BSOD when transferring files to external HDD
Hi all,
This is my first post and hoping someone can shed some light, as I don't know much about computers
I have a Toshiba ultrabook Z830 running windows 7 home premium 64bit (came pre-installed), I've had it for two months.
It was working great but lately I've been getting the BSOD lot, I noticed it only seems to happen when I'm transferring data to my external hard drives (WD 1 TB & Seagate 2 TB - it happens using both of them). I doesn't occur when surfing the net, playing music, etc.
When I transfer data it will generally get to halfway, then freeze for a minute or so and then I get the BSOD. It comes up quickly so I don't really get a chance to read anything.
Is this caused by a virus or something? I've have AVG pro and Malwarebytes and nothing shows up when I run both programs.
Any help you can offer in solving this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Jeremy
