Praying that someone can help this newbie.
My Dell Vostro 220 has been working fine until 8/6 - when I started getting these BSODs. I haven't installed any new hardware or software. But I'm still running Win XP Pro SP-3, and I think my problems began after running the last Windows Update. I've tried: deleting my NAV and any unecessary programs; updating the drivers that I could - at Windows Update & Dell; total check with TuneUp Utilities; trying to system restore. Still, my PC crashes every time it goes into sleep mode.I did see an error message in Device Manager for the DVD/CD-ROM drive (that I don't even use). I couldn't install the driver (which seems to be very old) from Dell.com. Uninstalling the driver didn't work. The Even Viewer shows warnings about Microsoft Fax failure, but I don't have an internal fax.
The last time I called Dell, I got someone in India who didn't seem to know much more than I did. I'm totally confused at this point, but I am attaching the WhoCrashed report in hopes that someone can tell my specifically what is wrong. Thank you!!!!

On Mon 8/15/2011 10:00:05 AM GMT your computer crashed
crash dump file: C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini081511-01.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: iastor.sys (iaStor+0x43220)
Bugcheck code: 0x19 (0x20, 0xFFFFFFFF88729E67, 0xFFFFFFFF8872A667, 0xB000500)

Bug check description: This indicates that a pool header is corrupt.
This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem. This might be a case of memory corruption. More often memory corruption happens because of software errors in buggy drivers, not because of faulty RAM modules.
A third party driver was identified as the probable root cause of this system error. It is suggested you look for an update for the following driver: iastor.sys (Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver - ia32, Intel Corporation).
