  This may simply be caused by a bad set of Intel Rapid Storage Technology drivers -  

  Installing the Intel Rapid Storage Drivers

  try downloading and installing them from here - https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProdId=2101&DwnldID=22194

  (you want the iata_enu.exe download)

  Once complete, please reboot twice, then post another MGADiag report.

  Hi Noel,

  Unfortunately I did this and my computer would not re-boot after I did this, Windows tried to solve the issue but couldn't, I have had to use an old hard drive to be able to use the computer again. I would suggest that others do not try this to fix their machines. I will just have to re-format the hard drive and install Windows 7 again and see what happens.

  Of the 400or so people this fix has been suggested to, you are the first that we've heard of to have that outcome - 75%+ of the others, it solves the problems, and most of the rest are solved by an alternative fix.

  There must be something very peculiar with your system. - Do you have any idea what it may be?

  Hi, There's nothing special about the computer, it's an Alienware M17, I run Windows 7 and XP in Virtual mode. The computer is mainly used for CAD, StopZilla is the main anti malware software, and I also use stopzill optimizer. The computer does use facial recognition to log on.

  All was fine until I tried to update windows 7 when it said updates were switched off, then I started to get the pop up window saying windows was not genuine, The computer was running fine apart from I couldn't update it and the pop up window would show up every now and then.

  after I ran iata_enu.exe and rebooted the computer would just hang on the window logo with no hard drive activity.

  Fortunately I have all my files backed up.

  I am not a fan of registry cleaners - and Stopzilla Optimizer is on of that ilk. I would not be surprised if that has had something to do with your current problems.

  Have you managed to get the machine to start OK now? - how long did you leave it before forcing the shutdown?

  How is it behaving?

  All is working fine at the moment (except some of the alienware custom buttons/software but that is down to not installing the standard drivers etc), I'm still using Stopzilla. I left the computer running for over 3 hours to see if it eventually would boot up but it didn't, the hard drive activity would stop after about 10 seconds on the windows logo splash screen.

  I have run the diagnostic again for you to compare with the one above so you might be able to see what was wrong between this set up that is working and when it wasn't.

  The report looks fine now - about the only thing that I can think of that may have caused this is because there was a conflict between the already-installed HD drivers and the ones I suggested that you install.

  Interesting that you have a Retail license for Windows 7 Ultimate, while your machine appears to be licensed also for Windows 7.

  What type of License is it? - a Full Retail License, a Retail upgrade License, or an Anytime Upgrade license? (i.e.  did you get disks with it, or not? - where did you get it from?)

  So far as I can see from the reports, there's no reason why the suggestion should have given the results it did, unless there were also other problems present.

  To recover, did you do a clean install, a recovery from an image, or a repair install?

  I'd really like to find out what caused this, as it would impact how I approach this problem in the future.

  The computer came with Windows 7 home installed (retail), I upgraded this over the internet to Ultimate (bought from Microsofts website). Before I upgraded I did a system backup (in 2010) this is what I used to get back to the original installation (after formatting the hard drive) I then used the installation disc I made after the first installation of Ultimate to upgrade the computer once again. I have manually installed most of my CAD software and other utility software etc onto this clean installation. All working great so far.

  Before the problem occurred I had not installed any new software only upgrades to existing software and drivers, I did however get a message from Stopzilla about a month ago it had put two files into quarantine. I didn't recognise the file names so just left them in there.

  
  I did say in the earlier post I upgraded from XP this was wrong I needed XP to run some software I had and that is why I needed Ultimate to be able to run XP along side Windows 7.

  (You can run XP Mode in Windows 7 Pro as well :) )

  From what I can see on Dell's site, the driver is the correct one - the worst I would have expected would be an error message statin either' does not meet minimum requirements' or one saying that the drivers you were installing were older than those already installed.

  Thanks for the extra detail, and good luck with the new build!
