Hi,
After Windows update 09/03-2011 have my computer gone in bluescreen six times since, and just in 6hrs four times. it doesn't matter if im playing a game or if the pc just runs a few programs. i havn't plugged in new hardware or installed new software since the the windows update. i'll get the same message in the bluescreen Driver_Power_State_Failure and i have tried to open the dump file but cant understand whats wrong. can someone please help me.

Re: BSOD Driver power state Failure

Hi -

Run chkdsk /r on all HDDs
Run HDD diags - http://www.techsupportforum.com/2828431-post7.html

If SeaTools for DOS long test passes, run Driver Verifier.

Driver Verifier - Driver Verifier - Windows 7 & Vista (BSOD-related)

Driver Verifier needs to run 24 hours minimum or until it BSODs your system, whichever is less. Then . . .

Provide full system info - Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions - Windows 7 & Vista

Re: BSOD Driver power state Failure

Just tried the driver vertifier and got bluescreen but no driver power state failure, and this bluescreen code:
BCCode: c4
BCP1: 00000000000000F6
BCP2: 00000000000000E0
BCP3: FFFFFA800D469B30
BCP4: FFFFF8800934B809
OS Version: 6_1_7601
Service Pack: 1_0
Product: 256_1
this is not the same bluescreen code i got before..!

 

[Jonathan_King]

Re: BSOD Driver power state Failure

The C4 bugcheck means Driver Verifier did its job well, and found a faulty driver. Could you please attach the new dump file?

Re: BSOD Driver power state Failure

Thank you.

The crash points to gdrv.sys, which is a Gigabyte energy saving program driver. I'm not sure whether it belongs to AutoGreen or EnergySaver2; remove them both and see what happens.

Re: BSOD Driver power state Failure

i've tried it, but got the bsod again. i was running battlefield bad company 2 and xmbc and suddenly the bsod came!!

 

[Jonathan_King]

Re: BSOD Driver power state Failure

We have a new BSOD now, unrelated to the previous ones. This is being caused by a bug in PunkBuster, which has not been definitively resolved yet. Try all the suggestions here: BSOD while playing BFBC2 - Page 2 - Windows 7 Forums
