Hi I'm new to this forum but have read alot on it during several months regarding the devopment of IRST drivers to resolve my problems described below.

~~~WALL OF TEXT~~~

After installing Win 8.1 64-bit I have had some crashes very similar to this -->post #20

https://communities.intel.com/thread/46336?start=15&tstart=0
Now it is Intel's business to find the reason for this shutdown bug and to solve it. post #15
"3. (more common) Windows shuts down, I can hear my HDDs shutting down one by one. When the last is supposed to shut down the system reboots (maybe just after it shuts down or just before, I'm not sure). When the RAID BIOS is supposed to show up on screen I can hear my 5 HDDs powering up SLOWLY one by one (the next HDD won't power up until the previous has complete the spin up). Then windows starts and from there I can shut down regularly."

When it tries to detect the Samsung F1 the text is blinking RED (not found or something) but when windows starts it is there and working fine.

I have had some crashes and when rebooting to WinXP or WinXP 64-bit there was this...

http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/chkdsk-...oot-t72388.html
CHKDSK runs every time I boot!
"I was having this problem until today. I used this simple fix. It might
help you.

1. click on your start menu and open the run dialog.
2. type "cmd" and return (note: dont enter quotes)
3. Next type "fsutil dirty query e:"
4. If the return message indicates that the volume is dirty go to step 5
5. Next type "chkdsk e: /f /x"
6. After that finshes repeat step 3.
7. If it is no longer dirty then reboot and you should notice no more
ckdisk."

Tried the fsutil and it showed all hard disks and its partitions was DIRTY and then fixed it as described above.

Never had this happening before I installed Microsoft Win 8.1 64-bit and its raid driver.

Have downloaded the latest IRST but after reading about alot of problems I haven't installed it yet and not running Win 8.1 64-bit more than a few times a month since november 2013 and installed a backup program TrueImage 2014. I will do a backup when the OS is stable with a good raid driver.

This question is not easy to be answered from outside.
My first test candidate for your Intel P35 system would be the Intel RST driver v11.2.0.1006.
Furthermore I recommend to try an update of the Intel RAID ROM module to v10.1.0.1008 (minimum) or - if possible - to v11.2.0.1527.

Thanks for your suggestions

How do I update the Intel RAID ROM?
I googled and found
update intel rom to newer version
BIOS Modding: Introduction and Preparations
BIOS modding success/failure overview

I will need to do a full backup . In Windows 8.1 x64 I have installed the new backup software Acronis True Image 2014 (ATI2014) but since the current raid drivers is unstable I might have to install another version in Windows XP Pro (I have tried Norton Ghost 15 some years ago but hated it). I read post #27 that I can try the "restart, go into bios and 4 seconds power-off button" until better drivers is installed and try to do backup with ATI2014.
post #27

https://communities.intel.com/thread/46336?start=15&tstart=0
"When I shutdown computer HDDs spindown, then spinup again and then machine power off.

- Sometimes this takes longer, so there is BSOD. Memory dump is not created, it stuck on 0%.

This never happen for restart.
- So I restart PC, go to BIOS and then press power button to properly shutdown."

I have alot of data that I don´t want to lose. btw had raid 5 crash this computer years ago but thats another story, the main thing is to do a backup which works later on if needed.
I installed some drivers for my fancontrollers but had to restart the computer 3 times and it crashed as described above each time the raid 10 took 20 minutes to verify it (but I did the "Shut off" computer in Windows 8.1 x64 didn't know post #27 then.

Yes, at first step you should check, if your BIOS is an AMI or Phoenix/Award one. Then just follow the appropriate guide.
If you should have any additional question, please post them within the "BIOS Modding" sub-Forum.

#200 | new: Intel RST(e) Drivers v13.0.0.1098 WHQL datum

Wed Mar 26, 2014 10:16 am (Last edited: Wed Mar 26, 2014 9:49 pm)

Today (03/26/2014) our partner site Station-Drivers has published new Intel RST(e) drivers v13.0.0.1098 WHQL.

Update of the Start Post:

Changelog:

new: 32/64bit Intel RST(e) drivers v13.0.0.1098 WHQL (dated 02/26/2014, usable only with Intel Chipsets from 5-Series up, suitable for Win7 and Win8/8.1)
new: Intel RST(e) Drivers & Software Set v13.0.0.1098 WHQL (dated 02/26/2014, usable only with Intel Chipsets from 5-Series up, suitable for Win7 and Win8/8.1)

I just have installed them on my Z77 system running in AHCI mode. Until now I couldn't detect any problem.

EDIT:

Important:
Intel 5-Series, 6-Series and mobile 7-Series Chipset AHCI RAID Controllers are not supported by these WHQL drivers. In RAID mode they can be used with all Intel chipsets from ICH8R/M up (except X79).
Here is a benchmark result using this brandnew driver with my Z77 system running in AHCI mode (OS: Win8.1 x64, disabled RAPID mode):

Have fun with the new Intel RSTe drivers!

Hi Fernando,

Zitat
Only Intel AHCI systems from 7-Series up (Desktop mainboards) are supported by these drivers.

Do you mean in AHCI mode in particular? It seems to have installed ok on my Z68 (I'm in RAID mode).

Thanks for that. I was a bit worried for a second there.

By the way: I'm still on the 12.7 OROM (with universal trim mod). There is no 13.0.x OROM, so with this driver I'm thinking I will move up to the 13.1.0.2030 (with universal trim mod) OROM to keep them in sync. Good idea?

There is an Intel RAID ROM v13.0 availabe, even an "Universal TRIM modded" version. It is v13.0.0.2075.

A small 12.9 - 13. RST-OROM observation, 12.9 RST are far better than 13.1 and OROM doesn't mater that much..

@ MDM:
Thanks for the benchmark comparison.
Have you already tried the combination Intel RST(e) driver v13.0.0.1098 / OROM v13.0.0.2075? That could be the better matching combination, because both products are from the same development branch 13.0.
Maybe I will do some benchmark tests myself with my Z68 RAID0 system.

No I skipped that one I don't like BETA-s, and obviously we notice the RST are far more influential than the OROM. And if not wrong, if OROM is higher version than the RST that is fine, not so the other way around..
And this is on 2 x Vertex3 MI 120GB RAID 0 (forgot there is no "my machine" section here - you should ad one!..).
