    An assortment of BSODs, possibly graphics card driver? Thanks!


    I'm getting an array of different BSODs, hopefully all contained in the crash report. They occur at seemingly random intervals. Please let me know what I should do, and if I should provide any further info. Attachment 47545

    Thanks in advance!

    I recommend to check the device drivers for updates and check your software for updates.

    The Intel RST driver has been flagged

    MemTest86+ needs to be run for at least 8 passes for conclusive results. Set it running before you go to bed and leave it overnight. We're looking for zero errors here. Even a single error will indicate RAM failure.

    Thank you for your response axe0

    Would I be able to solve the iastorA.sys issue by downloading the latest here? Downloads for Intel RST) I'm finding it tricky to work out how to update that driver

    When the weekend comes i'll be sure to do the memtest. I'd run it previously, but never for 8 passes! pheweee that's a bunch.

    Will let you know how I get on

    Thanks again

    Hi Axe0,

    I've updated my info more thoroughly. Hope that helps.

    I find it tricky updating that driver, as usually I update drivers through the Device Manager. But I can't seem to find it listed there. Also there's no option to update things through the Intel Rapid Storage Technology app? Sorry I'm still learning here

    Thanks again

    No problem, I'm glad you ask what you don't know. It is better to ask then to do things that you could regret because you didn't knew it shouldn't be done that way.

    I have searched a little for you, filter on drivers and Windows 10 64-bit.
    Please use link below for downloading more updated drivers.
    Just click on the blue names, for example see below
    Attachment 48499
    After clicking on 1 of the blue names, you get a few download options. I don't know exactly why there are multiple download choices and why there sizes are different, but choose 1 of the options. After the download is finished, open the file and the installation process starts.

    Hi Axe0,

    I'm getting closer to solving the issue. I've removed two 8gig sticks of RAM, bringing it down from 32 to 16 gigs. Since then the system has been a lot more stable, with no blue screens for now [touch wood!]. So all things point to the RAM being broken?

    I've also heard it could sometimes be an issue with the ram slot on the motherboard, but how would I go about troubleshooting that?

    As a back story, when I first built the PC, I had to replace one of the sticks of RAM as the PC wouldn't boot up. The stick was under warranty so no problem. I thought i'd solved things by replacing the RAM, but looks like either the replacement was dodgy or maybe its the connection / slot on the motherboard?

    I have yet to do a full cycle of 8 memtests as I use the computer for work every day, but will do this next time I have a chance.

    Thanks

    Run the test on every stick in every slot separated from the other sticks, note the results and compare.

    OK, great - so do each stick, one at a time? And 8 memtest passes for each stick?

    So: "Stick 1" in slot A, then B, then C, then D
    Then: "Stick 2" in slot A, then B, then C, then D ...?

    Thankyou! Getting close...

    Yes, that is correct.

    Also to keep in mind, if you haven't used every slot I don't think you would have to test the unused slots too.
