When I copy large files like Top Gear from my Western Digital Passport portable hard drive onto my computer's, sometimes it seizes up into the BSOD and shows up as a Machine Check Exception error. Any idea on why this keeps happening?
 
Machine Check Exceptions are pretty vague. Moar details pls.
 
Only from your external HDD, or does copying files from other sources do it as well? What about copying a file on the laptop's hard drive itself?
