Turn off LPM:
To turn of LPM (Link Power Management) on the SSD, you have to open IRST (Intel Rapid Storage Technology) and disable it. NOTE: this option will increase system stability but will also decrease battery life, it's a trade off.
1. Open IRST from your Start menu under "Intel" and "Intel Rapid Storage Technology" OR from your system tray (see screen shot below) by right clicking on IRST icon and choosing open
2. In IRST, go to the "Performance" tab up top
3. For "Link Power Management" (LPM), click "disable"
4. Restart
After that the lockups and crashes should stop.
