Preliminary analysis of the info provided (I did the last 5 memory dumps) shows that the problem is caused by your Storage drivers (iaStor.sys). I'd suggest updating your storage drivers from http://downloadcenter.intel.com

More later, I'm late for work right now!

Hi Bravoboy and congrats on getting your dumps uploaded! I've been watching your plight with interest.

STOP 0x000000D1: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
Usual causes: Device driver

Your last five dump files list iaStor.sys as the probable cause.
Old and incompatible drivers can and do cause issues with Windows 7.

As a Priority:

iaStor.sys Tue Oct 13 19:15:56 2009 Intel Rapid Storage.

I will update this post in approx 1/2 an hour with a full report of your latest dmp file.

Don't forget to run the TDSSKiller as soon as you possibly can. I think that a rootkit is your main problem.

***UPDATE***

Apart from two, all other dmp files are giving the same D1 stop error code and blaming the same driver, iastor.sys. The "other two" are:

STOP 0x0000003B: SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION
Usual causes: System service, Device driver, graphics driver, ?memory

STOP 0x00000050: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
Usual causes: Defective hardware (particularly memory - but not just RAM), Faulty system service, Antivirus, Device driver, NTFS corruption, BIOS

As Usasma mentioned, run the http://www.sevenforums.com/crashes-debugging/96879-blue-screen-death-bsod-posting-instructions.html / jc_griff tool as soon as possible.

upon running this i got BSOD with system_service_exception message.

In reply to fimble, i cannot run TDSSkiller because i can only access a non administrator account and this program requires administrator clearance. However, i am able to run cmd through administrator (this is how i was able to bring you the dump files) so if there is and way i can run TDSSkiller through cmd it would really help me out

also very nooby question but how would i go about updating the drivers in question? (iaStor.sys, rimmpx64.sys, rimspx64.sys, rixdpx64.sys)

 

[fimble]

To run TDSSKiller from cmd prompt you are supposed to be able to enter TDSSKiller.exe -l report.txt which should run TDSSKiller and save a report.

That didn't work for me though. By adding its path, in my case C:, it ran straight away. e.g. C:\TDSSKiller.exe -l report.txt Be aware that I did this from inside Windows. I'm hoping that's enough for you to run it.

how would i go about updating the drivers in question?

The link I provided for the iastor.sys driver will take you to a page where you download an auto installer.

The Ricoh drivers will be a manual search of your PC or Mobo support sites.

Thank you SO much for this helpful reply! i have yet to try these but il update on the result.

In my case the file is located at the desktop, i would move it to the c: but the same administrator problems prevent me. I tried TDSSKiller.exe -1 report with no luck.
then adding the directory was slightly more complicated than c:\ i used c:\user\ian elsegood\desktop\tdsskiller\tdsskiller.exe -1 report.txt and got a message "the system cannot find the path specified" i have a feeling this is possibly more my fault that the computers. Also to check it is (in your example) c:\TDSSKiller.exe(space)-1(space)report.txt is this correct?

I'd forget the report, it's a complication! For the record it is l, as in Llama, little lion and lucky me!
Use c:\userS\ian elsegood\desktop\tdsskiller\tdsskiller.exe

Note it is users , not user .

DAMN!! Late Edit!! Also if you do have a space in your user name use quote "" marks so:
"c:\userS\ian elsegood\desktop\tdsskiller\tdsskiller.exe"

Thats why I dropped mine in C:\. Keeps the cmd prompt short n sweet, although I recognise you are unable to do so.

 

[BravoBoy]

' "c:\users\ian elsegood\desktop\tdsskiller\tdsskiller.exe"' is not recognized as an internal or external commands, operable program or batch file.... still somthing i must be doing wrong? Also in respect to the intel driver update utility is there a downloadable program that does the same thing because i am unable to boot in safe mode with networking, only safe mode so the computer has to internet connection

Can you run a registry (.reg) file? If so, open notepad, copy paste this code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\directory\shell\CMD]
@="Open Elevated Cmd"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\directory\shell\CMD\command]
@="cmd.exe /s /k pushd \"%V\""

Save as whatever.reg and double click it accept the warning (yes) then ok.
Now right click on the TDSSKiller folder and select "Open elevated cmd"
Now you should only have to type in TDSSKiller.exe and it will run. I'll admit I'm no expert on changing file paths in command prompt!

thanks if that doesn't work, i just though maybe if i put tdsskiller on my usb, then use copy e:\tdsskiller c: then i could have it on my c: then maybe i could use the earlier step. you think this could work?

