Please read my IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL BOSD minidump files

[sereNUTS]

I get a BOSD once every day while using my computer to broswe the internet or play games. I have windows up to date and have not inserted any new computerware into my PC lately. My BOSD always says "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL".

Ram.
Either your using mismatched ram from different vendors or one or more of your sticks have gone bad.
Run memtest overnight to confirm this.
9/10 times I have encountered this it has been a bad stick.

looks like all three bugchecks were caused by the same problem. (see below for what to do)
--------
remove your old Ralink 802.11 USB Wireless Adapter Driver, its date is in 2011 you would need one dated in 2012 to run it on your usb 2 port
or a version in 2013 to run it on your usb 3.0 ports. you could also look for a updated version of the driver. I can not tell the model or brand name of the device but It is a pretty old driver.
(note: this problem is unrelated to the bugchecks)
------
(this should repair your storage driver)
start cmd.exe as an admin, (windows key+x, then type a)
run
sfc.exe /scannow
dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

(basically, ignore the errors and reboot after doing this)


update the BIOS version (check your motherboard revision number, I am guessing you have 2.0 or 2.1 rather than the 1.0 version)

pick up the motherboard driver updates: (fixes various conflicts and updates the intel driver)
http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5321#driver

(run the scan to try to find out what replaced the storage driver)
then run a malwarebytes scan to check for malware that might have modified storage driver.
(I am hoping the sfc.exe command or the dism.exe command put a good copy back on your system and the problem will just go away)


-----------------
The first bugcheck was in the intel storage driver
\SystemRoot\System32\drivers\iaStorA.sys Wed Feb 03 05:17:08 2016
but was being called from a modifed storage driver. I would guess you have a virus infection in the storage driver.
that driver thinks you are running your drive in RAID mode. You will want to check in BIOS for the sata/ide mode setting.
(generally people would not be running in SATA raid mode)

I've run a mem test and there were no errors,
I'm starting to believe this may be the problems because i do get a lot of memory crashes on minecraft but, that could be totally unrelated. Should run a memory test for each individual stick or remove one stick at a time and see if my BOSD continues?
