BSOD when PC goes into sleep mode

TheOnion said:

I also had a problem with my network connection not functioning upon reboot and removing the driver from device manager and Scanning for hardware changes fixed that. It found an older version of the Atheros driver that didn't cause problems. However, this did not fix my sleep mode issue.

I know agree with ickymay that its my antivirus.I am running a trial of Eset smart security. It runs out in a few weeks and I will go back to Avira Antivir. Sleep mode worked fine on Avira.

Eset makes a good antivirus product but Ive had nothing but problems with it on Windows 7 64bit. Before with Nod32 4.0 and now with Smart Security 4.2.

MSE is also very good and stable , don't forget

ASACPI.sys is known to cause BSOD's: ASACPI.sys belongs to the Asus ATK0110 ACPI Utility (14/05/2009 is latest available)

Ok so the plot thickens. I removed ESET smart security and installed Microsoft Security Essentials. I then re enabled sleep mode and walked away from my PC to see if it worked. A few hours later I come back and the PC is not in sleep mode, it's off.

It blue screened again. The latest mini dump file attached.

well it's the same power state failure error so we haven't found the culprit yet although I would advise you don't change too much on your system or revert from what wev'e done yet ?

the next likely candidate I mentioned before is Acronis Disk Backup Software which you need to completely unninstall as you are using an old version which was also known to cause crashes in vista

as you can see these drivers are from 2007 which predates the introduction of windows 7

do that and monitor for crashes

Hello !!

Delete all the Minidump from that folder and Enable Driver Verifier Using Driver Verifier to identify issues with Drivers

Hope this helps,

I setup and ran the Driver Verifier. So far nothing.

post any more .dmp files so we can look for a trend and anymore clues

Fresh minidump file for you. I ran the driver verifier for hours and it did not blue screen. It made my system run like mud, but no blue screen. Then I put it in sleep mode because I was sleepy and it did what it always does: Monitor looses signal, backlight LEDs on keyboard go off and it will not come back from sleep. I left it alone and went to bed. In the morning the PC was off so I turned it back on. It booted though BIOS and froze on the loading windows screen. After a reboot it got to the loading windows screen and blue screened. Then it auto rebooted and loaded into windows fine,slow,but fine. I then turned off that cursed verifier and rebooted again. Windows runs like normal now.

Attached if the new mini dump file.

my thoughts are you have a driver which does not support sleep state and as driver verifier didn't crash or name a driver and this last dump has failed to catch the driver that caused the crash the only thing we can work with is driver age ?

nearly all of your drivers in the crash are from july 2009 and I am confident that they are not going to be the most current ?

please fill out your system specs such as mobo and ram makes and models etc then go to your motherboard manufacturers website and check you have all the latest drivers ?

unninstall Utorrent if you have it and please post a shortlist of your software installed including any third party firewalls etc ?

Oo and for now unninstall speedfan
