Windows 10: Will installing a new SSD on a BSOD crippled laptop fix it

My HP laptop running Windows 10 home no longer boots after suffering from a BSOD months ago which I never managed to resolve after many hours of effort and reading tutorials etc. I am now going to replace its 256Gb SSD with a new 1Tb SSD then clone the old drive onto the new drive. But will the new drive still suffer from the BSOD issues of the old drive or should I do a fresh install of Win 10 onto the new drive and then move or transfer the files and programs from the old drive, the ones I want to keep, onto the new drive. What do you think guys grateful for any advice.

Z Book BSOD with Second SSD Drive

Hi all

I have an issue with an HP Z Book. It is a new Generation 6 device and came with a pre-installed second SSD drive.

All worked fine until I tried to put our corporate image onto the primary OS SSD.

Firstly, the new OS installed onto the secondary SSD rather than the primary.

So I disconnected/removed the secondary, recreated the partition on the primary and loaded our stock OS.

The machine now works absolutely fine, as long as I do not try to re-introduce the second SSD drive.

If I reinstall this, the machine boots up OK for a second or two and then BSOD's.

Can anyone suggest the reason for this issue - the BSOD message reported a kernel error.

Any ideas on steps to take to resolve this?

Thanks

Phil

 

BSOD for corrupted hal.dll on new laptop with fresh Windows 10 installation

Hello,

Today I bought a new laptop HP Pavilion Power 15-cx0034nu and install Windows 10. The laptop has SSD and HDD and I install it on the SSD. When I try to install Chrome the laptop freezes and after 20 seconds
in this state, it gives me a blue screen(screenshot attached).

I try to install 3 different steps(Pro, Home and Home with 1 language) but every time when is in idle everything is ok but with little stress and it freezes.

One of the times I was able to install all drivers without freezing and I decided to start AIDA64 just to see if it will freeze with some stress and it does almost immediately.

I attach 3 snips from dumps related to this BSODs:

Snip3: https://photos.app.goo.gl/ZrxA853qsmon13v37

What is your opinion about this situation and is there a hope to be something different than a hardware issue? Is it normal to have corrupted hal.dll after a fresh install on a new laptop?

Please help me fix the issue if it is possible.

 

BSOD srttrail.txt, no fix, installed W10 on different SSD, how to fix it on original SSD?

Hey guys,

Two days ago I encountered BSOD srttrail.txt. I tried to fix it in many different ways, tried everything described here:

How to resolve Srttrail.txt BSOD error on Windows 10?

no luck. I tried to repair system from bootable pendrive with W10, didn't work neither, it said that it needed to be done from the operating system level.

Finally I plugged new, empty SSD and installed new copy of W10 there. So at this point I have C: with new W10 instalation, that I can access and D: with broken W10 installation causing BSOD srttrail.txt.

Is there any way to fix W10 instalation on D: from operation system being booted from C:? All W10 options that I can see refer to the copy installed on C:.

I'd really like to fix somehow installation from D: without loosing data, programs, apps etc. I know that the last resort is to format D: and make a clean instalation there, but I'd prefer to avoid this.

Thanks for your time!
