I recently got a Radeon HD 7850 about two weeks ago and have been completely free of any issues. Less than a week ago I put in a small HDD for some extra storage space, a WD 120gb, just to hold some .iso backups and system backups. The HDD has a windows XP installation on it that I wasn't really concerned with reformatting.

Two days ago and just a little bit ago, I've gotten two different BSODs. The first was a SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION and today's was a PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA. The first happened while browsing the internet, and the second occurred while I was making dinner and nothing was running

Not exactly sure if I can do attachments, so here's a mediafire link to the two .dmp files and the WER- ... .sysdata.xml contained.

My system specs:
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
C2D E8400 3.00GHZ (OC@3.42)
4GB G.skill Ripjaw DDR3 1600
Asrock P43DE3 Motherboard
Sapphire HD 7850 2gb GDDR5 (stock OC ver)
Fatal1ty (OCZ) 550W modular PSU
Monitors 1920x1080/1024x768


Update: I just received another SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION while watching TV. Relevant minidump.
 
If you remove the HDD you just added do you still get the BSODs? If no, and you have no need to keep the XP installation, I would suggest you backup any files you have stored on that drive and then format the drive. If yes, then I would check the video card drivers. Did you uninstall the drivers for the previous video card before installing the new one? I'm not convinced, but I could be wrong, that it is related to the video card since the BSODs did not occur until you installed the second hard drive. You could also try the drive on another drive controller port and see if that makes a difference before you format the drive.
