may be incorrect, possibly the culprit is in another driver on your system which cannot be identified at this time.

Conclusion
</B>
2 crash dumps have been found and analyzed. Note that it's not always possible to state with certainty whether a reported driver is really responsible for crashing your system or that the root cause is in another module. Nonetheless it's suggested you look for updates for the products that these drivers belong to and regularly visit Windows update or enable automatic updates for Windows. In case a piece of malfunctioning hardware is causing trouble, a search with Google on the bug check errors together with the model name and brand of your computer may help you investigate this further.

I wonder if AVG is causing the problems. Probably, when you plug in the drive, it triggers a scan from AVG.

Remove AVG completely using Programs and Features. Then, use the removal tool to clan out the rest.

http://download.avg.com/filedir/util...removerx64.exe

Then download and install Microsoft Security Essentials.

Thanks for the help. I have already removed AVG and downloaded the MS Security Essentials. I do not have portable drive with me to test but I will try this evening.

If anyone else has any insight it would be appreciated. I have had AVG the whole time I owned my computer and have used the external drive daily so I doubt that its the problem. However AVG had just let me know that my service has expired and I was on trial verson. ?????

Conclusion
</B>
2 crash dumps have been found and analyzed. Note that it's not always possible to state with certainty whether a reported driver is really responsible for crashing your system or that the root cause is in another module. Nonetheless it's suggested you look for updates for the products that these drivers belong to and regularly visit Windows update or enable automatic updates for Windows. In case a piece of malfunctioning hardware is causing trouble, a search with Google on the bug check errors together with the model name and brand of your computer may help you investigate this further.

These crashes were caused by your realtek (rtl8192se.sys)
wifi driver. I would download a fresh copy and re-install. See analysis below

It was probably AVG, but if you continue to have problems I suggest that you backup the data and reformat the hard drive. That solves most problems and can be done within a few hours if you have the space and the drive is less than 500GB
