Windows 10: Blue Screen Crashes Frequently

Hello,


I've been playing on my laptop for a bit longer than a year and have recently run into an issue with blue screen crashes occurring every time I play games. I'm not sure what happened, but it's always the same error type: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL and iaStorA.sys is failing.


I'm not sure how to fix this, but it's really getting pesky. Any help would be appreciated. I have a minidump file, but can't find a link file option here.


Thanks!

:)

 

Crash/blue screen

Hi

I assume from the title of your post Crash/Blue Screen that the PC has crashed and produced a *BSOD=[Blue Screen Of Death] =Blue Screen; and that the PC recovered from this; if and when you see the Blue Screen write the Stop Code down; recover the PC or use one that is working to access the net and look up the Stop Code.

nb: You may be able to view this with a [*BlueScreenView] application, google for this.

Description
===========

BlueScreenView scans all your minidump files created during 'blue screen
of death' crashes, and displays the information about all crashes in one
table. For each crash, BlueScreenView displays the minidump filename, the
date/time of the crash, the basic crash information displayed in the blue
screen (Bug Check Code and 4 parameters), and the details of the driver
or module that possibly caused the crash (filename, product name, file
description, and file version).
For each crash displayed in the upper pane, you can view the details of
the device drivers loaded during the crash in the lower pane.
BlueScreenView also mark the drivers that their addresses found in the
crash stack, so you can easily locate the suspected drivers that possibly
caused the crash.

Frequent Windows 10 blue screen crashes

Reading the comments and suggested remedies for Windows 10 Blue Screen Crashes has been enlightening, however I have yet to find a remedy that works on our computers. My wife and I have three computers with the Windows 10 OS. The one that crashes most frequently
is our HP Pavilion 23 All-In-One. This All-In-One came with Windows 8 and has been upgraded to 16 GB of RAM and, of course, Windows 10. Next is our Toshiba Satellite L655 laptop that came with Windows 7 and upgraded to 8 GB of RAM and Windows 10. The least
frequent blue screen crasher is our Microsoft Surface 3 which has been very recently purchased and it came with Windows 10. These blue screen crashes occur too often and are very irritating. With our three machines I have been attempting, without success, to
find a common thread to the crashes. Most crashes seem to occur when we are playing are online, especially playing a game such as The LA Times Just Words Scrabble (the only appearance of a common thread is that, no matter which machine, the blue screen happens
when I'm ahead in the game). All three of our Win 10 computers seems to enjoy going blue in the middle of a very enjoyable video/movie. In addition Windows 10 seems to enjoy going blue when we are working with Office 2010 and other installed programs/apps.
All kidding aside, the Windows 10 blue screen crash occurs way too frequently on each of our three computers and the reasons given on the blue screens differs.

Each of our computers are set for automatic updates from Microsoft and other installed programs/apps. Could that be the common thread?
