BSOD on boot after successful Windows 7 installation

[jaswmck]

Hi,

I'm trying to install Windows 7 on a 1TB USB hard drive with Win2USB. The installation completes successfully, but once I reboot and Windows starts to load, I get a BSOD. I've tried the following scenarios:

1. Installation from Windows 7 DVD
2. Installation from existing Windows 7 hard drive
3. Changing to another USB HDD casing
4. Booting up in safe mode

In all scenarios I'm getting BSOD upon booting up.

Here's the BSOD

What's wrong?

Does it matter if the device can't be pinned down?

Is USB 3 involved in any way in the process?  If so, that is probably the cause. Others may explain derails.
