Win7 Ultimate x64, BSOD when waking up from automatic monitor shut-off
I built this system last week and passed all my preliminary stability testing (20 passes of LinX, 2 hours of Furmark, etc)
Everythings grand, except i've had two hard crashes so far, both related to recovering from the automatic powersaver "monitor turns off after 10 minutes." The first time was two days ago, when it was idle for maybe 20 minutes, and when I walked over to my desk and went to grab my phone I lightly nudged the mouse enough for it to kick back up. Except it didnt, my monitor power light switched from orange (on, no signal) to blue (on, working), and my video card fan immediately pushed itself to 100% for about a minute, then stopped for a few seconds and whirred back up to full blast, with nothing but a black screen despite the power light turning blue. In order to stop it I had to hold the power button for 5 seconds to do a hard shutdown.
I wrote it off as a one-off typical system hiccup as everything settles in until just a few minutes ago, waking it up from the powersaver state multiple times since then. Again, I walked away from my PC for a while and the monitor turned itself off as normal. When I came back and moved the mouse to wake it up, nothing. So I hit keys on the keyboard, nothing. Unplugged/replugged the DVI, nothing. Walked over to my laptop and accessed shared network files on the PC with absolutely no problem, opened and closed the DVD drive and it even made the "reading" motions as if it was trying to autorun a disk. Then I noticed that none of the hotkeys on my Sidewinder X4 keyboard were working (changing macro sets, toggle numlock, etc). The backlights were off but the status LEDs were fine as was the red mouse laser. Plugged in an extra mouse, and it got power just fine, but didnt make a difference.
So I figured it was the keyboard drivers possibly locking up the system and went to disconnect the keyboard and mouse. Instant BSOD, all I caught before the autoreboot was DRIVER POWER STATE FAILURE before it restarted itself. Of course, there isnt much useful in the error logs either. Really hoping this is something stupid like "update your SSD firmware" and not "RMA your motherboard," this build was already a total nightmareAny help you guys can give is appreciated, the minidump/log zip is attached below.
For the record, sleep and hibernate are both completely turned off.
