Four BSODs in the past 20 minutes ?

 I've had four BSODs in the past 20 mins or so, and I have a feeling it's my USB HDD, but it happened when it was unplugged. It could also have been my M.2 SSD enclosure which was still plugged in but I don't know.

    Every BSOD provides an error code that can help identify the cause of the crash. When your computer restarts after a BSOD, take note of the error code (e.g., CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED, MEMORY_MANAGEMENT, etc.). You can also find BSOD logs in the Event Viewer or through the C:\Windows\Minidump folder, which contains the crash dump files.
