BSOD ntoskrnl.exe+2e45f (DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE)

No. I turned it off right before I sent those files earlier today.

I just wanted to be sure.

I just wanted to check in and let you know I think I may have solved the problem...at least for now. After the last incident with the WSCommCntr4.exe crash, I searched Autodesk for problems/solutions with that executable and discovered a workaround. Since following the steps outlined in the link below, I have not had any problems with my cpu maxing out or crashes. I would like to give it another two or three weeks just to see before I mark this as solved.

Here is the link to the Autodesk Fix for the WSCommcntr4.exe:

Thanks again for all your help!

Great, I'm glad you have it working. Well done. Once you have determined that your problem is resolved, please mark this thread as solved. Congratulations on a good job.

Well, I thought the problem had been solved since it's been over 6 months with no issues. I started getting the exact same warning signs that the BSOD was on its way. Maybe it's something different this time. I ran the dm log collector and attaching the files. Had to be on a Monday.....smh..

Thanks in advance for any and all help.

VR,
Kyle

hello, glad to hear from you again. Just not in the BSOD section. I checked your error reports and it seems you have a few ACAD errors, which I am sure you know is your AutoCAD, but you have had quite a few of the WSCommcntr4.exe errors.

This dump file says this

Code:

DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE (9f)
A driver has failed to complete a power IRP within a specific time.
Arguments:
Arg1: 0000000000000003, A device object has been blocking an Irp for too long a time
Arg2: fffffa8007d55440, Physical Device Object of the stack
Arg3: fffff80000b9a3d8, nt!TRIAGE_9F_POWER on Win7 and higher, otherwise the Functional Device Object of the stack
Arg4: fffffa800acb5bd0, The blocked IRP

Code:

DRVPOWERSTATE_SUBCODE:  3
IRP_ADDRESS: fffffa800acb5bd0
DEVICE_OBJECT: fffffa8007a65030
DRIVER_OBJECT: fffffa8007db4cb0
IMAGE_NAME:  btfilter.sys
DEBUG_FLR_IMAGE_TIMESTAMP:  4f67e4fe
MODULE_NAME: btfilter
FAULTING_MODULE: fffff8800642c000 btfilter

That is the Atheros Bluetooth Driver

Also listed was

Code:

fffff800`00b9a868  fffff880`04eb61dfUnable to load image athrx.sys, Win32 error 0n2
*** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for athrx.sys
*** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for athrx.sys
 athrx+0x841df

Which should be expected and

Code:

fffff800`00b9a510  fffff880`04aa5c8c*** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for vpchbus.sys
*** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for vpchbus.sys
 vpchbus+0xcc8c

That is your Virtual PC Host Bus Driver (Microsoft Virtual PC)
