    FLTSRV.SYS causing BSOD


    This file comes from Acronis True image 2014. Whenever I insert an external storage device like a USB flash drive, I get a bsod claiming "no more irp stack locations." A crash minidump revealed fltsrv.sys as the culprit. So I renamed it, and the BSODs went away...except now my computer does not show external drives in the Windows file manager when they are inserted. I get the good "bing" sound, but the external USB drives won't show up.

    Of course when I rename fltsrv.sys.old back to it's original name, I can once again see my external USB storage devices...but the dreaded BSODs return.

    I wanted to ask here before calling Acronis support to see if anyone else had encountered (and fixed) this problem.

    If you post it following the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions, we can have a look.

    Solved by nuke option: I deleted Acronis TI 2014.

    Apparently Acronis takes over your system. I saw no cure in Acronis forums that leaves TI fully intact. Someone commented in a different forum that Acronis has a "non-public solution," and a person needs to contact them.

    I've used TI for years. Now I guess it's time to try Norton Ghost.

    If you want to have incremental backups, Macrium would be a very nice option. It is one backup tool that I never found to contribute to BSODs till date. But I noticed Ghost there.

    Thanks Arc, I'll take a look at it.
