BSOD awakening the display

Hello, LookingForHelp1 welcome to the forums. Sorry you had to wait, but it gets kind of busy in here. I will try to help you, but I need you to do something for me.

Please fill out your System Specs

   Information

Your System Specs will help us to help you, and doing it in this manner will make them available to all helpers in every post and keep us from hunting for them. We ask that you fill them out in as much detail as possible including Desktop or Laptop, Model number if it is an OEM computer and all components with the Manufacturer and Model number if possible.

If you will go to your last post and click the 'System Specs' in the bottom left of the post, you will find a link to update your system specs. Please fill those out in as much detail as possible, making sure to click save at the bottom of the page. If you would like to know what we would like, you can click 'My System Specs' at the bottom left of this post to see mine. If you do not know what your components are, this will help you accomplish this task. System Info - See Your System Specs Please include Manufacturer and Model for the components and be sure to include the PSU and CPU Cooler.

You only had one dump file dated 05/21 This is what it listed

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: fffffa80095795a0, 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: fffffa8007d942e0, The blocked IRP

Code:

 
BugCheck 9F, {3, fffffa80095795a0, fffff80000b9a3d8, fffffa8007d942e0}
*** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for atikmpag.sys
*** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for atikmpag.sys
Probably caused by : atikmpag.sys

That is your graphics driver, as I am sure you know. Once I know your system specs, I can give you a few suggestions. Meanwhile, please make sure your computer is configured for Small Memory Dumps
https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/174459-dump-files-configure-windows-create-bsod.html

Also, please
open an elevated command prompt ( click start, type cmd in the search box, right click on the cmd entry and select run as administrator) in the black box that opens, copy/paste sfc /scannow. If you decide to type it, notice the space between the sfc and the /. It is a system file checker which will scan your system files and attempt to correct any missing or corrupt files. What we want are the results to say windows found no integrity violations. If it says files were found but could not be repaired, close the box, reboot and run it again, after opening the administrative command prompt. You may have to reboot and run it three times for it to repair all system files. If it can't repair them after 3 reboots, let us know.

Could you tell me what you have plugged into your USB ports, other than a Keyboard and mouse. I noticed a lot of USB errors along the way to the dump file. If you are using a wireless USB Dongle, that could be a big part of it.

Thank you essenbe for your reply. I'll detail in this post what I've done:

I added system specs using the automatic tool the site provide. The computer was built in a local company, so I'm not entirely sure what kind of PSU or CPU cooler it has. I could pay a visit to the store, but in such case I'll probably take the computer with me and hope they will be able to fix it.

I changed the configuration to Small Memory Dumps, so if the BSOD will happen again I'll update with the new dump files.

I scanned the system files 4 times (As I didn't fully read your instructions, between the first and the second I didn't reboot). In all of them I got the message: "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some them". I have the .log files of the scans, so I could try and upload them if it will help (But they require administrator access, so I'm not entirely sure what exactly to upload).

Finally, I have 3 things connected to my USB port: cam, a wireless thing for keyboard and mouse, and a USB flash drive which is mentioned in my specs.

It's no problem that you didn't reboot between runs of sfc, did you reboot between the runs after you realized you were supposed to? It matters because sometimes the scan can only fix so many and the fixes it does do not actually occur until you reboot. Sometimes it is because some fixes have to happen before the rest can be fixed. So, if you didn't reboot, you can do it again and reboot. Nothing was harmed.

I see you have a Gigabyte Motherboard. If you have any Gigabyte utilities, please uninstall every one of them. They are know to cause BSODs.

This is your current Graphics driver

Code:

atikmpag
start             end                 module name
fffff880`044b4000 fffff880`0454a000   atikmpag T (no symbols)

I would like you to reinstall your graphics driver to either a newer WHQL driver or and older WHQL driver. I will also give you some suggestions to get a clean install and not install the things you do not need or use. Sometimes those things can cause driver conflicts. The only thing you really need is the Graphics Driver. Just go to Control Panel and Uninstall a program and uninstall CCC.

I am going to give you some links that will help you get a good clean install and not have any drivers you don't need that will conflict with other drivers. Download a WHQL driver from https://www.sevenforums.com/graphic-c...ndows-7-a.html . Once you have them downloaded, uninstall your current driver from control panel. next clean up any left over drivers from following this tutorial Drivers - Clean Left over Files after Uninstalling and select only ATI Display Drivers. After you have done that and rebooted, install the new driver, only select custom install and install only what you have to. Very few people need most of what they include. You do not need the audio/HDMI drivers as you already have that in your Motherboard drivers. Unless there is some reason you need them, the only thing you really need is the Display Driver.

Try that and let me know how it goes. If you run sfc again and it cannot repair the files, copy the CBS files to your desktop, then right click them and select send to then compressed ZIP folder. You should be able to upload them here on your next post. If you can't let me know and I will tell you what you need to do. They are protected and you will either warn you but allow you to continue or you will have to enter the administrator password. It's OK, you are not doing anything other than copying them.

The link is just here but is a direct link to AMD, so that is no problem. Yes, I just looked and found you were correct, that should not be the case. I would suggest you download the 14.2 WHQL driver.

There are many games which are poorly coded and give a lot of issues. That's why there are so many patches with a lot of them. It could very well be the game. I have had that a few times and usually end up uninstalling the game. Through Steam you can verify the files to see if it is installed correctly and if there are any corrupted files.

Before doing a clean install, try uploading the CBS files and I'll ask someone to look at them to see if they can be repaired. See option 3 which is here SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker. Once you get the files on your Desktop, right click them, select send to > compressed zip folder and upload the zip folder here. this is how to upload them
Screenshots and Files - Upload and Post in Seven Forums

If they are too large to upload here, upload them to a public folder at Onedrive or Dropbox and I will ask for help.

Ok, it may take a while to get some help, but I'm asking now.
