Windows 7: "Driver Power State Failure"

biglos44 · 31 Dec 2012

Hello. I seem to be having the same problem as the original post...multiple BSOD per day with "Driver Power State Failure" listed as the reason. I do not want to assume the solution is the same as above until you take a look and advise. Thank you.

Welcome to SevenForums biglos44.

They look similar honestly.

McAfee is a frequent cause of BSOD-s, consider uninstalling it with the McAfee Removal Tool and replace with Microsoft Security Essentials (To test)

Code:

fffff880`037df000 fffff880`037fb000   mfeapfk.sys
fffff880`037b2000 fffff880`037df000   mfeavfk01.sy

Description here:

Code:

mfeavfk01.sy ==== McAfee Firewall Total Protection 2010 http://www.carrona.org/drivers/search.php?id=mfeavfk01.sy

mfeapfk.sys ==== McAfee http://www.carrona.org/drivers/search.php?id=mfeapfk.sys

How to uninstall or reinstall supported McAfee products using the Consumer Products Removal tool (MCPR)
- McAfee Removal Tool - McAfee Uninstaller

Code:

Start Menu\Programs\McAfee	Public:Start Menu\Programs\McAfee	Public
Start Menu\Programs\McAfee Security Scan Plus	Public:Start Menu\Programs\McAfee Security Scan Plus	Public
Start Menu\Programs\Spybot - Search & Destroy	Public:Start Menu\Programs\Spybot - Search & Destroy	Public

Spybot is not the best security software. It slows down the system.

Microsoft Security Essentials.

Recommended from a strict BSOD perspective, compatibility & stability compared to other antiviruses/internet security software. It is free and lightweight:-

Microsoft Security Essentials - Free Antivirus for Windows
Malwarebytes : Malwarebytes Anti-Malware removes malware including viruses, spyware, worms and trojans, plus it protects your computer
Good and Free system security combination.

Warning

Do not start the free trial of Malware Bytes; remember to deselect that option when prompted.

Run a full scan with both (separately) once downloaded, installed and updated.

Perform a System File Check:

Click on the start
Type CMD on Search
Left click and Run as Administrator
Type SFC /scannow
