Did you already run the hard drive tests?
The smaller Samsung drive failed the long generic test; I ran chkdsk and found it detected bad blocks. Would this be the cause of crashing?
It could yes, did you run '/r' with chkdsk?
Please check the health of the hard drives with HDTune, make screenshots of the health and post them.
I ran chkdsk /r /f on both drives. I'm backing up the smaller Samsung drive onto the newer 3TB drive - in the process it crashed with a bug check in NTFS about three times. I'm going to swap the drives - put the new drive inside the system, then plug the older Samsung into my USB cradle. I'll run HDTune on them when the backup's done - won't be for a few days.
OK, the 3TB drive doesn't show up in HDtune but the Samsung 750GByte drive does - here are the two pages attached:Attachment 62449Attachment 62450
I've swapped out the 750GByte drive, now it's only the SSD and 3TB drive. This now shows up in HDTune:Attachment 62462
It's crashed again 8(

Please run SeaTools again on the drives.
Run SeaTools to check the integrity of your HDD. SeaTools for DOS and Windows - How to Use - Windows 7 Help Forums
Run following tests
- Short Drive Self Test
- Short generic
- Long generic
If the short generic fails, no need for the long generic.
NoteDo not run SeaTools on an SSD as the results will be invalid.
