Hi culi1997.

Get rid of intel rapid storage. First uninstall it from Control Panel > Programs and Features. Then Uninstall the driver from device manager.

1. Right click on "my computer" icon and click "manage" on the context menu.
2. It will open the "computer management" window.
3. Select "Device Manager" in the left pane, It will list all the existing devices up.
4. Expand "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers" by clicking on the triangle in front of it.
5. Select one Intel device item under it, right click, uninstall.
6. Continue the process for all Intel items under "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers"
7. Now restart the computer. At restart, windows will auto configure the appropriate native system driver.

Test your HDD with Data Lifeguard Diagnostic for Windows.


Let us know the results. Alsopost a screenshot of the HDD using CrystalDiskInfo - Software - Crystal Dew World.

Hope you have done the other one too.

Now wait and observe how it is going. Let us know for any further issue.

yeah, I also uninstalled intel rapid storage, but it has still been giving me bluescreens, still at pretty random moments.. I attached more dump files.

Stop 0xF4 continues.

Re-seat the sata and power cables.

• 

If possible, change the SATA cables. Apply the SATA cable to an unused port on the motherboard. Make it sure there in no bent pin in the HDDs SATA connector. Also make it sure that there is no loose screw holding the HDD to the stand.
