I have not run into such issues myself.  However, it is within the realm
of possibility.  What version of Windows  (and what version of NTFS ---
is it native to that version of Windows, or has Windows ever been
upgraded on that system from one version to the next)?

What does the BSOD say?

Depends on what the BSOD says.

You can try mounting it on the command line, but before you do so, check
dmesg to see what the system is complaining about.
