    Very frequent BSoDs - iastorA.sys and ntoskrnl.exe related


    Hi,
    I've been getting a lot of BSoDs lately. I'm getting BSoD VERY often, which is very frustrating.. I've been trying to find what the problem is, but no result at all.
    Please help me find the roots of the problem and help me fix it?
    Thanks a lot!

    Welcome to SevenForums
    1. If you have a SSD, make sure the firmware is up-to-date
    Upload a screenshot of your hard disk using CrystalDiskInfo:
    2. McAfee: McAfee is a frequent cause of BSOD-s, consider uninstalling it with the McAfee Removal Tool and replace with Microsoft Security Essentials (To test)


    3. Microsoft Security Essentials.
    Recommended from a strict BSOD perspective, compatibility & stability compared to other antiviruses/internet security software. It is free and lightweight:-
       Warning
    Do not start the free trial of Malware Bytes; remember to deselect that option when prompted.

    Run a full scan with both (separately) once downloaded, installed and updated.
    4. Perform a System File Check:
    1. Click on the start
    2. Type CMD on Search
    3. Left click and Run as Administrator
    4. Type SFC /scannow

    Full tutorial here:

    5. Disk Check on your hard drive for file system errors and bad sectors on it:


    6. Make scans with the following:

    -Kaspersky TDSSKiller


    -ESET online scanner

    7. Reduce items at start-up. Nothing except anti-virus is required:
    Let us know if this helps and further BSOD reports.

    Click on the start button, type Device Manager, on the entries that appear, click on device manager, go to the section that lists disk drives and expand it, right click on your SSD and select properties, click on the detail tab, you will see a drop down box there, click on the drop down box and select the 2nd entry, Hardware IDs. it will show the model of the SSD and some numbers at the end. The numbers at the end is the firmware on your SSD. Go to the manufacturers web site and find the latest firmware update and see if it is later than yours. They will tell you how to update it. this is my firmware CXMO3B1Q

    There may or may not be firmware updates for your SSD, But, Samsung SSDs usually come with a Samsung Magician program that is supposed to find if there are updates, among several other things.
