Cloning SSD led to memory failure.
Cloning SSD led to memory failure.
Hello, I received a new 2TB SSD and decided to use it as the main drive. I cloned everything from my previous 500GB drive without any issues. But when I tried booting from the new SSD, it kept crashing with a MEMORY_FAILURE error. I also booted from the old drive, but the same problems occurred. Eventually, I reset the drive, but it got stuck at around 8% for over an hour. After that, I removed one memory stick and everything worked fine. The system became stable, though I can't install a second stick now. Whenever I try to insert another stick, it crashes within a minute, no matter which slot I use. I've also swapped the RAM modules, but they only work together, not individually. It's been just three weeks since I built this PC, and everything was functioning perfectly until then. I have MCR enabled but disabled EXPO for now. Any advice would be appreciated. I'm considering reinstalling Windows to check if that's the issue.

Likely the file is damaged due to cloning. If it functions, save the necessary data and install a fresh Windows version on the 2 TB storage.
The issue isn't related to cloning or Windows; your system appears unstable possibly due to faulty RAM, a bad port, or a misaligned CPU. I wouldn't rely on a cloned version until the hardware is fixed. Re-cloning after stabilization is advised.