 

[fimble]

Might well do, or drop it in C:\Users. Try n keep the address short n sweet. Maybe try running it from E:\ ??

 

[fimble]

To change your folder path when opening a command prompt: I'm starting off in system32, OK? You might be different. Red is what you type, Blue is what you get.

C:\Windows\system32>cd C:\

C:\> (notice how it's gone back to C:\ ? Now we build the path up. Keep the space between cd and your next folder name There must be a quicker way, but this works!)

C:\>cd users

C:\Users>

C:\Users>cd ian elsegood

C:\Users\ian elsegood>

C:\Users\ian elsegood>cd desktop

C:\Users\ian elsegood\desktop>

C:\Users\ian elsegood\desktop>cd tdsskiller

C:\Users\ian elsegood\desktop\tdsskiller>

C:\Users\ian elsegood\desktop\tdsskiller>tdsskiller.exe

i think i can see a problem, i am running the cmd through going into "repair computer" on boot and then command prompt. the problem with this is when i open it it says X:\windows\system32> instead of c:\windows\system32, i think it is this that causes (when i use c:\TDSSKiller.exe) it now gives me a message "The subsystem needed to support the image type is not present" does this mean i need to put tdsskiller into x:?
+i tried copying tdskiller into the x: and running from there and i got the same messgae
so how would i go about getting from x:\windows\system32> to c:\windows\system32>???

 

[BravoBoy]

im contemplating doing a full restore/ factory reset surely this will fix the problem?

 

[BravoBoy]

is there any way to use the intel download centre/ any way to update the drivers without internet connection because safe mode with networking BSOD-crashes, basically no way of accessing internet on that computer but can i download on this computer and transfer via usb or somthing?

 

[fimble]

i think i can see a problem, i am running the cmd through going into "repair computer" on boot and then command prompt.

That would be a different mode as from Safe Mode.

so how would i go about getting from x:\windows\system32> to c:\windows\system32>???

I wouldn't have thought that would be possible. I would say that the "X" drive would be a theoretical, as opposed to an actual drive.

is there any way to use the intel download centre/ any way to update the drivers without internet connection because safe mode with networking BSOD-crashes, basically no way of accessing internet on that computer but can i download on this computer and transfer via usb or somthing?

Possible, if you can see the USB drive when running Safe Mode.

im contemplating doing a full restore/ factory reset surely this will fix the problem?

I honestly think that that is what I would be doing. As long as a total clean, as in not a repair, install.
I know that seems a negative answer, but once I couldn't even boot to Safe Mode with networking, I'd be thinking "Game Over".

I've just recently done a total fresh install, after SP1** slowed me to a crawl. Took a total of three days, eliminating "iffy" (kb2286198 & kb980408 in my case) Windows Downloads/Updates, only adding two or three at a time. Installing my "crucial" software and then making a back up with, amongst others, Macrium. At least I know the next time it eventually goes tits up I've got a back up to my "sweet spot" Windows 7.

** Nothing new in SP1 for me, all security updates were installed, I installed in a moment of stupidity.

 

[BravoBoy]

Game over doesn't sound good. Do you mean the whole computers had it? anyway, I can see USB from safe mode so how would I go about using the intel driver update thing without Internet? The link back on pg1 is in browser search

 

[BravoBoy]

im willing to do ANYTHING to fix this, any reset, re-install windows or anything like that??? im desperate here, i need a working computer!

 

[fimble]

"Game Over" was not really the best choice of words I made. I meant I'd have given up and I'd be doing a fresh install. I didn't mean that your PC was dead.

Now, if you can download the installer on another PC and put it on your usb, and then you can see the contents of your usb (E:\) in safe mode, you should be able to run it, I don't think it needs internet access to install. I cannot confirm this (I've tried) the software/drivers are not installed on my PC
