Debugging :: Driver Power State Failure Error - BSOD Using Windows 8.1
Jun 13, 2014
I'm using a ASUS S56CA ultrabook which runs VERY SLOWLY (takes 5+ minutes to boot up)! OS is Windows 8.1 with ALL the latest Windows Updates installed.
I get the BSOD error "Driver_Power_State_Failure" usually when trying to enter sleep mode or using the Instant ON feature from ASUS .. neither of them work properly so after researching online I've decided to REMOVE the Intel Rapid Storage Technology (Intel RST) RAID Driver .. reboot and it's still VERY slow to boot. I've also tried to d/l new drivers from the ASUS website (only BIOS and few others) which were also installed but still get same results. The Intel HD 4000 Graphics is also out of date but I cannot d/l the update from the intel website .. shows file not available?
It also does NOT shut down completely .. select Shut Down from the menu and screen goes BLACK but power never goes off .. so I must manually hold the power button 5 seconds to shut down.
Finally, I've turned OFF ALL power saving features in Power Options .. no sleep .. no turn HDD off, etc.
I need to know how to fix this system so it does NOT take 5 minutes to boot up.
I'm also attaching the last 4 minidump files for review .. plus I'll use the SF utility tonight to get the other suggested files.

I just got my ASUS G750 from Bestbuy a few weeks ago. I've been encountering this same BSOD since I got it (after installing programs). Lately it seems to be happening when I close a game from the battle.net app and attempt to open another. Other than that it almost seems to happen completely at random.

I recently got a BSOD before this BSOD the BSOD happened yesterday was kernel_data_input_error and I think I have fixed it? but the computer is still a little slow, and I noticed my Disk usage is most of the time at 100% then the apps(Browsers,task managers etc2) doesn't respond and now This BSOD Driver Power State Failure happened. I read that it's about an incompatible driver, but I don't know how to detect an incompatible driver because I refreshed windows 8.

After having to do a complete system restore (automatic repair loop) my computer now comes up with the Driver Power State Failure BSOD when restarting, shutting down and turning on normally works fine.
I don't really want to try and navigate through all the windows updates as that requires a lot of restarting, and usually some sort of software conflict means it all gets put back anyway.
As far as I can remember, the 47015-01.dmp and 41125-01.dmp occurred 8 hours earlier than the file creation time, as my time zone was set to UTC-8, and i'm on GMT.

I just recently got a BSOD on my laptop DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE. I'm also guessing this is the reason that my computer seems to not sleep consistently.

Did a clean install of Windows 8.1 - I previously had Windows 7. I have already had 4 'Driver Power State Failure' BSODs. I have attached the files from the SF Diagnostic tool.
NB: This is a custom built PC with an Asus P8H61-M LX3 Plus R2.0 mobo.

I recently bought a ASUS G750jm laptop. in the past 30 days of receiving it it has BSOD six times.
Five have been caused by a DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE and the most recent was
SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED. I have tried researching and calling in to ASUS.

BSOD error. I've read through some posts with similar errors and I've done my best to try some of the basic solutions for this (i.e., update drivers) but can't seem to pin down the actual problem.
I woke up this morning and I had a Driver Power State Failure message on my computer. I've spent all day trying to get it fixed and I'm about to throw this 3 month old laptop through the window (I'm running a Lenovo Y510P with Windows 8.1).
In addition to the BSOD when I try to shut down my computer it never actually shuts down. The screen will go black for about 5 minutes but the light on the power button stays on and the computer starts back up again on its own. However it never actually gets to the desktop. The circle of dots just keeps going and going and after I force it to shut down twice the Automatic Repair kicks in but it says it couldn't fix the issue. When I enter the advanced options and do a system restore I can finally get to the desktop. When I try doing a system restore from the desktop it will get to the end and I get an error message saying it didn't work.
When I get to the desktop some things just don't work right. Right click on a folder, clicking on the file explorer pinned to the taskbar, etc. locks explorer up for a minute then nothing happens.
I've also ran SFC and a it said some files were corrupt and couldn't be repaired. Attached are my log files.

I have been using my asus laptop but recently started blue screening. When trying to shut it down the screen will go black, but the system lights remain on and it remains running, however irresponsive. It also began showing a blue screen with the warning "Driver power state failure".

I have had many BSOD's lately. Most are occurring when starting games such as World of Warcraft, but they have occurred during other processes as well. The error message is for a Driver Power State Failure.

I recently bought a Asus VS229H-P monitor and when I plug it into my laptop via HDMI a couple things happen. One of my cpu cores maxes out, with the load occasionally shifting between cores, and the machine takes a couple minutes to switch from the GTX 770m to the integrated graphics. If I wait about 5 minutes the machine will Blue Screen with a Driver Power State Error. If instead I unplug the HDMI cable it will Blue Screen with a ACPI BIOS Error. After the machine restarts I'm able to use the monitor just fine without crashes. Even before the crash the monitor works.
The particular dump file that I had the SF tool grab was created after I plugged in the HDMI cable when the machine was off and then turned the machine on. The WinDbg tool says pci.sys is the probable cause. When I cause the machine to have the ACPI error I believe it then says acpi.sys is the cause.

