Warning

Programs that claim to update your drivers install either the wrong or corrupted drivers.
If you have installed any driver with Driver Navigator, please remove them as it may cause trouble.

The Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver has been updated :)
How is it currently going?

Code:

1: kd> lmvm iastora
start             end                 module name

Yea, I figured that Driver Navigator would be a bad idea, so I didn't update any drivers. I'm currently not home right now, so I can't check my computer atm, but the computer was did not BSOD after a night of just idling with verifier on. Why would the Intel Rapid Storage Technology be required on my computer, that without it, it creates BSODs?

Intel Rapid Storage Technology mainly supports RAID configuration.
It increases the performance of the hard drives

Yes, I understand that it helps RAID configuration, and is related to the hard drives, but do you know why without it, it creates BSODs?

I can't say as I don't know what exactly happens.

Okay, I think i found out why the BSODs were happening.
Basically, the outdated IRST was causing BSODs in the first place, which I attempted to remove.
However, I did not uninstall IRST properly, causing BSODs, which is why computer has BSODs without IRST.
In order to solve the problem, I am just going to install the latest IRST, and see how it goes. If i get any BSODs over the next few days, then I will most likely return to this forum. If not, the problem is solved, and I will mark it as solved.
Either way, thank you so much axe0 for assisting me with my problem.
(The only other thing I do not understand is why my computer works fine with the main HDD removed, and IRST uninstalled improperly as well, but it does not matter really matter, and more of a curiosity of mine)
Once again, thank you so much axe0 for dealing with me and with my problem.

You're most welcome :)

Please let me know how it goes.

When you have only an SSD, IRST is not needed.
If you have HDD + SSD, IRST is appearently needed in your case.

That makes some sense, thank you.
