• Satellite L650 - blue screen - driver_irql_not_less_or_equal iastor.sys

  Toshiba Satellite L650, Windows 7, Intel Core i3 processor.
  My computer suddenly restarted and I get a blue screen with a message - 'iastor.sys' does not.

  Anyone encountered before?
  How can it be resolved?

  -Earlence

  iastor.sys seems belongs to the SATA/controller HARD disk controller.
  Eventually he deliver s HARD drive.
  However, you can try to reinstall the Storage Manager Intel because this package contains this file.

  Chrome has initialized the call that crashed. Looking at the call stack, it seems to be releasing a police in memory that is not or no longer exists.

  Chrome update, update drivers video (and possibly print drivers). You use a third-party program of fonts?

  I'm not Chrome, but IE has trouble shooting modes such as disabling addons.

• Windows continues to if crush/blue screen mentions stdriver32.sys and bios updates

  My computer crashes, a blue screen with lots of text flashes up briefly before the restart of the it, I took a photo of the last time so I could read: says:

  "A problem has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

  It gives then a few steps to follow if the problem happens again, but I do not understand what I have to do. The first is to check that I have enough disk space (pretty sure I do, there are 60 GB free on the hard drive). Then he said: If a driver is identified in the error message turn it off / update. He suggested then update BIOS/disable cache/occultation layout.

  I'm not sure if it's just a standard error message?

  Technical information:

  STOP: 0 X£ 0000008 (0XC0000005, 0X91838C21, 0XA9880878, 0X00000000)

  stdriver32.sys - address 01838c 21 base at 91834000, DateStamp 059370 4 d

  This happened about 15 times now, usually I have Firefox running on time, possibly Skype or msn also - don't know if this is relevant.

  After the crash, the computer reboots normally, so far. I reallly appreciate any help or advice.

  Thank you. Paul

  It seems that this is caused by SoundTap, recorder of audio.

  You can uninstall it if you need, or if you use it, reinstall it to ensure that get you the most up-to-date for your operating system version.

  If you still get the BSOD, you can post your DMP files so that we can check out them?

  You can zip the MiniDump files in the C:\Windows\Minidump folder and make it available via Windows Live SkyDrive. You can then provide the link to that on this forum.

  The following link has information about the use of Windows Live SkyDrive:

  http://social.technet.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/w7itproui/thread/4fc10639-02dB-4665-993a-08d865088d65

  If you have problems to compress the minidump files copy the minidump files to another location such as a folder on the desktop

  In addition, you do not necessarily have compress the minidump files, you can download one at a time.

• blue screen d1 (storport.sys) (IRQL_Not_Less_Or_Equal) Windows 7

  Hey guys, I had a few problems with the blue screens.

  First of all, I'm on a brand new computer, hardware nine and new installation of Windows 7, including windows updates and all updates of pilot (that I know), as well as other software (eg games).

  However, when I browse with Firefox (watch Youtube) or game too long, my computer blue screen and the blue screen tends to change. Sometimes, I have no information on the blue screen, sometimes it says IRQL_Not_Less_Or_Equal but sometimes also to mention storport.sys.

  Upon restart, my blue screen error code is as follows:

  Signature of the problem:

  Thank you very much in advance, I am really puzzled as to what to do.

  Hello

  Thanks for choosing Microsoft Community Forums.

  According to the description, it seems that you are having problems with BSOD error messages while browsing the YouTube site with the FireFox browser. I will certainly help you fix this problem.

  Since the system file posted, looks like you are having problems with the Intel AHCI drivers on your computer.

  (1) was there any update of hardware controller or drivers of storage recently controller?

  (2) have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

  Method 1: If so, I suggest you to make back the drivers to the previous version and check if it helps.

  Method 2: If this isn't the case, I suggest you to install drivers AHCI update from the Intel Web site or the manufacturer's Web site and check.

  I hope it helps. If you have any questions about Windows in the future, please let us know. We will be happy to help you.

