Windows 7: BSOD almost every night...

dmick · 16 Jul 2011

I need to let my PC on at night (to run some applications) and almost every morning (even during the day sometimes) i found it with a BSOD reporting a "driver power state failure" error.

I would be very grateful for any help (in the file attached are the outputs of the "BSOD Dump & System File Collection" app and the perfomance monitor report)

The Asus Charger Driver is the cause, update it ASUSTeK Computer Inc. -Support- Drivers and Download P6T
ASACPI.sys the 2005 version is a huge cause of BSODs

Information

The 2005 version of this driver is a known BSOD cause.
Please visit this link: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. -Support- Drivers and Download P7P55D LE
Scroll down to the Utilities category, then scroll down to the "ATK0110 driver for WindowsXP/Vista/Windows 7 32&64-bit" (it's about the 12th item down).
Download and install it.
Go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers to check and make sure that the ASACPI.sys file is date stamped from 2009 or 2010 (NOT 2005)

Please remove any CD virtualization programs such as Daemon Tools and Alcohol 120%. They use a driver, found in your dmp, sptd.sys, that is notorious for causing BSODs. Use this SPTD uninstaller when you're done: DuplexSecure - Downloads
You can use MagicDisc as an alternative.

Update Marvell Yukon driver
Marvell - Support

Code:

ASACPI.sys        fffff880`05967000    fffff880`0596f000    0x00008000    0x42476c4c    28/03/2005 06:30:36

Code:

sptd.sys        fffff880`01058000    fffff880`011ba000    0x00162000    0x4ceba9d9    23/11/2010 15:47:37

Code:

yk62x64.sys        fffff880`058c4000    fffff880`05929000    0x00065000    0x4ac07193    28/09/2009 12:19:31

Thank you yowan. I updated the Asus Charger Driver as you suggested, and prevented Daemon Tools to run automatically at start up (i often use it so i didn't uninstall it for now.) I will wait 1 or 2 days and let you know about the outcome.

PS: how could you pinpoint the ASACPI.sys driver from the files i posted?

Even if Daemon Tools is disabled the sptd.sys driver will still be loaded and can caused issues. ASACPI.sys was mentioned as the oldest driver in your minidump files
