Greetings: I have a new Alienware 15r3 that crashes when waking from prolonged sleep. I get the "Driver IRQL not Less or Equal" stopcode, and the failure is in iaStorA.sys, which is part of IRST. I tried updating the IRST driver from 15.7.5.1025 to the newest, 15.9.0.1015, and that seemed to fix the problem. However, upon awakening I'd get the message that IRST had removed a SATA disk, i.e., my D drive. The drive totally vanished. It would reappear again just fine on reboot. So, in fixing one sleep problem, I created another. Any advice?
Thanks!
Tim

Thanks for your suggestion. Before I try it, can you clarify something? The version you recommend is older than the one I have currently installed, and older still than your latest version. When I click on that link, it tells me to use the newer version. I'm just wondering what your thinking is here.
Best,
Tim

Hello TJDx2,
I understand, however is for testing purposes, that version was stable.
You can try installing that version to see if the issue do not longer occur.

Stephen

Thanks for asking, Stephen, but ultimately I returned the Alienware to the vendor. There were too many issues.
