    Make it sure that both your SSDs(Intel and SanDisk) are running with latest firmwares.

    Take special care to the SanDisK one, as windows is installed on it.

    Daemon Tools, Alcohol 120% and Power Archiver Pro uses SCSI Pass Through Direct (SPTD), which is a well known BSOD causer. Uninstall Daemon Tools at first. Then download SPTD standalone installer from Disk-Tools.com, and execute the downloaded file as guided below :

    • Double click to open it.
    • Click this button only:
    • If it is grayed out, as in the picture, there is no more SPTD in your system, and you just close the window.
    Free up the startup. Windows does not need any other program to auto start with it, but the auto start programs often conflicts and causes various problems including BSODs.

    1. Click on the Start button
    2. Type “msconfig (without quotes), click the resulting link. It will open the System Configuration window.
    3. Select the “Startup” tab.
    4. Deselect all items other than the antivirus.
    5. Apply > OK
    6. Accept then restart.
    Let us know the results.

    Done as listed bellow - didnt worked
    But now when my pc crashes, sceen turns green/pink and not black, lol.
    Windows is installed on "smartbuy" ssd, not sandisc one. This problem can be caused by using VGA monitor?

    It is possible but I would think it is the graphics card. See if you can boot into safe mode (Safe Mode). If so, run the BSOD Posting instructions again (Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions), and make sure your drivers are installed. Also, please add your PSU to 'My System Specs" at the bottom left of your last post. Go into BIOS and give me the values for your +12V, +5V and +3.3V. See if you can try another graphics card. If you have access to another one, or try to borrow one from a friend or someone, just to try for a day or so. That may answer your questions about the cause.

    It is usually in BIOS under monitor or something like that where it shows fan speeds and temps.

    I need you to get some programs to monitor your CPU and GPU temps.

    Also, what PSU do you have? The Manufacturer and Model and Wattage and Amperage.

    @ of you last few dump files were

    Code:
    CRITICAL_OBJECT_TERMINATION (f4)
    A process or thread crucial to system operation has unexpectedly exited or been
    terminated.
    Several processes and threads are necessary for the operation of the
    system; when they are terminated (for any reason), the system can no
    longer function.
    Arguments:
    Arg1: 0000000000000003, Process
    Arg2: fffffa80082e5950, Terminating object
    Arg3: fffffa80082e5c30, Process image file name
    Arg4: fffff800031d4b80, Explanatory message (ascii)
    A code F4 is usually a hard drive error that is why we asked you to make sure your SSD firmware was up to date. If you were not provided tools to check the health of your SSDs, you are going to have to try an install on another hard drive with these installed.
