BSOD Driver power state failure

Welcome Jack, please follow the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions :) .


The dump file uploaded is a 0x9F which is DRIVER POWER STATE FAILURE that happens in
transitions between power states most commonly S0 (ON state) > S3 (Sleep state)
or vice-verse. You can read more HERE.

The most common cause is a device driver but sometimes it's the hardware itself
that is at fault.

Code:

BugCheck 9F, {3, fffffa8003c9d060, fffff80004ba84d8, fffffa80049afb80}

Probably caused by : pci.sys ◄//Being falsely accused.

Code:

!irp fffffa80049afb80
Irp is active with 4 stacks 3 is current (= 0xfffffa80049afce0)
 No Mdl: No System Buffer: Thread 00000000:  Irp stack trace.

Not surprisingly the driver is very very old!

Code:

lmvm netw5v64
start             end                 module name

Thanks :).

It appears to be the same issue, intel wireless is notorious for causing this bug check.
Please use your Service Tag to find the find the latest driver Dell is offering (Dell PC's are picky sometimes).

• Dell Support

Also follow this tutorial and try to try and mitigate the issue:

• PCIe Link State Power Management - Turn On or Off in Windows

While you're downloading drivers, update these as well:

Code:

lmvm atikmdag
Browse full module list
start             end                 module name
fffff880`052f2000 fffff880`05909000   atikmdag T (no symbols)
