Hello!

Running an HP Pavilion dv6 laptop w/Windows 7 Home Premium (x64).

I have been battling an iaStor.sys BSOD for about 3 weeks now. No specific action seems to trigger it, from what I can tell. Strange that it seems to happen more frequently when my computer is connected to ac outlet power as opposed to running off battery power.

I have tried System Restore to about 5 days back (at the time). I have scanned with MalwareBytes and avast!, and things came up clean. I updated my nVidia, BIOS, and Intel drivers...to no avail.

I am an average computer user--certainly no expert. I did use the DM Log Collector and attached my .zip file. Hopefully this helps!

Welcome to the forum dysphoria,

Free up the start-up, nothing except the antivirus is usually needed.
Make scans with the following:

Kaspersky TDSSKiller
ESET online scanner:
Remove Intel Rapid Storage Technology applications.

1. Uninstall it from Control Panel > Programs and Features.
2. Uninstall the driver from device manager:
- Right click on "my computer" icon and click "manage" on the context menu.
- In the "Computer Management" window that opens:
- Select "Device Manager" in the left pane, It will list all the existing devices.
- Expand "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers" by clicking on the triangle in front of it.
- Select one Intel device item under it, right click, then uninstall.
- Repeat the process for all Intel items under "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers"
3. Now restart the computer.
4. Once booted, Windows will auto configure the appropriate native system driver.
Run the System File Checker that scans the of all protected Windows 7 system files and replaces incorrect corrupted, changed/modified, or damaged versions with the correct versions if possible:
  • Click on the :orb:
  • Type CMD on Search
  • Left click and Run as Administrator
  • Type SFC /scannow

Run Disk Check on your Hard Drive for file system errors and bad sectors on it:
Upload a screenshot of your hard disk using Crystal Disk Info:

SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M (1000007e)
This is a very common bugcheck.  Usually the exception address pinpoints
the driver/function that caused the problem.  Always note this address
as well as the link date of the driver/image that contains this address.
Some common problems are exception code 0x80000003.  This means a hard
coded breakpoint or assertion was hit, but this system was booted
/NODEBUG.  This is not supposed to happen as developers should never have
hardcoded breakpoints in retail code, but ...
If this happens, make sure a debugger gets connected, and the
system is booted /DEBUG.  This will let us see why this breakpoint is
happening.
Arguments:
Arg1: ffffffffc0000005, The exception code that was not handled
Arg2: fffff88001073768, The address that the exception occurred at
Arg3: fffff88003be5868, Exception Record Address

Thank you, koolkat!

I apologize for the delay; I was wiped out by some kind of flu today. Tonight, I did manage to disable all my startup programs via CCleaner (which I've had for years). I also performed the clean startup via msconfig and rebooted.

Things are quicker, and no freezes/BSoDs yet. They are seemingly somewhat random, but usually happen anywhere between 5 minutes or 2 hours. If there are no freezes by tomorrow, I can be quite certain there is some kind of application conflict.

Thank you for a step in the right direction! A relief in frustrating times.

Well, I did end up having a crash this afternoon, but the interval between crashes was probably the longest yet. It seems that I cannot disable my avast! Antivirus. It doesn't allow me in CCleaner or msconfig. I'd hate to uninstall it altogether...

This was when everything (except avast!) was disabled.

Ideas?

I went ahead and ran the Kaspersky TDSS Killer. It was clean.

I ran the ESET Online Scanner a week or so ago, with a clean result. I'll go ahead and run it again just in case.

I will take a break now, before I attempt the Intel removal. I wanted to ensure that the only thing I would remove from the program list is "Intel Rapid Storage Technology", because the tutorial mentioned "applications"...and I do have about 12 Intel programs/applications listed. Here is a shot from my Windows program list.

In my Device Manager, I do not have "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers" listed. I mentioned I am not entirely tech-savvy with these kinds of things! What category should I look into? Here is a shot from my Device Manager list.

That's the first time I have seen a Device manager without IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers How about expanding Storage controllers and post a screenshot.

Are you running Raid? You are using a Raid controller, which is iaStor, or IRST. Both are one and the same.

Thank you! I just have a stock HP Pavilion dv6, so I am quite sure I have only 1 drive. Here's a shot of my Disk Management. Oh, and of course that Accelerating Guitar is just a DVD that I have in there. =)

There is absolutely no reason Acer put your default sata controller mode to Raid. Could you please go into bios and look for sata controllers or sata mode and tell me what it's set to? Don't change it, just tell me what it is set to. By looking at Device manager it looks like it must be set to raid.

I hit F10 during startup to enter my BIOS, which was displayed as InsydeH2O Setup Utility. I browsed all through it, and nothing mentioned SATA or controllers. =\

OK, no problem, thanks for trying. But, at this point, you cannot remove the iaStor driver, I'm pretty sure. If you remove it, you will not be able to boot. Try expanding storage controllers, right click the raid driver entry. select properties then the driver tab. It should tell you the driver name, version and date. Please both tell me what it is and go to your laptop on HP's web site and look for a driver that is newer than that The newer ones will have a newer date and a higher version number. this will show you what I mean. This is from my computer.

On the HP site. They scanned for my laptop, and then scanned for any driver updates. They said there were no available updates. However, I dug around the site manually for drivers, and I did find...

Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver
2012-02-24, Version 11.0.0.1032, 8.55M

Interesting. The date is about 3 months newer, but the Version number is exactly the same as what I already have, per my screen shot above...

I'll check back with you later. Let me know if you think I should try and install this one. I'll keep the link handy.
