DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE + ntoskrnl.exe Blue Screen of Death yet again.

Alright I know I have a previous topic of this but the problem has resurfaced. I could only hibernate once and then when I tried again it went into the black screen and hung up until it gave me the same bsod. I'll attach the crash dump and debug text files. Once again I updated my Realtek WLAN drivers and it helped one time and now the problem has returned back to the way it was. I just never seem to catch a break from this.

 

This should really have been a continuation of the original thread.

To troubleshoot this error further, I think you'll need to use Driver Verifier - it's not something I have a working knowledge of, sorry.

General troubleshooting for BSOD's: get all drivers updated, only update Windows at Windows Update, anything else, get the latest driver from the hard/software maker, if at all possible - they'll be more recent with more bugfixes and sometimes new features too. The following list contains all the drivers loaded when the BSOD occurred:-

The files/drivers above are listed oldest first, any without dates may be original MS files or they maybe from elsewhere. The coloured drivers are all original Windows (upper) and Service Pack (lower) and are very unlikely to be the cause of this. You need to check all the other files/drivers to see if there's a later one available. If you check the properties tab on each of these files in Explorer, you should see the author's name/company listed, it'll make it easier to track down updates - using Google can do the same job but there'll be a slew of hits to offers of downloads for the files, ignore them.

Any Firewall/Antivirus/Security drivers should be thoroughly investigated, as should any drivers for virtual machines/drives - these are implicated in a large number of BSOD's.

 

I'm a bit of a techie so I'll know how to use Driver Verifier. I'll report back with the results and dump file.

 

Alright here is what I did..I did a fresh reinstall of the OS. It is still Windows 7 Ultimate x64 bit just without the service pack. I got the same blue screen even before I updated my computer using Windows Update and it still points to ntoskrnl.exe as the cause. I'll upload the debugger and dump files once again. I'm beginning to question hardware issues at this point.

 

It must be hardware, undo any overclocking, ensure you have everything in the BIOS set correctly for best compatibility; check for any similar problems with owners of the same motherboard and RAM.

 

I also can't rule out any system file corruption. I'll run system file checker overnight and report back.