• Blue screen fatal - atapi.sys

  Please someone can help me, ive got the satellite pro a100 and is only about 3 months old, large portable screen outside this blue which keeps appearing... Windows has shut down to prevent damage to your system... atapi.sys... What does this mean exactly... .and how to fix... Please can someone help me.the laptop is still under warranty, but I don't want to send it if it is only a small problem... .Thanks everyone

  Hello

  AFAIK the atapi.sys is a driver for an optical drives (CD/DVD drive).
  Maybe the application is corrupt?
  You have nothing installed on this unit or have you changed the OS?

  I think you should try to update all Microsoft updates. If you have manually installed the OS, try to first use the Toshiba Recovery CD.

  Hello

  All attached files of the DMP are the error checking DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (d1) .

  A kernel mode driver attempted to access pageable memory with an IRQL (Interrupt Request level) that was too high.

  Usual causes are a device driver has a bug and tried to access invalid memory, the swap file is damaged or there is a memory problem.

  Throughout your * D1 dumps, it seems that the consistent culprit is Teefer.sys who is a pilot with respect I think the Sygate Personal Firewall.

  We see Teefer is subsequently called in various networking related routines, then a verification error, so we probably have a conflict. Take a look at your list of loaded modules, I see you have installed Norton. It's more than likely that the firewall is in conflict with, if you have two choices:

  1. remove and replace Norton with built-in Windows Defender from Windows 8 and use Windows Firewall.

  Norton removal tool - https://support.norton.com/sp/en/us/home/current/solutions/kb20080710133834EN_EndUserProfile_en_us;jsessionid=841A6D40BA6872C47697C6C6B19C8E11.4?entsrc=redirect_pubweb&pvid=f-home

  or

  2. remove Sygate Personal Firewall and use Norton on its own.

  Hello

  Repair attempt tells us not what you did. Have you checked
  Malware? Don't forget that no one program will detect all malware. You updated the BIOS, low
  level chipset drivers and device drivers main since the system (motherboard manufacturer site
  manufacturer of custom systems) and device manufacturers sites?

  If you can not save or copy the data to removable media such as CD, DVD, or USB drives,
  then you can put the hard drive on another computer as 2nd drive or externally
  USB box. After the backup of the date, then you can reinstall Windows to see if it solves
  blue screen problems.

  I hope this helps.

• STOP: 0x000000D1 ndis.sys error during the Windows Xp Setup screen

  I have a computer tailor-made with a motherboard Intel D865GLC with a p4 running at 2.5 Ghz, a western digital 200 GB HARD drive, a drive Liteon DVD - RW, this computer was recently given too me by a friend because I can not afford the newer hardware. The problem I have is when I do a clean install of windows xp, I randomly get a STOP: 0x000000D1 ndis.sys blue screen. I tried to install an upgrade of windows 98 and windows 2000, nor worked. There is no specific time that he likes to fail, but no matter what it fails, it can be just by copying the files from its installation, the network while it please help

  Thanks in advance

  Do not install an operating system is usually caused by (in order of probability):

  1. you are trying to install with other devices connected to the computer. Unplug them before trying to make an installation.

  2. "" "" defective installation media. "" Check the CD/DVD installation for scratches, tasks. Try another machine.

  3. bad optical drive. Test with another CD/DVD bootable or Exchange for a well-known work.

  4. faulty RAM. Test with Memtest86 + www.memtest.org . You will download the .iso image file to create a bootable cd. Burn the file with the third party burning software *-as an image, not in the form of data. Then start with the media that you did (you may need to change the boot priority in your BIOS so that the optical drive is the first boot device). The test runs immediately. The test run for an hour or two--at least that errors are seen immediately. If you get any errors, replace the RAM.

  * It is not necessary to have a third party burning software in Windows 7 since Win7 natively allows to burn an .iso. Other operating systems require it. A good free choice ImgBurn comes from www.imgburn.com .

  5. bad hard drive. Test with a diagnostic utility downloaded from site of the disc mftr... You create a bootable CD with the files you download. Burn the file with a third-party burning software (unless you have Windows 7, that allows to record the .isos natively) - as an image, not in the form of data. Boot with the CD that you have done and do a full test of the reader. The physical tests fail, replace it.

  6. other hardware components are faulty. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!
