Windows 10: iastorac.sys and hal.dll issues

Hello,


Firstly I want to say that I updated two computer with the Windows update yesterday and it crashed BOTH computers.. One computer is an HP AIO Desktop and the other is a Levovo AIO Desktop. I have been online with Microsoft for two days trying to resolve this issue. I have noticed that I am not alone in this issue, and Microsoft is refusing to acknowledge that something went wrong with their most recent Windows update. I could see maybe issue with my 5 year old computer, but a 2 month brand new computer.. and then it happening on BOTH system the same day I do an update in windows update, it's not coincidental. Although I have been getting tech support by phone for my older HP computer, I have yet to have the time to get to my new Lenovo Computer.


Troubleshooting:


I have made sure that the most recent BIOS has been updated by the manufacturers website.

I get the error message when booting the system:


WHEA Uncorrectable Error...


I keep reading thread after thread that it's an internal issue, but too many people have this issue after Microsoft Updates. Thank God I just bought this computer 2 months ago and will have some warranty on it, but not on my older computer unfortunately.


What is the problem and any suggestions on how to fix this? Sorry for so long, but you need to know all the information posted I believe. Thank you

HAL DLLs error on XP

' Load needed DLLs for HAL '

Bad ram was the problem.

 

HAL DLLs error on XP

Sorry for my noobness but I didnt really understand completely what HAL is ,but
to cut to the chase, is it a harware or sofware problem I am having?

What I understood is that HAL helps my computer comunicate with the other components.

 

DLL Missing

The problem is, that the required DLL is not actually even listed there.
There are just dozens of download adware links from the top to the bottom.
