This tutorial contains step by step instructions on how to fix DRIVER IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL Blue Screen error caused by iaStorA.sys, iaisp64 sys, Netwtw04.sys, nvlddmkm.sys, ndis.sys, wrUrlFlt.sys, rtwlane.sys, etc., driver files on Windows 10/8/7. This indicates that a kernel-mode driver attempted to access pageable memory at a process IRQL that was too high. Let us see how to fix iaStorA.sys BSOD Error on Windows 10. The procedure will be the same for other files too. You basically need to update, rollback or fresh-install the concerned driver.
The iaStorA.sys file is a software component related to Intel Rapid Storage Technology by Intel. It is a software solution supported by Intel Smart Response Technology. It allows the computer to have a communication with the hardware or any other external connected devices. Intel Rapid Storage Technology enables PCIe or Peripheral Component Interconnect Express storage support, serial ATA RAID or Redundant Array of Independent Disks 0, 1, 5, and 10 support, as well as the power-up in standby (PUIS), is supported.
Some may also show you the driver file names, indicating the faulty drivers that cause the DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error, like rtwlane.sys (Realtek PCIE Wireless LAN PCI-E NIC driver), igdkmd64.sys (Intel Graphics driver), athw8x.sys (Atheros Wireless LAN Driver), etc.
As you know, Windows 10 is available as a free upgrade to all genuine Windows 8 and Windows 7 users, however, upgrade process to Windows 10 isn’t always smooth and some users report getting driver_irql_not_less_or_equal (mfewfpic.sys) error.
Driver_irql_not_less_or_equal (mfewfpic.sys) is usually followed by a Blue Screen of Death after which your computer restarts. This error is caused by a file mfewfpic.sys that is related to McAfee Security Software, and usually the best solution to this is to remove McAfee security software before upgrading to Windows 10. If you have already upgraded to Windows 10, don’t worry, there’s still a way to fix this issue.
