BSOD when PC shuts down with USB HDD attached
For some years I have used an external HDD (USB) as a backup device, and wrote a script which, when backing up is complete, shuts down the PC. This has worked for at least five years without a hitch.
The past week however, I have started to get a BSOD - DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE; 0x09F - when the PC shuts down. If I shut down without the HDD plugged in, no problem. The HDD itself seems fine and the backups complete OK.
I haven't installed any Windows updates that might account for this, so any idea why a stable system may suddenly start behaving like this?
I attach minidumps for the last two instances...
Many thanks,
Martin
