BSOD Driver_State_Failure Stop 0x9F (Even After Format)

I've had this problem for about a month or so now, every time I resume from hibernation mode on my laptop I get a BSOD after around 10 minutes + (Never really timed if it's the same value EVERY time). I ended up formatting my pc yesterday and also downloaded a software that automatically updates all the drivers on my pc, yet to no avail. This is pretty frustrating to me as both a graphic designer and a student as now I'm afraid to take my laptop to school/work and risking losing important data.

Also, chrome has had a similar problem handling flash after hibernation mode (Seemed funny to me, having all these problems occur just after hibernation mode, but I'm not sure if it's linked or not)

I haven't installed any games till now and don't really run heavy programs apart from Photoshop, Mozilla Thunderbird (if you can call that 'heavy'), and Skype. I was careful as to how many programs to download just in case the problem persists, which it did.

Thanks in advance guys :)

Edit: My Laptop Is A Dell XPS 15z

Welcome to SevenForums

There are no dump files in the attachment
Please follow: Dump Files - Configure Windows to Create on BSOD

PS: May we ask what security software is installed on your system?
And, is this a personal lappy or corporate one?
Warranty status?

2. Click on Edit System Spec

Keep us posted, thanks

First of all, thanks for the warm welcome :)

Secondly, a few points as per request:

• Well the "Memory.dmp" file is 500mb+ it seems (Do I set it to 'small dump file' instead of 'kernel'?
• System Specs Have Been Updated :)
• Warranty expired a month or two back
• I don't have any antivirus programs installed
• SFC Didn't find any problems, running HDD scan as soon as I finish writing this post
• It is a personal laptop not a corporate one
• I disabled all programs at startup (Even drivers, should i enable those?)

Thanks for the support mate :)
