Did you create the partition you did the install to smaller than the SSD; did the installer create the "System Reserved" partition or is the new install on a single partition?
You could be right re the SSD drive although from a quick look round google etc they cant be updated properly as Kingston don't provide firmware updates...only through Intel which don't work on all drives..!
Also I have just tried installing driver updates for Marvell 91xx and graphics card and windows install wont boot again even after system restore....never ever had this much trouble trying to set a system up..!
Try uninstalling each driver in error in Device Manager to see if it starts, then update those drivers.
I am starting to think maybe theres a problem with either the motherboard or memory or could it just be the SSD drives but seeing as im having so much trouble installing to a normal sat drive makes me wonder..!
how many sticks of memory do you have in your systen? back in the vista days i remember some could not install unless thay removed 2 sticks .then install and then put the sticks back in and it worked.not sure if it will help you or not but maybe try it and see.

Unplug all other drives and peripherals to try install.
Try installing to another HD/SSD.
Test your HD by running maker's diag/repair extended CD scan: HD Diagnostic
Remove all but 2gb or RAM to try install, swap your RAM, Test your RAM: RAM - Test with Memtest86+
