    Hey Axe0

    So far the CPU test has not failed, but I have cancelled it and IŽll kick it off later. What I have found are Intel blogs saying that the Intel Matrix Storage Manager (iastor.sys v8.9) was problematic and it was eventually replaced by the Intel Rapid Storage Technology as per link you sent on ealrier

    However v14 version available did not install, and fell over with an error. I found another blog that redirected me Intel RST v9.6. This installed fine and no issues after a restart. I am just about to kick off driver verifier on iastor.sys and see if I get the BSOD. If that is fine after a few hours IŽll run verifier on all non MS drivers just to be sure

    IŽll keep you posted but first and foremost have a good Friday!!!

    I was already wondering if the driver was the Matrix or the Rapid since I don't know when Intel changed it.

    and of course you too a good friday

    Cheers axe! Yeah it's an odd one and if the Rapid driver works i don't know why it is not listed on the acer and model page. Matrix v8 is the latest they have to download! Waut and see! Have a good one!!!!

    Hi Axe0, just a quick update

    No further BSODŽs on the iastor.sys driver after the upgrade to Intel RST

    However, further testing thereafter targeting all non MS drivers, BSODŽs re-occured. On investigation it is the igdkmd32.sys driver which is associated with the Intel Chipset graphics driver that caused the latest BSOD

    According to Acer and Intel site I have the latest driver. So I uninstalled it completely, restarted laptop, and installed the driver provided by Acer, same file, version, date etc as before

    No further BSODŽs on the igdkmd32.sys file when targeted using verifier, and furthermore, verrifier was running against all non MS drivers for the last 4 hours and there have been no BSOD

    I think I have done all I can here in relation to software and drivers. So I will put this to the test, leave the laptop cold for a few days, power up and see what happend.

    I noticed andother thing the Acer does not wake up after sleep. Activity on the HDD, activity on keypress, but just a black screen. IŽve noticed this before, but paid more attention to the BSOD. I have for now disabled sleep mode on battery and mains, but let the screensaver kick in so the screen does not burn.

    I will keep you posted towards the end of next week.

    Cheers

    Hi Axe0, Unfortunately BSODs again

    IŽve reviewed some of the dumps to the best of my knowledge, and they are falling over on multiple sys files. This laptop is up to date, and all of the drivers too, IŽm thinking this has to be hardware and I am going to start sourcing RAM, HDD, and MB. It may be cheaper for a new laptop!!!

    Anyway, this laptop was perfect and fine running each day after I handed it back to my partner, but as before, it was left off for a day or two, power up and boom, BSOD

    Would you mind running your eyes over the latest logs and dumps I have attached on the opening post and let me know your thoughts

    Cheers

    Thank you Axe0. I'm going to start with HDD replacement as i sourced one here in work. I also have new RAM to test.

    All the tests have already passed as mentioned in previous threads now that i have the laptop stable i say they will all pass again.

    I should have the os installed on the new hdd and we'll see how we go

    Thanks again for your time and input
