RST control panel options - maybe there's some setting in here to be changed? 6 screenshots, zipped.
I think, start at 1:24 of the video. It looks like he changes this

That is screen 3 in your photos
But it looks like you have the iRST screen. I believe he had the IRST control panel. He is disabling Acceleration on the SSD and enabling it on the Hard Drive.
Yep, I watched the video after I uploaded the screenshots. That is exactly where I make the changes. So, first I went into the BIOS and toggled IRST, then I made the changes in the RST control panel. Rebooted - seemed like something was definitely happening because it took quite a long time for everything to settle down on the desktop. I am in the OS now, waiting....patiently....LOL
15 minutes and it's still up. WU installed one update - I think it has to do with compatibility for W10. It's waiting for a reboot, but I delayed it for 4 hours.
So I have just finished reading this thread
BSOD referencing iaStor.sys. Running Win 7, 64-bit.
I am beginning to HATE Intel! LOL
(crossing fingers....) will report back....maybe I will try burning the Macrium Rescue ISO (again...)
I have used IRST on every Intel computer I have ever owned and never had a problem with it (knock on wood). However, some people it gives them fits, just like your case. I have absolutely no idea why, unless it could be some sort of software/driver conflict. You may do OK with it if the Rapid Start software is uninstalled. I don't know.
No idea why this is such a problem.
It's been on for one hour now, although that means nothing - it's so random.
I plugged in the external HDD and it's wanting to do a chkdsk on it - not sure if this is related or not - so, if it blue screens during this, will it bork the external HDD?
It could very well. Stopping check disk, once started, can corrupt the data on the drive. You can run it at boot and press a key to stop it from running.
