Windows 7 BSOD when changing power plan
- by dd5
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)

Several processes and threads are necessary for the operation of the
