| | BSODs and Restarts at random intervals I'm getting restarts and BSODs with no reliable/reproducible trigger. I have a 99% new computer, built within the last year: Windows 7 Ultimate x64 Core i7 870 16GB DDR3 RAM Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD3 MoBo The only pieces I'm reusing from my old rig are the monitors, and my DROBO. I'm afraid, looking at some of my error logs, that the problem might be with the DROBO. For those that don't know the (Drobo Home), it's an external hard drive enclosure that is similar to RAID, but doesn't require all of the drives to be the same size. Mine attaches via iSCSI, or SCSI over gigabit ethernet, direct cabled. I'm attaching my reports, and I would greatly appreciate any insight you guys might give me. Thanks in advance for your time. |

| | Some additional info I forgot in the original post: While I think that the Drobo is possibly to blame, I can't easily disconnect it and see if the issue changes. This failure happens every day or two, and MOST of the data I use on this computer lives on the Drobo, so I wouldn't really be able to use the machine without it attached. Suggestions? Running "WhoCrashed" gives me a lot of these: On Mon 11/7/2011 5:20:51 PM GMT your computer crashed crash dump file: C:\Windows\Minidump\110711-57782-01.dmp This was probably caused by the following module: ntoskrnl.exe (nt+0x7CC40) Bugcheck code: 0x9F (0x3, 0xFFFFFA800E1DD060, 0xFFFFF80000B9C518, 0xFFFFF9801BBC2E50) Error: DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE file path: C:\Windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe product: Microsoft® Windows® Operating System company: Microsoft Corporation description: NT Kernel & System Bug check description: This bug check indicates that the driver is in an inconsistent or invalid power state. This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem. The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver which cannot be identified at this time. Is there something wrong with my network/iSCSI drivers, maybe? I'm pretty sure I have them all updated. |

| | One more bit of info. When I was troubleshooting this problem a few months ago, I thought it might be a RAM problem, so I ran MemTest on each stick, changed some bus speeds, etc. Things seemed to stabilize afterwards, and indeed the machine resets less often now. Here is the output of "RamMon": HTML Code: RAMMon v1.0 Build: 1002 built with SysInfo v1.0 Build: 1006
