IAStorDataMgrSvc Stopped Working
Hi everyone,
I hope I am posting in the right area. I recently built a new PC. I have Windows 10 Pro 64 bit. I have been experiencing very random freezing. Sometimes ill be watching a video and after 5mins the screen will freeze and the sound will loop. Other times, while using Chrome or listening to Spotify for over an hour it will randomly freeze. The times seem very erratic.
I have done a lot of research and think I nailed down the problem. In Windows Event Viewer, and Reliability Monitor, I have noticed that whenever the computer freezes I get an error (just error not critical) saying:
Log Name: ApplicationSource: IAStorDataMgrSvc

If you only read one thing - The Reliability Monitor says: IAStorDataMgrSvc has stopped working. I checked a lot of times that the pc froze and it always seemed to accompany this error.
This is the Intel Rapid Storage Tech right? Do I just need to update it? Would this stop my freezing? Whenever I click the IRST icon on my computer it says Intel RST Service is not running. I cannot seem to open it. I found the new drivers on Intel, but I don't seem smart enough to find a way to install them. Even the Intel site doesn't help.
Sorry if I didn't provide enough info, please let me know if you need more. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks! David
