Blank screen of death while wake up from standby/turning on the screen

Hi everyone,

From last few weeks I'm having this strange and annoying blank screen of death. I could just see a blank screen (not a blue screen) while either waking up computer from sleep or while trying to turn on the display by moving cursor/typing something(waking up from power saver mode of display, I set display to be of after few minutes of inactivity). So essentially screen becomes total blank. Just once or twice I saw this BSOD "DRIVER POWER STATE FAILURE" but for all other times my screen is just blank. I could see the Hard Disk activity LED on during this blank screen. And almost after all subsequent boots, I could see "Windows has recovered from unexpected shutdown/serious error - Check for solution" message.

System - Windows 7 Pro x64 with all latest recommended and security updates
CPU - i7 2630QM
GPU - nVidia GT525M
MoBo - Factory default for Dell XPS L502X

First I suspected its because of my nVidia GT525M GPU drivers (I was using official latest drivers 320.49), so I completely uninstalled them with regular uninstall + DriverSweeper 2.1.0 from Guru3D.com. I did not install any nVidia/display drives since then. But just now I got another blank screen after it. Also I started connecting my PC to an old Sony Bravia TV with HDMI cable and that time the automatic installation of drivers failed. That is my second point of possible problem. I've been using CCleaner to clean the unwanted registry entries and revo uninstaller for almost every uninstallation. Still the issue persists. Thats why I decided to write this post. I am attaching dump file I just created using SF_Diagnostic_Tool.exe It would be great if anyone could help or give any comments.

Thanks a lot!
Cheers,

Hi Arc,

Thank you so much for reply. I'm on updating it right away and will let you know the results.

Cheers!

The BSOD is caused by Intel(R) Centrino(R) Wireless-N 1030 driver.

And the driver is old.

Update it from https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Default.aspx

And the nusb3xhc.sys, Renesas Electronics USB 3.0 Host Controller Driver is too old.

Code:

Update it either from OEM, or from RENESAS/NEC Drivers & Firmwares

Let us know the results.

I updated drivers but error still persists. I got error 3 times, rather I got blank screen of death thrice. Could anyone please comment? I am attaching latest dump.

Thank you!

Thanks Arc. Now trying. Will post results. Meanwhile I received this message "Windows has recovered from Unexpected Shutdown" with following data just few minutes ago.

Thanks for the reply.
