    Hi all,

    I bought the Zepto 3415w I think about 2 years ago. Spec is Core 2 Duo 2.4ghz, 8600gt 512, 200gb 7200rpm hd 4gb RAM and 1gb Turbo Memory. It's been working fine until I recently upgraded to Windows 7. Had to do a custom install and so everything was wiped.

    When I tried to install the drivers, I started with the chipset driver, and then the turbo memory driver (which installs both the turbo memory driver and matrix storage) however, just before the installation completes I get a blue screen, with iAStor.sys listed as the problem. I've tried the latest drivers, the old drivers and the drivers in between, I've checked the BIOS and ahci is enabled. I also re-installed Windows 7 with the intel disk utility drivers preloaded, but no luck with that either. Does anyone know a fix?

    The next problem I had is the webcam is not being detected. I've installed the drivers however it is still listed as 'unknown device'. Any solutions?

    Thanks
    Mitch

    What was your original OS?

    Also, I've tried downgrading back to Vista Ultimate but it isn't working with that now either. Same blue screen when I install the turbo memory driver.

    Just because it is installed doesn't mean that you need it. I would suggest disabling the turbo memory module in the bios and then try again. I have seen very little, if any, performance improvement with the turbo memory module installed.

    Admitedly I'm not too bothered about the turbo memory, as with vista it didn't give that much of a boost anyways, but any ideas for the webcam? It worked in Vista Ultimate, but it isn't being recognised in Win 7 and then when I tried vista again its still not being recognised.
