Windows 7 freezes while working after cloning hdd to a bigger one

[tonitoni123]

After cloning my hdd to a bigger hdd, my Windows 7 laptop sometimes freezes completely, having to force shut down the laptop. I've read the Event Logs, and the only error I see is something like "Shutdown was not expected", which I think relates to the force shut down.

Before doing this my laptop would never freeze. I suspect it is due to the cloning, as I've previously encountered such problems when using cloning.

might be due to cloning...but event viewer logs no problem.

you can backup all your necessary files and documents and make a clean install of the os.

keep an eye on the temps and processor usage

It could also be down to a fault in the hard disk. Is it new and does it come from a manufacturer which has testing tools - Seatools from Seagate as an example?.
