    Any help is much appreciated!

    Hi robbie26 and welcome,

    Firstly can you please update to Windows Service Pack 1, which will help stabalise your system and also please ensure you have all Windows updates installed :)

    Your 3 crashes are related to:

    IMAGE_NAME: storport.sys

    A windows update may well fix this issue.

    Also please update your Intel RST (Rapid Storage Technology) driver, which can be found here:

    http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Default.aspx

    Click on Continue underneath where it says:

    Automatically scan your system for up-to-date drivers and install them quickly.
    And it should find the correct drivers for you.

    Cheers

    Dave

    Thank you for the help Dave.

    I installed SP1 and installed all Windows updates.

    I also installed the latest IRST driver.

    Hi robbie,

    Can you post a new crash dump please.

    I think also some errors are caused by code corruption in the following Windows driver, not
    sure what caused this so far:


    fffff960`00070000 fffff960`0037f000 win32k (deferred)
    Image path: \SystemRoot\System32\win32k.sys
    Image name: win32k.sys
    Timestamp: unavailable (00000000)
    CheckSum: 00000000
    ImageSize: 0030F000


    Please run SFC to check the integrity of all Windows 7 system files:

    Click on the Start > Type in search cmd
    Right click cmd at top and Run as Administrator
    Type SFC /scannow at the prompt

    https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1538-sfc-scannow-command-system-file-checker.html


    You may be asked for original setup CD to replace any corrupted files.

    Cheers

    Dave

    Here's the dump file.

    Running SFC scan right now.

    Thanks for the new logs.

    Please also ensure all your drivers are up-to-date and the latest release as you have many out-of-date as far back as July 2008.

    Installing and updating drivers in 7

    Drivers for your motherboard you can find here:

    http://support.asus.com/Download.asp...9+PRO&p=1&s=42

    Here just one example:

    Image path: \??\C:\Program Files (x86)\Corsair\CorsairLink 2\WinRing0x64.sys
    Image name: WinRing0x64.sys

    I just updated my Samsung SSD firmware through Samsung's Magician software 2 days ago, so it should be the most current.


    I found this post yesterday. I uninstalled my RSTe driver in favor of the 3.1.0.1085 version and haven't had a BSOD in over 24 hours. Before it consistenly BSOD'd every 6-12 hours. I'm going to keep running my machine for the next 12-24 hours and if I get another BSOD I will use the SF Diagnostic tool and post the results.

    You both are very generous with your time and energy. Thank you so much.
