Motherboard : ASRock Z87 Extreme 4
CPU : Intel I-5 4570 3.2 Ghz - upgraded the cooler to an aftermarket cooler Hyper EVO TX3.
Ram : 8GB
GPU : NVidia GeForce 750 Ti - upgraded to GTX970 EVGA ACS2 4GB SC2.
PSU : 530 ATCSx
Monitor : Samsung 32" HDTV 1920x1080
Case : Aerocool GT Black Edition ( http://www.skroutz.gr/s/4215130/Aerocool-GT-Black-Editi... )
Today, I got a new external hard drive, 2TB Intenso model, I moved some series there to clean up my space, while I was watching an episode of a tv show, suddenly everything froze for a moment, then blue screen appeared, it said it had to do it to prevent any damage and was talking about a new hardware installation problem.
Thing is, my computer was totally fine and good until today that I connected it with the brand new external hard drive, so, my question is, is that really the case? Can the external hard drive be considered a "new hardware" ? If yes, is it possible something gone wrong? The device seems that it's still working though, and I don't know what happened or how bad or screwed I am atm....PC restarted itself in a moment and everything seems ok now.
I know, I know, I should get worried about blue screen of death, is my computer really going to end?
