    New build, 3 BSODs in 3 days.


    Hello all, first time posting.

    3 BSODs seemingly at random, even after installing all the Windows Update stability fixes.

    Windows 7 pro
    Intel 3930k
    Gigabyte GA-X79-UP4
    16GB DDR3
    GTX670


    Thank you.

    Welcome to SF :) .

    Your bugchecks point towards your chipset driver:
    Code:
    DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (d1)
    
    Arguments:
    Arg1: 0000000000000000, memory referenced
    Arg2: 0000000000000002, IRQL
    Arg3: 0000000000000000, value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation
    Arg4: fffff880018ce0d2, address which referenced memory
    • An attempt was made to access a pageable (or completely invalid) address at an
      interrupt request level (IRQL) that is too high. This is usually
      caused by drivers using improper addresses.



    The Stack:
    Code:
    fffff880`03a86a48  fffff880`012ac0de iaStorA+0x650de
    fffff880`03a86a78  fffff880`01249405 iaStorA+0x2405
    fffff880`03a86ab8  fffff880`012aaaa8 iaStorA+0x63aa8
    fffff880`03a86af8  fffff880`012b1bec iaStorA+0x6abec
    fffff880`03a86c58  fffff880`012acc2c iaStorA+0x65c2c





    We can use the lmvm command to get more information about the driver:
    Code:
    9: kd> lmvm iaStorA
    start             end                 module name
    fffff880`01247000 fffff880`018cd000   iaStorA  T (no symbols)           
        Loaded symbol image file: iaStorA.sys
        Image path: \SystemRoot\system32\DRIVERS\iaStorA.sys
        Image name: iaStorA.sys
        Timestamp:        Tue Aug 07 18:43:10 2012 (5021378E)
    The driver is pretty old.

    Update Intel drivers using this online utility.




    Update your SSD's firmware.



    Update your Marvell SATA controller.


    Update with the results!

    Hi YoYo.

    I updated the Marvell SATA controller.
    Samsung Magician said the SSD firmware is up to date.
    The Intel Driver Update Utility said Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility (Chipset INF) was valid. Only the wired networking Intel(R) 82579LM based Network Controller(OEM) needed to be updated.

    I guess now we play the waiting game and see if it still BSODs

    Thank you.

    That's right :) .
    If it does bugcheck again, upload a new instance of the .zip the SFDT creates.

    Keep posting updates :) .

    Intel smart response technology is again the cause of this issue,
    what kind of a RAID setup do you have?

    Follow this tutorial carefully in-order to convert the RAID setup back to basic disks.




    Remove the Gigabyte utilities as they known to cause incompatibility issues
    with Windows 7:

    Code:
    Programs\GIGABYTE\3TB+Unlock
    Programs\GIGABYTE\DMIView
    Programs\GIGABYTE\ET6
    Programs\GIGABYTE\SmartRecovery2
    Programs\GIGABYTE\UpdManager

    Okay I uninstalled the listed Gigabyte utilities.

    I don't have a RAID setup, all the drives types are listed as basic in Disk Management. Should I just uninstall Intel rapid storage tech as well?

    Yes unisntalling it will be preferable, although you're also using a BETA version of your BIOS
    which enables it. If uninstalling the software doesn't help we would have to flash the BIOS
    to a previous version.

    Keep updating :) .

    Just crashed again, so I've uninstalled the Intel rapid storage tech now.

    Here is another SFDT. I only installed the beta bios because I couldn't get into the bios with the older one and other people said it worked for them.