I am experiencing a severe problem with my laptop, a pretty new ASUS S550CB. It started two weeks ago and I really cannot figure out what is the cause. The problem is that the laptop is no longer unable to wake up from sleep or hybernation modes. If it goes to sleep, after it wakes up it is able to show the login screen (sometimes) but when you're typing the password it freezes and after a while, a blue screen saying that the computer stopped working due to a Driver Power State Failure is shown. A minidump is saved and the computer is restarted. The whole operation takes a looong time. I also notice that boot times are much longer even when waking up from power off state.
From an initial investigation, the problem seemed to sit in iaStorA.sys (Intel Rapid Start Technology driver) not handing power modes correctly. So I tried to upgrade it to the latest version, and no luck. I tried to uninstall it, and uninstall also the ExpressCache software that the laptop came with, but no luck.
I then installed again first IRST latest driver, no luck. I then added ExpressCache on top of it (as stated in ExpressCache install instructions), no luck.
I do not have a recovery point saved before the problem started to happen (aroud 18 feb). I have tried to uninstall all windows updates received from 15 feb onwards but guess what? No luck as well.
The laptop all of a sudden became almost unusable, sleep and hybernation no longer work at all, and the SDD and IRST were a main driver in my choice of buying ASUS S550CB.
I attach to this post the outcome of SF Diagnostic Tool run today.

I have been experiencing a BSOD after I attempt a restart (with the restart option) the computer but not when I shutdown and manually restart.
I also just had my first Kernel Data Inpage Error BSOD today when I woke up my computer from sleep.
My operating system is currently Windows 8.1 Pro x64

issue with my laptop where I can't allow it to enter sleep mode or else it will restart/appear to have restarted the next time I wake it up. At first I thought it might be a power options issue, but I made sure that the computer was set to sleep and not restart when I close the lid. I've checked the bluescreen viewer and the cause of the restart seems to come from a driver power state failure coming from ntoskrnl.exe+1fcc1e, hal.dll+6a37, and storport.sys+33f0.
I've already run sfc/scannow to check for damaged files and I was also able to replace them using a DISM command, so now scanning the computer doesn't run into any errors, but this driver error still persists.
Sidenote: The driver errors mainly started after I reinstalled Kaspersky onto my computer to fix some issues that I had with it. Before that I was getting a couple of kernel data inpage errors, the latest of which occurred June 1.

I've been getting persistent BSOD's when attempting to wake up my computer (Lenovo Twist u230) from sleep. I am also sporadically getting Kernal Data Inpage Error BSOD while using my computer.
My machine is Windows 8, installed from factory with a recent refresh done. SFC /SCANNOW and DISM both come up clean. All of my hardware diagnostics are also clean.

Ever since I've built this computer and installing the latest drivers, I've run into a problem where the computer BSODs with a "DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE" error, and it happens whenever it's been off or in sleep mode for a long time. I've tried looking up solutions and most say that a bad driver is the issue, but the device manager doesn't show me any problems.

BSOD occurring every few hours, seemingly at random. It doesn't seem to matter whether the computer is idling or whether I am running a lot of applications.
I haven't been able to find anything (for example, no issues appear under Device Manager).
Windows 8.1, 64-bit, running two nvidia cards in sli (would not be surprised if the issue is related to either/both graphic cards). I will attach the SF diagnostic file.

I'm having a BSOD problem. After walking computer from sleep mode, within 1-2 minutes it will get a BSOD with the "driver power state failure" error and restart, but interestingly I never get the error the moment I wake up the computer. I'm using a Lenovo IdeaPad Y510P with Windows 8.1 64-bit. I already tried uninstalling the Intel HD 4000 driver, restarting computer, and installing the one on Lenovo's site (as this was suggested on the Lenovo forum as a common fix) but it didn't work.
The problem only started occurring after one of the following:
- Updating Malwarebytes to latest last week
- Installing a Windows update last week (there were 3 installed components, 1 of them was an Intel HD 4000 driver update, forgot what the other 2 were)
- Updating GeForce Experience and latest NVIDIA Graphics Driver (337.88), it included NVIDIA PhysX System Software 9.13.1220

New to the Forums, but not new to these errors. been having them for a while now, it's one or the other and happens about once a day or so, but with the fast restarts and such it never sets me back too far, but I still wish to fix this all.
Included is the SF file for your looking purposes.

I have had about 5 crashes in the last month. Below are 2 of them from the whocrashed report. I tried googling this issue, but most of what I found is specific to a driver. My whocrashed report does not mention a specific driver. This is a Dell XPS 13 which I bought only about a month ago. Also, I should mention that in Device Manager, there is a yellow exclamation next to "Generic PnP monitor" and when I click properties, under device status it says:
"Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)
{Unable to Load Device Driver}
%hs device driver could not be loaded.
Error Status was 0x%x"
I do not use an external monitor, so I'm guessing it's referring to my laptop screen. Not sure if this is relevant to the crashes or not.

I sometimes get "Driver Power State Failure" after logging into Windows 8 (not 8.1).
I believe it is my Sierra Wireless 760S Aircard 4G modem causing the issue but I'm not entirely sure, and sometimes it doesn't detect it until I unplug and reconnect the usb cable after booting.
