    Basically I got my new W230SS today and have been playing around with it installing drivers and software. The latest driver I installed was the Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver from the mySN site, I restarted my computer and then when I opened Speedfan it would BSOD (I think? Windows 8 BSOD looks different), and this error came up after the generic windows message:

    DRIVER_IRWL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (iaStorA.sys)

    Can somebody explain why this happened to me?

    I uninstalled Intel RST and Speedfan opens fine now which is how I know it's something to do with RST or Speedfan
