BSoD: "iastorv.sys" - Vista x64 SP2

Patrick, Once again I am hopeful that by restoring my system I appear to have dodged the BSoD bullet (at least based on my last few boot-ups). But before you close my issue (I am prepared to resort to my factory install disk if need be) please answer one last question: Now that my system seems...

BSoD: "iastorv.sys" - Vista x64 SP2

Patrick, Can you clarify why Avast! should be uninstalled? I've been using it fir over 7 years now and cannot believe it has anything to do with my BSoD woes. Similarly, though I have Paragon products installed but they are never running and are not part of my Startup, so I'm confused why I...

BSoD: "iastorv.sys" - Vista x64 SP2

Patrick, Attached is the requested Windows7_Vista_jcgriff2.zip file. Do you know of any way I can request Windows to simply boot from the LKGC without me having to PF8 to it on each boot? i.e., why can't it just remember it and save me the hassle? Is the LKGC one of my restore points? Thanks, Dan

BSoD: "iastorv.sys" - Vista x64 SP2

Patrick: Looks like I jinxed myself. No sooner do I tell you that all is well when all of a sudden my (Vista) Blue Screen woes are starting again (I was fine for 6 months after I inserted new memory) so I have a basic(?) question for you: Before booting, I PF8 into a screen that allows me to...

BSoD: "iastorv.sys" - Vista x64 SP2

re: BSoD: "iastorv.sys" - Vista x64 SP2 Patrick: I don't want to speak too soon, but my BSoD issue seems to be solved! I backed off the driver "iastorv.sys" that appeared at the bottom of the BSoD and ever since then no more BSoDs have appeared!?! Not sure why this driver was the culprit or...

BSoD: "iastorv.sys" - Vista x64 SP2

Hi, Suddenly I am receiving the BSoD on bootup and noted that "iastorv.sys" was at the bottom of the BSoD. After a few boot attempts I am able to run with no problem but when I shutdown and reboot the BSoD takes over once again. I am running Vista/sp2 and I attached the zip file created by...

Vista repair disk [moved from carrona DRT]

Thanks for the clarification - I updated my notes. And if I see little or no dust I'll take a chance and blow the compressed air inside :lol: ! Dan

Vista repair disk [moved from carrona DRT]

After I replace the memory & Vista's BSoDs go away, R&R will finally mean Rest & Relaxation once again - thanks! Dan

Vista repair disk [moved from carrona DRT]

Will do - thanks for the tips! R&R means "remove and reset" ? Also, since I have no rugs (only tile) if I touch the case then no need to buy a discharge strap? Dan

Vista repair disk [moved from carrona DRT]

Good idea, I'll do that. If I use surgical gloves is that equivalent to an anti-static strap? Also, what about a vacuum cleaner is I see some dust? I never understood why compressed air is used since I thought that would just blow the dust around - no? Thanks for your suggestion, Dan

BSoD files for Dan Bromberg

The Crucial.com website shows I can replace my 4GB of RAM for $72 so if MEMTEST continues to show I have problems then maybe I'll just do it. BTW, not sure why I didn't realize SP was the SPACE bar but by "carriage return" I assume you mean the ENTER key - correct? Thanks again for your...

Vista repair disk [moved from carrona DRT]

Re: Vista repair disk I just ran MEMTEST for the final time making it through 7+ passes without any errors found. But I will assume since prior runs did find 276,992 errors that I do have a memory problem that is causing the BSoD screens to randomly occur (associated with the random pieces of...

So I should burn another MEMTEST CD for the latest version and toss the 4.0 version I have? For the last 2 3/4 hours I started another test and Pass #4 shows no errors. If all 6 Passes show no errors are we still concluding that I have a bad memory stick/slot based on the MEMTEST runs producing...

I'm running MEMTEST86 for a 3rd time and so far (currently on pass #2) it found errors in tests # 7 and #8 (but not test #3 like it did the first time) for a total of 276,992 "errors". I can only assume that it is not testing all of memory but random sections since the results are different for...
