It is your direct issue, and to get rid of it, see here: How to Revert the Win7 1394ohci.sys to the Legacy Driver
Or you may install a firewire card.

But, you need to Free up the startup , too.

Click on the Start button
Type “msconfig (without quotes), click the resulting link. It will open the System Configuration window.
Select the “Startup” tab.
Deselect all items other than the antivirus.
Apply > OK
Accept the restart.

Let us know the results.

I have completed above. Had to reselect some startup items, particularly keyboard/mouse, and backup. I still cannot shutdown or restart. It begins shutdown then freezes for some time. It will eventually crash. Can anyone help me with that problem? websearches seem to only bring up software apps.

Still having BSOD crashes, and the inability to shutdown. When I attempt to shutdown, it seems to get to the point of switching off the HDD, but then hangs until I do a hard shutdown. Here's the latest SF data.

The uploaded zip contains nothing more than a folder

oops! something went wrong.

Will try again. Thanks for letting me know.

Before uploading, check what you are uploading actually.

I tried to examine the attachment after uploading it, but couldn't unzip it for some reason. Now it doesn't even appear on the message. Will try again now. Please let me know the outcome.

Here's a new folder, as it seems the old post may have had two sets of files.

Hi folks. Am having problems with BSOD again. Still having problem with failure to shutdown. Here is todays SF diagnostic. Looks as if I am having some problem with Memeo Premium Backup (to external USB3 hard drive H). But there are probably other issues.

Marvell storage controllers. Always problematic, and it is very old here.

Intel RST is also very old here.

Code:

Download and install this version of Intel RST.

It is a desktop PC. Hibernate is not anything must for at, as it uses power from external source, not battery based. You can disable hibernate, and you should do it. Follow Hibernate - Enable or Disable.

Free up the startup.

Click on the Start button
Type “msconfig (without quotes), click the resulting link. It will open the System Configuration window.
Select the “Startup” tab.
Deselect all items other than the antivirus.
Apply > OK
Accept then restart.

Uninstall this program.

Code:

Start Menu\Programs\Spybot - Search & Destroy

It has compatibility issues with windows 7, in many a cases.

Also, if MacDrive is not the most essential, uninstall it. The mechanism to read a different file system may also cause some HDD\SSD malfunctioning.
