Okay, so I have got bluescreen of death twice because somehow my boot options got randomly switched around ( I did not do it ) So when i restart I have to enter the bios and change boot option #1 back to the SDD windows is installed on. It has done this twice. However there is a similarity in the two occasions. Whenever I was recording Gameplay with my HDPVR ( I record it to my newly installed HDD ) It happens. I think it has something to do with the Hard drive options or something, because i believe it only happens when a lot of info is going onto that second hard drive. Any thoughts on how to make it stop?

Note: The recording software is usually already running for at least 20-30 minutes, so its not instant

No, during the BSOD. Disable automatic reboots after a BSOD if needed.

The most important Blue Screen of Death troubleshooting step you can take is to ask yourself what you just did.

1) Did you just install a new program or a piece of hardware, update a driver, install an update, etc.? If so, there's a very good chance that the change you made caused the BSOD:
Startup using Last Known Good Configuration to undo recent registry and driver changes.
Use System Restore to undo recent system changes.
Roll Back device driver to version prior to your driver update.

2) Scan your computer for viruses. Some viruses can cause a Blue Screen of Death, especially ones that infect the master boot record (MBR) or boot sector.

3) Update drivers for your hardware. Most Blue Screens of Death are hardware or driver related so updated drivers could fix the cause of the STOP error.

4) Return hardware settings to default in Device Manager. Unless you have a specific reason to do so, the system resources that an individual piece of hardware is configured to use in Device Manager should be set to default. Non-default hardware settings have been known to cause a Blue Screen of Death.

5) Return BIOS settings to their default levels. An overclocked or misconfigured BIOS can cause all sorts of random issues, including BSODs.

If the problem still exists then follow this procedure::
First of all you need to update all yor drivers and install all windows updates from
windows update and scan your computer for virusis!

And i also suggest you to run CMD as administrator and write in cmd sfc/scannow
And after that in CMD run chkdsk /f and then chkdsk /r you will need to scan it on next
reboot so press Y!
