BSOD Playing Runescape, Error 0x00007e?

Hi WindSailor.

koolkat77 wanted me to say it to you ..... that you need a clean install.

The issue is caused by Intel Rapid Storage, iaStor.sys.

Code:

BugCheck 1000007E, {ffffffffc0000005, fffff88001064768, fffff880039af868, fffff880039af0c0}

Probably caused by : iaStor.sys ( iaStor+49768 )

IRST drivers are always problematic. An update to it will not provide a long lasting solution. So the Best is to remove this driver.

But theoretically it is not possible in particularly your case, as it is used as SCSI (for the 8GB FFS drive). You need to boot into the BIOS > Advanced settings. Change the storage controller mode to either AHCI or SATA/IDE whichever is available. Disable Intel Rapid Storage. Disable Intel Smart Response or anything similar.

When done, you will not be able to boot back to windows. Because windows can boot only with the storage controller mode present on which it is installed (with one exceptional case, changing from IDE to AHCI). And we changed the storage controller on purpose, to disable IRST.

Now perform a clean reinstall.

Unfortunately, there is no other way to keep the computer stable over a reasonably long time. Update to IRST may work for a couple of weeks, but will not give a permanent solution.
