BSOD caused by ntoskrnl.exe
HI
I bough this Acer V3-571G-9435 laptop on Aug 20, 2012 and replaced the original HDD with OCZ vertex 3 240GB SSD before I star it up. I installed Win7 Home Premium 64 bit version.
Here is the hardware information of the laptop:
CPU: intel i7-3610QM
Memory: Kingston DDR3-1333 2GB & A-Data DDR3-1333 4GB
Graphic card: nVidia GT640M
SDD: OCZ vertex 3 240GB
HDD: Seagate ST9500325AS 500GB 5400 RPM 8MB Cache 2.5" SATA
I have experienced BSOD three times caused by DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE related with ntoskrnl.exe.
The first BSOD on Aug 24 was probably related with a heavy CPU usage of a crsytallographic computation. I realized one of the eight threads was 100% used for a couple minutes before the crash.
I replaced optical drive with the original HDD on Aug 25 and updated the bios.
Two BSOD happened today and I wonder if they are related with drivers and how to fix them.
Thank you.
