Windows 7: Driver State Power Failure BSOD

Bobojeb · 25 Aug 2010

Hello, I am having random BSOD crashes mostly when browsing on internet.

My Build is
- x64
- Original OEM
- > 1 month old
- > 1 month old, never reinstalled.

Any help is more than welcome.

Hello and Welcome !

Seems like lot of issues are going on. First thing i noticed is sptd.sys duplex driver which i well known for BSOD. I would recommend to uninstall it follow this article DuplexSecure - FAQ

Also it looks to me like it's an issue with AiCharger.sys - an Asus program named AiCharger (may also be a part of the Asus AISuite or ASUS Ai Charger). Then uninstall the current copy of the program and install the freshly downloaded copy.

Run a Hardware Diagnostic (Memory and Hard Drive) follow this link for instructions Hardware Diagnostic !! « Captain Debugger

The StarWind AE Service service failed to start due to the following error:
The system cannot find the file specified.

**cluberti** · 25 Aug 2010

I'm noticing that in the IRP, even though this is a minidump with limited data, there's what appears to be a symantec driver there (well, specifically Norton Internet Security). Would you be able to remove NIS and re-test? The "driver" that can cause an inconsistent power state doesn't always have to be an actual hardware driver - it can be (and looks like it may be) a *filter* driver, specifically a *network* filter driver, SYMTDIV.sys (NIS's TDI interface).

Bobojeb · 26 Aug 2010

Thanks for quick responds guys!

I followed your suggestions and removed the possible causes, and I am glad to announce that everything seems stable so far and I haven't experienced a single BSOD crash. Moreover, I left memtest running for the whole night, and did the hard drive diagnostic as well, which luckily ended without any errors.

Thanks again for help good people

And if anything happens I'll let you now right away.
