I have 4 drives in this machine, but am not using the built-in iaStorA.sys RAID driver to configure them in RAID configuration. One example of this is my main test PC, a Dell Dimension E520 PC, 10 years old this year. Should you have a desktop PC or a laptop with dual-drive capability, and you physically add a 2nd drive or additional drives (3, 4, 5, etc.), then the same iaStorA.sys driver can manage 2 or more drives in a RAID configuration (mirroring). Many BIOSes use the RAID driver to control the entire storage sub-system (controller chip and the bootdrive), so unless you have more than 1 drive in your PC or laptop (99% of these only have room for 1 hdd in them), removing the iaStorA.sys driver can keep your drive from working at all or diminish it's interface capability with the computer's BIOS. I've worked on several desktop PCs as well as laptops over the years that use this driver.

You must test for at least 12 hours unless it becomes obvious there is a problem straight away. You'll then need to enter the bios to change the boot order so you can boot from either the Disk or USB stick you have Memtest86 on.
You can either burn it to disk or install it onto a USB drive it's entirely up to you. If you open the link below you'll see you can run Memtest86 in two ways. Windows does have a memory testing app but it can miss errors and the best app for the job is Memtest86. If the bsod continues then you'll need to test your RAM.
