I had installed wd i tb harddrive instead of old 500gb with service pack 3. now it all works fine. but for last 2-3 days it suddenly shows bluescreen warning for a second and then reboots and than works fine. sometimes for 4-5 hours nothing happens. It happens so fast that I can't read the blue screen warning. it appears and pc reboots. and then everything works fine. there is no problem. I had service pack 2 first and it never happened . the new hard drive is working fine too. My antivirus is secure too. Is there a security feature in service pack 3 which makes it does so or anything else. how can I identify the problem
 
Hello... all my experience with Windows BSOD is because of a loss of communications of hardware, through your MB, as seen to the OS. Find a Loose connector/pin, Power/Data connector or Hardware device causing it.
Try removing hardware/connectors for a minimum of things connected for Windows to boot and tested with just those devices... start adding a piece at a time till the BSOD returns.
1) Sound chip and Lan on the MB is also a "Hardware Device" disable in BIOs
2) CD/DVD is a "Hardware Device"
3) HD/SSD is a "Hardware Device"
4) Look very close to all your Pins on all your Power connectors for a pushed out pin/loose connection.
5) use some rubbing alcohol to clean memory/Video card/Data connectors and re-insert.
6) remove your video card and use the onboard CPU/Video to determine if your Video card is causing it.

If possible Test Hardware in another computer and see if it causes a BSOD.

It's a tuff problem to find at times but stay calm and be Logical about your work and testing methods.

thanks. but now I have noticed that it happens mostly when I try to either close or maximize or minimize google chrome. may be it is just a coincidence. but I doubt it might be a reason.
