Why does Windows 10 crash

Software problem

Windows software is divided into kernel and application layers. A problem with the kernel software can cause the system to crash and a BSOD page to appear. A system crash occurs during the use of the disk cloning software.

The reason may be that the kernel driver of the cloning software has logical errors, the system does not allow operations, and the system only stops working and displays a BSOD screen. Most disk cloning software has its own kernel driver to complete the cloning task. When installing the disk cloning software with the kernel device driver, the system will also enter an unstable state.

WittyTool DiskClone is a disk cloning software without its own kernel driver, which makes the Windows system as stable as it was before installing this software. WittyTool DiskClone is a free disk cloning software. It can be downloaded and used for free.

Hardware problem

Hardware problems are another cause of crashes in Windows systems. The hardware problems that can cause a system crash during the disk cloning process are mainly bad sectors of the disk. When a bad sector is read, the disk cannot read the sector data normally, and has been trying to retry, causing the system to freeze, and a BSOD page will appear after a long time. Once a bad sector occurs on the disk, it is recommended to replace the disk immediately to avoid further damage caused by reuse of the disk, resulting in the entire disk being unreadable and causing all data loss.

How to replace a bad disk

Insert the new hard disk and clone the old disk to the new one with disk cloning software. The system is damaged, and it may not be possible to install and use disk cloning software within the Windows system. This is where you need to make a bootable WinPE to clone the disk. How to create WinPE in WittyTool DiskClone.

After cloning is complete, remove the disk and the new disk can be used normally. If it is a system disk, set the new disk as the boot disk in the BIOS.

Clone disk with bad sectors via WittyTool DiskClone

WittyTool DiskClone specifically provides the “skip bad sector” function, which clones all sector data as much as possible, while also avoiding stressing the disk, skipping bad sectors instead of trying to read bad sector data. Refer to the bad sector cloning method.
