Windows 7: PC BSODs randomly - Driver Power State Failure

ihatethis · 20 Oct 2011

Hi there. I was recommended this site by a friend. I have had a problem over the last few weeks. It seems like it has got worse, with my laptop crashing daily. It's getting really annoying. Today, I had found that the PC had BSOD'd with the title DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE. I have followed the instructions, and have attached my BSOD dump file. I am not entirely sure, but it started happening soon after I cleaned the fan of my laptop.

I am using Windows 7 Home Premium x32 retail version (service pack 1)
Age: Not sure. I think I bought it in 08.
Age of OS installation: Again, not sure. I installed it soon after it came out in England. Bought it via MS student deals.

My specs are:
intel core 2 duo P7350 2.0GHz
4gb RAM
320gb HDD
nvidia geforce 9600m gt

Please help me identify the problem. Thank you in advance.

Many of your acer related drivers seem to be outdated, this is likely causing the problem you are experiencing.
It also seems windows defender has decided to be problematic for you.
First I would go to acer to ensure you have all the latest drivers they have available for your model.

Second I would run this to check the system file integrity.
SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

Hi Magnuscreed,

I checked for new drivers from Acer. All of their stuff for my laptop is nearly 2 years old now. Seems like they hardly update their pages. One thing I didn't have is the thumbprint sensore, so i'm downloading that at the moment. Do you think it's possible to download drivers from the company who makes the parts? ie Intel, nvidia etc. I don't know about the acer empowering technology. Could I take this from another acer laptop?

I tried your second instruction, and it said that there were no integrity violations. Do you want the log of that?

download the everest program to see what kind of video sound or whatever else you got on your pc is made of find out from that program i just mention to you ( everest) and go ahead and download the nwest driver for ur machine come back with your results !

Take care !

Funnily, after I posted previously, I decided to do a fresh install of my gfx drivers and the crashing has gone. I have also uninstalled MS Security Essentials and have gone for AVG.

I'm not going to mark this as solved as the crashing may come back.

Maguscreed · 26 Oct 2011

glad you seem stable again.
As I said it appeared to be driver related, so hopefully you are settled now.
