I found this link just below the specific download for my OS (link below).

Im pretty sure i did it correctly and I did it after the time of the all the minidumps.

Hi,

The issue damaged the MBR and that had to be rebuilt, not unexpected since the iastor.sys

is a hard disk driver.

No the same driver was in all the minidumps starting from that early one so it has not been updated.

You might have installed the same one again which was reasonable if there were no updated ones

available (no need now to re-install the same one).

You need to get the methods to install that driver from ASUStek and/or Intel - there is information

available at their sites and from their tech support. You need to know the procedure from them so

I will not guess though it probably is very simple, most are these days. Any time you are installing

BIOS or a low level driver (such as iastor.sys) a certain amount of care needs to be taken.

Hope this helps.

put a reminder on my desktop to do that weekend after next!  :-)

As for the WiFi driver... if I remember correctly, I installed an updated driver just after that (when I installed a new Wifi router at home)... but, Ill check it with all the others~

Im still a lil confused how doing a Complete Rebuild (...and nothing short of doing the Complete rebuild as posted above would work!) on the BCD fixed the iaStor.sys (I didnt run/install the the new IMSM program (installing a clean iaStor.sys driver) til' after I got the system up and running!

anyway...Thx Rob~

Hi,

Yes its a good link.

Results verifies by WinDBG, DumpCHK, and BlueScreenView.

If you run BlueScreenView it will show the CAUSE of all the Feb. BSOD's was iastor.sys. Confirmed

by DumpCHK and WinDBG.

WinDBG for a couple : (all were checked)

BugCheck D1, {0, 2, 1, fffff8800112b6ff}

Probably caused by : iaStor.sys ( iaStor+4a6ff )

FAILURE_BUCKET_ID:  X64_0xD1_iaStor+4a6ff

BugCheck 1E, {0, 0, 0, 0}

Probably caused by : iaStor.sys ( iaStor+5288c )

FAILURE_BUCKET_ID:  X64_0x1E_0_iaStor+5288c

================================

The minidump back on 6/26/2010 was 0x000000C2 CAUSE ndis.sys which is a Windows component

which means something else drove it into Fault. The root cause was NETw1v64.sys 7/20/2009 so

look for updated to it - the Intel Wireless Driver (WiFi) - check with ASUStek if on-board and with

the actual device maker if a separate device and of course Intel Downloads.

Even though it was a long time ago I would update that driver.

BugCheck C2, {7, 1097, 406000c, fffffa8004116530}

Probably caused by : NETw1v64.sys ( NETw1v64+59e9 )

FAILURE_BUCKET_ID:  X64_0xc2_7__U33_NETw1v64+59e9

Wait a week or so to be sure the smoke has cleared then I would update the BIOS, low level chipset

drivers, and other on-board device drivers you can. Then look for updates to the major device drivers

for separate devices. See the troubleshooter link for information on how to manually update drivers.
