    BSOD machine_check_exception when attaching a secondary drive


    Hi guys,
    I just built a new PC:


    MSI X99A Sli Plus
    PSU Cooler Master V550
    5820K
    DDR4 32GB
    Nvidia Quadro K2200
    Samsung SM951 256 GB M.2 boot drive


    I installed Windows 10 PRO, and played with it for some hours with no problems.
    I also run Intel XTU to stress it and all is good.


    Now I want to connect the hard drives from my old PC but I have this problem: after a few minutes into windows or even at boot, the PC freezes with machine_check_exception blue screen - no numeric code at all.
    I tried to connect an old WD 1TB disk, an old Maxtor 1TB disk and also with a brand new Samsung 850 EVO 1TB, these drives connected to different SATA ports each time.
    When I detach all the drives apart of course the boot drive, the PC will start normally.


    Later I tried to connect the new SSD (one SSD is M.2 boot disk, the other is SATA data disk) and I got into Windows, had the time to format the SSD data disk but then on the next boot I got the same problem.


    Could it be some UEFI settings????


    Heeeeelp!!!!


    Thank you!

    Thank you!

    ********** update: it seems I didn't upload the file correctly! Now I've done it.


    I uploaded the zip file.

    Before I created it, I cleaned all previous logs, then connected an hard drive, booted, bitlocker logon, then PC freezing (this time without machine_check_exception.
    It froze when it was about to show the desktop.
    So I had to shut down, disconnect the hard drive, boot and go to windows.
    Then I created the zip file.

    Please check {windows partition}\windows\minidump and check if there are any dump files saved.
    The zip is empty of dump files.
    Please make sure your pc is configured for small dump files How to configure minidump | Windows 10 tutorial

    Thank you for the suggestion but one hour ago I think I figured out what was the problem.
    In my mobo's UEFI (MSI X99A SLI PLUS) I had to disable "fast boot" and before booting into Windows 10, after attaching the drives, I had to enter UEFI at least once so that the mobo would see them.
    Now I've done about 5 or 6 reboots just to check and things are ok so far.

    Good, watch it for a few days to see if any BSOD occurs
