    Laptop frequently BSODing after installing SSD


    Okay, so a few weeks ago I decided my laptop HDD was way too slow for human use so I upgraded to a SSD; now after doing a clean install of Windows 3 times it continues to crash frequently.
    -Laptop: HP Pavillion DV6 3080tx
    -OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64 Retail
    -SSD: Intel 520 128GB

    -BSODs with error 0x000000f4
    -BSODs usually 5-10 minutes after startup (including when in safe mode)
    -Tried doing a clean install 3 times now but it won't stop
    -Tried updating firmware for SSD but MoBo won't recognise the firmware bood disc as anything useful when I boot from the DVD drive
    -BlueScreenView says driver ntskrnl.exe is the driver behind it

    Please help!

    One of the 3 files necessary for windows continue crashed in virtually all of these. I would run a system file check to verify (and hopefully repair) the OS files. I would also run a malwarebytes scan just to rule that out.

    SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

    How to use the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files on Windows Vista or on Windows 7


    Please download the free version of Malwarebytes.
    Update it immediately.
    Do a full system scan
    Let us know the results at the end.
