I think the issue can be counted as solved now. No more BSODs after installing NVIDIA driver from laptop vendor ASUS. 

Thank you all for help.

I hope this thread will help to other people too.

I can't mark my Answer - as the Answer for the Question. So i only renamed the 1st post.

    Yes i have daemon tools free edition.  But i have noticed that in a first week of use of my laptop (when i had HDD) there were  no BSODs. So first i wanna wait for first BSOD or i hope i will have no more BSODs after firmware upgrade. And ill report here about solving of this issue. Else i will uninstall Daemon tools and continue searching with driver verivier.

    The verified one did indeed blame dtsoftbus01.sys and that is the driver for a virtuals drive like alcohol, or daemon tools.  Follow these to remove it

    Please remove any CD visualization programs such as Daemon Tools and Alcohol 120%.

    They use a driver, found in your dmp, called sptd.sys, that is notorious for causing BSODs.

    Use this SPTD uninstaller DuplexSecure

    when you're done you can use this Freeware:

    MagicISO Virtual CD/DVD-ROM (MagicDisc) in its place

    Yesterday new firmware 2.0 for my Vector 512 SSD was releasd. And i have updated my SSD successfully today. Lets see will it also help with my BSODs or no.

    Release Notes Firmware Update: Important Improvements since version 1.03.1

    • Fixed a corner case issue with firmware corruption after unexpected sudden power loss scenarios, which caused drives to no longer be recognized.
    • Improved SATA timings, which addresses intermittent detection issues on some platforms.
    • Improved compatibility with USB 3.0 enclosures.
    • Improved additional interoperability improvements for mobile platforms.
