After the major build (1511) update I've been experiencing recurring BSOD of the kind IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL.
I run WhoCrashed that says it's a driver problem (iaStorA.sys). I followed the instructions of a previous post here on the forum (uninstalling all Intel rapid storage software and then uninstall the drivers), but still have the same issue.
Someone also mentioned about RAID in the BIOS, but I have not clear how to check it on my laptop.
In addition, whenever I restart the computer, I receive various notifications stating that all computer protections are down, and that my antivirus (McAfee) is off. Oddly enough, if I click on one of these notifications a windows pops out where it says that Windows Defender is activated (while I set it off by default) and my antivirus is not (while it should).
I had already reinstalled McAfee after switching from 8.1 to 10, and did not experience any issue until the 1511 build...
I have a laptop DELL Inspiron 17R 5737 (2013), Windows 10 Home 64-bit
Thank you for any help,

The RAID part only counts for those who have a desktop and configured a RAID setup.
Please reinstall the Intel Rapid Storage Technology drivers from Dell, the drivers need updating

Would be a good idea to also check other drivers for updatesCode:0: kd> lmvm iastora start end module name fffff800`fc400000 fffff800`fc6ba000 iaStorA (deferred) Image path: SystemRootSystem32driversiaStorA.sys Image name: iaStorA.sys Timestamp: Fri Aug 02 03:39:52 2013(51FB0DE8) CheckSum: 000AC609 ImageSize: 002BA000 Translations: 0000.04b0 0000.04e4 0409.04b0 0409.04e4
Thank you very much for your reply! I have already checked with the dell utility (and also by manual install) that the version on the website is the one I have currently installed
Would you suggest looking for an updated version directly on the Intel website?The RAID part only counts for those who have a desktop and configured a RAID setup.

The version hasn't changed since the last update a few months ago hence the reason why I said reinstall.
Please reinstall Intel Rapid Storage Technology.
NOTE:the data in the picture is for Windows 8.1 because Dell detected my system, but it is mostly correct including the dates.
I tried to reinstall the original driver but I got the same BSOD after just a few minutes. I found out then that there were two other drivers that could replace the problematic one, and I tried to install one of those (Intel(R) 8 Series SATA AHCI Controller - 9C03).
After one week I did not experience any more crashes nor other problems.
If no other problems will appear in the next days I will mark this post as solved.
Glad to hear.
