i have a strange problem. When i want to change the power plan on my laptop from High performance to Balanced, Windows freezes and i get bsod. The power plan settings are all default.

Laptop specs:
- Intel Core i3 330M/350M
- Intel® HM55 Express Chipset
- DDR3 1066 MHz SDRAM 8GB
- ATI Mobility™ Radeon HD5730 1GB DDR3 VRAM
- Intel SSD330 128gb
- Windows 7 Home premium

I've searched the internets but couldnt find a similar issue. BSOD first started when i installed this SSD and stopped when i've updated the chipset controller driver then started again yesterday when i wanted to change the power settings plan.Minidump file here.

Any help with this weird issue appriciated, thanks.


Edit:
- i've ran Memory diagnostic tool,
- Intel SSD diagnostics
- and updated the firmware to 3.2.1.

Non of these steps worked or shown signs of errors - but still got BSOD when changing power plan settings.

After analizing the dump file via osronline.com here a first few lines:
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: fffffa8008661b30, Terminating object Arg3: fffffa8008661e10, Process image file name Arg4: fffff800033de270, Explanatory message (ascii)

Provided by Vinayak: After installing the Intel Rapid storage Technology from MajorGeeks, i didn't experience a BSOD since, thank you :)
