Windows 7 BSOD - DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE

NOSPI · 09-21-2009, 08:15 PM

Hey guys, i'm having the same problem as a few other people here, but i've decided to make my own thread.

I am running Windows 7 Ultimate x64, and i'm having some trouble with it. It randomly just flashes to a BSOD with the error DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE and then reboots. This doesn't happen when i try to manually shut down or go to standby mode.

What information do you need me to post to help diagnose this problem?

Thanks,

NOSPI.

Thanks for the help Infalliblexone, i did what you said.

I've attached the files. The two disabled drivers in the perfmon report were manually disabled, because i thought they may have been causing the problem, but it's still happening even with them disabled.

I've read a few other posts about this same error, but those people usually got the problem when they had a change of power state, like hibernating or shutting down, but mine just does it randomly when i'm in the middle of doing something.

All of the bugchecks are 0x9F and point to the same driver, mausbft.sys. This is apparently a USB audio driver.

Is this a home built PC? What's the wattage on the power supply? Are you using a USB audio device?

Yes i'm using an M-Audio Fast Track USB audio interface. It's not a home built PC, my dad got it a couple of weeks ago. NEC Powermate something. I'm pretty sure its a 450 watt power supply.

I remember now when i was first setting it up, this audio interface doesn't have drivers that support Windows 7 yet. I need it for recording though, so i found a workaround and it does work, the audio interface works fine, but it must be causing this.

I need the audio interface for recording and music playback, but i'm guessing i have to just wait until the drivers are available for Windows 7?

Thankyou for the help. Sorry i didn't mention this before, i'd forgotten about that.

Any advice on what to do? I'll keep trying to make it work as best as i can, recording is basically all i use my computer for so i'd really like to be able to keep it working if possible.

It looks like the driver isn't compatible quite yet. That's the most likely cause. When 7 is released, the drivers should work fine. This "workaround" is what's giving you the BSOD.

I don't really know what to tell you, to be blunt, but I can say that the BlueScreens are being caused by this workaround. Whether you keep it or not is up to you.

NOSPI · 09-22-2009, 05:13 PM

Ok, thankyou for the help. They're not happening as frequently anymore. I've been saving all my work every few minutes so for the time being i'll push on ahead, i really need to be able to use this. If not i might have another device that is compatible with Win 7.

Thanks again,
