Rare and random BSODs, new SSD
I had some BSODs recently and I'm wondering why. I'm almost certain that it's a driver problem so I turned on the driver verifier. Also, I'm going to run the memtest overnight (I ran a short 6 min test without errors, but that's certainly not enough)
This is a gamer laptop, but I'm constantly monitoring the temps and it's all under control, especially because the BSODs didn't happen while playing (high GPU temp). Moreover it has been dusted 2-3 weeks ago, when I installed a Samsung 840 SSD which has been working flawlessly AFAIK.
I never use anti-virus, but now I installed Microsoft Security Essentials and there haven't been any infections.
Please let me know if I'm missing some relevant info. I hope you have some guess what could cause the
problem.

Update
--------
I've been running the driver verifier and I had two BSODs while trying to update the GPU driver, so I disabled it and I could update it properly.
The WhoCrashed software keeps telling me that it's the ataport.sys, and I also get a 300MB memory dump in C:/Windows/.
When I got the SSD I've been using a software provided by Samsung that has cloned the OS from my HDD. Maybe that's the problem?
I really really hope so it's not the new SSD that is causing trouble.
Thank you,
Tamás
