Stop Code noted was: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
Driver failed: iaStorA.sys

I am actively researching why this has happened twice in the past week. I don't think anything new has been installed.

Among the troubleshooting lists is the identification of this driver "iaStorA.sys" with Intel Rapid Storage drivers that live at the motherboard level. So I have searched here and ask fellow owners of the Taichi Z370 if they have had (and fixed) this problem.

BTW, I can add that the BSOD appears sometime during the night. I like to leave Win 10 running - after saving and quitting my work programs - with monitors turned off. So I have seen the BSOD when I come to the desk and turn on monitors.

My last BSOD happened at 3am according to the System logs... There was a reference to a "low power state"... I haven't dug into the logs for today's BSOD fun.

TIA for any thoughts,
