Hello,
I installed an ssd a month ago with no problems. Last weekend, I installed the former c: drive as the d: drive. All went well, reinstalling steam to the d: drive. Then I started getting blue screens on boot up causing it to recycle. Disconnecting the d: drive allowed the pc to boot.

When I reconnect the d: drive it boots fine, then the next reboot back to blue screen until it is removed. Any ideas what may be happening? I disabled the automatic restart so I can catch the blue screen next time it occurs.

I see the following in the event viewer, I think the first is from my g15 keyboard:
The driver \Driver\WUDFRd failed to load for the device Root\SIDESHOW\0001.
The NVIDIA Stereoscopic 3D Driver Service service has reported an invalid current state 0.
 
Maybe it is trying for some weird reason to load some stuff from the d: drive?

Did you delete the partition and remake/format d: when you put it in?
 
Yes, I reformatted the drive and it was a fresh install of windows 7. I hear a high pitched sound when it is at the windows boot screen which then blue screens after a few seconds.
 
Might be something as simple and old school as the partition is still marked active and the BIOS isn't smart enough to know what drive to boot from..
 
Thanks for the suggestions. I have since rebooted many times and it has not reoccurred. Looking through system restore, there were a couple of microsoft critical updates installed around that time. Maybe they were the cause, but all appears ok now. Thanks again.
 
Well, after days of no issues it wouldn't boot again. The stop code was 0x0000007B. InvisiBill's link indicates inaccessible boot device. Doing some searching, others with same issue resolved it by changing their bios from achi to compatibility mode.

I made the change and it booted up ok. CrystalDisk shows the write speeds took a hit. Would this be a driver issue?
