    multiple BSOD caused by ntoskrnl.exe


    Hello, a month or so ago (just couple of months after I bought a new PC, pretty decent\expensive for my country) I started to experience a lot of BSODs, only at the time I started any game or any video file. Sometimes I could play for 3-4 hours or watch a video, sometimes it crashes 1-2minutes after I start a game. It works fine while I keep browsing internet in Mozilla though. First I thought my main drive - SSD crashed - we unplugged it and tried to work on my older HDDs (which I kept from my old PC). Same problem. We re-installed Windows multiple times, it kept showing the problem. Usually it does not start right after some new action was taken - like If I change HDD and install a new windows here, a day, two, maybe 3 it works ok with no BSODs at all. BlueScreenView shows mostly always (cant recon a different result) a problem with ntoskrnl.exe.
    Once I thought my memory was an issue, but 4-5 circles of Memtest86 didn't show any problems at all.
    I run the latest drivers for my graphics card (nvidia geforce gtx 560 ti) and I don't know wheter my video card can cause the problem. What I know is thats its definetely not the HDD or probably my memory, so I can only think about motherboard or graphics card problems.
    And to be clear at first my PC just got stuck in games and I had to reboot it, sometimes graphics in games crashed (like flashing, or everything was very smooth(blur), sorry for my english), and a week or two after it started to give me BSOD all the time in games\videos. I used Win7 driver verifier and as expected everything was clear.
    I'm not good at technical side of the issue but getting a little bit desperate to find a solution I decided to ask for help from the pro's, here are my dumps of BlueScreenView:

    Minidumps have been created they are referenced in your copy/paste logs there.
    Could you follow these.

    Sorry I didn't forget you I just keep strange hours these days.
    The problem appears to be caused by the intel storage driver.
    You can find an update for that driver here.
    http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Deta...adType=Drivers

    Give that a chance, if you get a bsod after applying that update please upload the new minidump file created by it. (c:\windows\minidump)
    As all the current dumps are pointing to the storage driver I can't tell if there are any other problems.
    Hopefully once the driver is updated/repaired you will either experience no more crashes or the bug report will change allowing me to see what else is going on.

    Code:
    Probably caused by : iaStor.sys ( iaStor+2cdb1 )

    Ok, three days it worked close to perfect way. Today I decided to plug my SSD back to my PC(i was working on my old hdd) but I couldnt.. first system didnt see it,than PC didn't load at all..so I unplugged it and decided to work some time more on my old HDD to find solutions.. Later on today the system hardly started (once every five times, other times the window got stuck on "starting windows" picture) and now I get completely new bsod, it was saying something about iastor.sys driver or something like that, so I'm at a loss now.. could this be a total motherboard failure and I'll need to replace it..I'm trying to handle this myself because my vendor says it should take about a week to diagnose my PC.
    Here is a dump from bluescreenview (i also attached it).

    iastor.sys is the intel rapid storage drivers.

    I would reinstall them, it would appear something went screwy when you plugged in the ssd.

    but generally,what could be the problem of the bsod which I'm facing so often.. This PC cost me $1,5k excluding monitor and I can't enjoy using it.. well, its hell a lot for my country and I want this resolved coz I'm very annoyed with my PC and I feel scared when I start using it to see another bsod lol :).
    Should something be replaced? I'm planning to switch to Win XP 64bit maybe,but as far as I understand the problem is not in Win version but in hardware(motherboard?) ?

    P.S. I installed these drivers right after I got your message few days ago, so I got my last bsod (and another one while I was writing my previous post) having these drivers installed on my PC...

    I don't know what to tell you it's still the named driver in every crash dump you have.
