    BSOD - Driver Power State Failure Pt deaux


    I have already reported this and someone was kind enough to reply with several drive update suggestions.

    In repsonse to these suggestions I have gotten rid of Norton and am now using MS Security. I have also updated my guitarport drivers from Line6 to current.

    I have downloaded the exes from HP for:

    mdmxsdk.sys
    iaStor.sys
    nvbridge.kmd

    from HP and when I try to install them I get a msg that states that my system does not meet the minumum requirements and it terminates. I suspect that is because these are drivers for Vista and the exe does not recognize W7. I also suspect that the actual drivers are somewhere on the system, after having been extracted, and that I could put them in the right place by hand, but I will be darned if I can find 'em.

    I am attaching the latest crash info dumps in the hopes that some kind soul will once again reach out to me and give me some guidance.

    Thanks in advance!

    First, try these free, bootable diagnostics:
    H/W Diagnostics:
    Please start by running these bootable hardware diagnostics:
    Memory Diagnostics (read the details at the link)
    HD Diagnostic (read the details at the link)

    Also, please run one of these free, independent online malware scans to ensure that your current protection hasn't been compromised: Malware (read the details at the link)
    Also, please remove or update these older drivers that were loaded at the time of the crash. Don't use Windows Update or the Update drivers function of Device Manager.
    Please use the following instructions to locate the most currently available drivers to replace the one's that you uninstall OR remove:
    How To Find Drivers:
    - search Google for the name of the driver
    - compare the Google results with what's installed on your system to figure out which device/program it belongs to
    - visit the web site of the manufacturer of the hardware/program to get the latest drivers (DON'T use Windows Update or the Update driver function of Device Manager).
    - if there are difficulties in locating them, post back with questions and someone will try and help you locate the appropriate program.
    - - The most common drivers are listed on this page: Driver Reference
    - - Driver manufacturer links are on this page: http://www.carrona.org/drvrdown.html

    Here's the older drivers. Please pay particular attention to any dated 2007 or earlier:
    Code:
    iaStor.sys   Mon Jun 02 21:03:35 2008 - Intel Storage Manager driver - http://www.carrona.org/dvrref.html#iaStor.sys
    mdmxsdk.sys  Mon Jun 19 17:26:59 2006 - Conexant Modem Audio driver - http://www.carrona.org/dvrref.html#mdmxsdk.sys
    PxHelp20.sys Fri Feb 02 16:23:57 2007 - Sonic CD/DVD driver (used by many different CD/DVD programs) - http://www.carrona.org/dvrref.html#PxHelp20.sys
    If that doesn't locate anything wrong, then please run Driver Verifier according to these directions:
    Using Driver Verifier is an iffy proposition. Most times it'll crash and it'll tell you what the driver is. But sometimes it'll crash and won't tell you the driver. Other times it'll crash before you can log in to Windows. If you can't get to Safe Mode, then you'll have to resort to offline editing of the registry to disable Driver Verifier.

    So, I'd suggest that you first backup your stuff and then make sure you've got access to another computer so you can contact us if problems arise. Then make a System Restore point (so you can restore the system using the Vista/Win7 Startup Repair feature).

    Then, here's the procedure:
    - Go to Start and type in "verifier" (without the quotes) and press Enter
    - Select "Create custom settings (for code developers)" and click "Next"
    - Select "Select individual settings from a full list" and click "Next"
    - Select everything EXCEPT FOR "Low Resource Simulation" and click "Next"
    - Select "Select driver names from a list" and click "Next"
    Then select all drivers NOT provided by Microsoft and click "Next"
    - Select "Finish" on the next page.

    Reboot the system and wait for it to crash to the Blue Screen. Continue to use your system normally, and if you know what causes the crash, do that repeatedly. The objective here is to get the system to crash because Driver Verifier is stressing the drivers out. If it doesn't crash for you, then let it run for at least 36 hours of continuous operation (an estimate on my part).

    Reboot into Windows (after the crash) and turn off Driver Verifier by going back in and selecting "Delete existing settings" on the first page, then locate and zip up the memory dump file and upload it with your next post.

    If you can't get into Windows because it crashes too soon, try it in Safe Mode.
    If you can't get into Safe Mode, try using System Restore from your installation DVD to set the system back to the previous restore point that you created.
    If that doesn't work, post back and we'll have to see about fixing the registry entry off-line.
