    Although I dont know how to rectify it, the Iastorv.sys is a driver within Intel Matrix Storage Manager for you HDD array - thats what a quick search brought up for me anyway....

    I know that this driver is outdated now by Dell downloads - its now Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver (Intel RST on Dell)....

    Maybe uninstalling the Matrix Storage manager and installing the Intel RST would help out with this....but im not sure so dont quote me on it! - maybe someone with more experience can comment or you could call support to see what they suggest?

    Sorry cant be of more help but Iastorv is to do with your storage on HDD...or it looks like that afaik.
