Constant BSOD from iastorA.sys 0x10~7e or 0x10~7e

Try going into BIOS and just disable Intel Rapid Start.

I have done that - it doesn't help.

Do you want another collector log?

RST control panel options - maybe there's some setting in here to be changed? 6 screenshots, zipped.

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

Attachment 367287

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?
