I recently replaced my old laptop's HD with a new SSD. I wanted to use the HD as a second storage drive for my PC. I tried booting from the laptop HD once (did not work). So, I just booted from my SSD (while having the laptop HD connected) and retrieved some old files. However, I started facing frequent crashes (started when using chrome and now just when I use the computer for a while).

I cannot think of any way the 2 drives could have swapped crucial files between eachother. Can you suggest me some solutions?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
 
Solution
Have you tried to verify the system files to make sure they have not become corrupted?

from administrators command prompt type without quotes and press enter " SFC/Scannow "

if this finds errors it can not fix on its own you can run the following command without quotes " dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth " for this one you need to be connected to the internet for it to get the files you need.

I tried doing that. But, it doesn't narrow down the driver:

On Tue 3/7/2017 11:06:10 AM your computer crashed
crash dump file: C:\Windows\Minidump\030717-4352-01.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: ntoskrnl.exe (nt+0x70400)
Bugcheck code: 0xF4 (0x3, 0xFFFFFA8007C46B10, 0xFFFFFA8007C46DF0, 0xFFFFF800031E1B70)
Error: CRITICAL_OBJECT_TERMINATION
file path: C:\Windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe
product: Microsoft® Windows® Operating System
company: Microsoft Corporation
description: NT Kernel & System
Bug check description: This indicates that a process or thread crucial to system operation has unexpectedly exited or been terminated.
This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem. This problem might also be caused because of overheating (thermal issue).
The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver that cannot be identified at this time.

Thanks for all the answers. The issues stopped after I deleted all files copied from old hard drive.
I cannot see how that fixed it (these were regular software files, nothing to do with drivers/OS) but it worked.
