I recently bought 1Tb western digital hard drive from amazon. And every time I install windows 8 and my Netgear WNA3100 cd. Then once I finish I click on Internet Explorer and after 2 downloads ( Chrome and Steam) I get a bsod: Critical Service Failed.
Specs:
1TB Western Digital
Toshiba My passport 1tb external drive
R7 250 2gb
Msi Motherboard
16gb DDR3 Kingston Blue Ram
500GB Toshiba

Give these a try and let me know how it goes! :) Good luck!
