BSODs, Laptop malfunctions after waking from sleep, lack of features
System: Fresh Windows 7 x64 Installation (in Dualboot with Win10)
I have a few missing drivers (notably Ethernet driver (Realtek FE family, can't install the driver because INF file does not support installation and when pointing Windows Driver installation wizard to the location where the driver is it tells me that no driver could be found)) and I have installed a few drivers I needed either from telling the Driver wizard to look for drivers in my dualboot of Windows 10 (D:\System32\Drivers / DRVSTORE / Driver Store) and that allowed me to install Intel HD Graphics, and I also installed the Atheros Wifi Driver.
Apart from the lack of features that are available in my Windows 10 installation (that I'll be able to fix by finding out what driver I am lacking, such as a driver for my touchpad (which works but using two fingers does not allow me to scroll, etc)) I am also experiencing BSODs (so far only in Sleep mode (after closing the lid)), which BlueScreenView tells me are DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILUREs (I will attach zip file with the dmps) and points to ntoskrnl.exe as address in stack. As far as I am concerned, it is a driver error.
The BSODs only happened twice so far, each time with the computer in Sleep mode.
After waking the computer, the mouse connected through the USB port (which normally functions perfectly without any special driver, it's just a generic USB mouse) does not work anymore, although power is still supplied to it (as it lights up).
After waking up the entire system becomes unresponsive, the CPU usage increases (although I only saw this once) to 100% (although all processes report to use about 5% of the CPU at max) which stays like that until a reboot.
In device manager, the following devices appear to be not installed properly (have a yellow triangle):
Ethernet Controller
Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller
Apart from these BSODs and extremely slow down performance causing the need to reboot every single time, the computer works great
