Twice today, I got a BSOD within about ten seconds after opening the Intel RST console: one Cache Manager error, one Bad Pool Handler. No crashes at any other times.
I then installed the Intel RST 10.0.0.1046 WHQL drivers (from station-drivers; previously, I was using 9.6.0.1014 from the Gigabyte product download page). But afterward, I got a third BSOD a few seconds after opening the RST console (this time a System Service Exception).
I don't really need to use the RST console, but the crashes are disconcerting. The system is stable at all other times. The RST console usually works fine, but sometimes the BSODs happen. Possibly, the crashes are occurring when some of my hard drives have spun down before I open the RST console (though I'm not sure of that).
