iastor.sys BSOD, Stop 0x0000007E...
Hello All,
I am new to this forum so I hope I can explain everything well. I will not be able to attach the required dump files to this thread and I will explain below. Here is my problem:
I have a relatively new Toshiba Laptop u845w-s400 and about a week ago started getting the following BSOD:
Stop 0x0000007E (0xc0000005 0x8145B450 0x82DC8BB4 0x82DC8790)
iastor.sys 8145B450 base at 8142A000 date stamp 4e6fffb2
I tried updating the system BIOS and that did not help. I then updates the intel RAID drivers and that also did not help. I tried running tdsskiller.exe and other malware tools and they did not find anything nor did that help. I tried running chkdsk and that did not help. At that point I tried to use the Toshiba recovery tools with the boot disk that I got with the laptop. I could not get far enough to fix anything before getting the BSOD again. I tried that several times before trying to erase the hard disk from the recover tools. I will run all the way to the end and BSOD at 99% either with quick erase or full. I then downloaded the Win7 iso and created a Win7 boot DVD so I could do a clean install of windows since now I do not have a bootable computer after the failed hard drive erase. At first Win7 could not see my HDD's so I downloaded some drivers to reference during install. I can then see the drives, so I deleted then in the Win7 install process and then formatted them and created new, but when I go to perform the clean install I get the iastor.sys BSOD before I reach 1% on "expanding Windows files". I can't do anything without getting the BSOD and I cannot find anymore things to try on the net so I am at my wits end with this new laptop.
Does anyone have any ideas???? I would hate to spend $$ to have it fixed when I recently just bought it... I would greatly appreciate any help. Thank you.....
