    Its a problem with your SSD. That BSOD error says the laptop loses the connection with the SSD. Try updating the firmware for your SSD.

    Check these steps to fix it. You can also try downloading WhoCrashed or bluescreenview and letting us know what the program said about the file that caused it and the bug check code.
