Why Was This PC Getting BSODs?
This PC repair service in Singapore started with a customer whose PC was throwing BSODs (Blue Screen of Death crashes) every time it booted. Drives that fail intermittently are one of the trickier faults to pin down, because the PC can seem fine one moment and completely unstable the next.
Root Cause
The PC had Windows spread across two drives: an SSD and an HDD. Testing showed the operating system depended on files located on both drives. When one drive was disconnected or unavailable, Windows could not function properly and would crash or become unstable. Replacing the storage and reinstalling Windows on a clean setup resolved the issue.
What We Checked First
- Boot behaviour: confirmed BSOD on startup and identified which drive Windows was loading from
- Drive detection: checked how Windows was distributed across the SSD and HDD
- Drive health: checked storage configuration and drive accessibility
- OS installation: found Windows split across both drives, with OS-critical files on each
- Connection check: reseated SATA and power cables to rule out a loose connection before recommending replacement
How We Fixed It
- Drive fault confirmed: Storage issue confirmed: testing showed the operating system depended on both drives, creating an unstable setup.
- Old drives removed: Existing SSD and HDD removed as part of the storage refresh and Windows rebuild.
- New SSD and HDD installed: Replacement drives fitted and connected.
- Fresh Windows install: Windows installed cleanly onto the new SSD. One drive, one OS install. No split configuration.
- Boot test: PC booted into Windows without errors. BSOD resolved.

BSOD Reported
Blue Screen of Death issue reported on startup. The PC was checked for possible drive-related instability that could interrupt Windows booting.
Old Drives Out
The existing SSD and HDD were removed after testing the storage configuration and identifying it as the source of the startup issue.
New Drives In
Replacement SSD and HDD were installed, followed by a fresh Windows setup to restore a cleaner and more stable boot environment.
Clean Boot
After the drive replacement and fresh Windows installation, the PC booted into Windows normally and the startup issue was resolved.
"Storage-related BSOD faults can be difficult to diagnose because the PC may appear to boot normally at times. When Windows depends on files across multiple drives, disconnecting or replacing one drive can create unexpected startup problems. A clean storage setup and fresh Windows installation is often the most reliable solution."
- Mansa ComputersFinal Result
Both drives were replaced and Windows was installed fresh on the new SSD. The PC boots cleanly with no BSOD. The old split-OS configuration across two drives is gone.
If your PC is showing random crashes, freezing mid-task, or taking a long time to boot, the storage setup is worth checking. Startup problems linked to storage can often be identified before complete failure occurs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What causes a PC to show a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death)?
BSODs have many possible causes: failing drives, bad RAM, driver conflicts, CPU instability, or overheating. Drive-related BSODs can happen when Windows has trouble reading important system files during startup or normal use. In this case, the PC was checked for storage-related instability, and replacing the affected drives with a fresh Windows installation helped resolve the boot issue.
Do I lose my data when an SSD or HDD is replaced?
If the old drive is still readable, we can transfer data before swapping it out. If the drive has failed completely, data recovery becomes a separate job and is not always possible. The best protection is a backup before the drive reaches failure. If you bring in a PC with a failing drive, tell us what data matters most before we start, and we will advise on what is recoverable.
