Latest GeForce driver update 358.50 causes BSOD

[newpgm]

My computer BSOD'd this morning Had to roll back GeForce driver.

Anyone having BSOD in the past few days & recently updated GeForce driver may want to know. Many others are experiencing same.

BSOD caused by ntoskrnl.exe error

DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE (9f)
A driver is causing an inconsistent power state.

Arg1: 0000000000000003, A device object has been blocking an Irp for too long a time

Hi,

I quit updating GeForce drivers early this year, didn't see the reason since i play no games. Most of the updates seem to be for gaming specifics. Shouda stuck with that & left it alone.
So my roll back went all the way back to 347.25.

Nice to see you ThrashZone. I mostly roll on the tenforums now. You know Win 7 machine never has any problems.

That snip of a dump doesn't show anything relating to an nVidia driver.

Hi,
Yep 7 rules
I do wonder which driver windows updates provides :/

GeForce and also RealTek has gone freaking mad with driver releases so most have to be targeted at win-10 and messing up 7 in the process

I uninstalled GeForce experience a while back after I had to use it to activate batman ackham knight.

I am a beginner at this Dump analysis stuff & was unable to determine which driver was at fault but since I just updated the GeForce driver last night & several users experiencing same on GeForce forums it seemed logical. Before you ask, I already deleted the dump Roll back appears to have corrected BSOD.

I too almost uninstalled GeForce exp earlier this year & went with the driver from WU. In fact it was in my hidden updates but is no longer. Probably disappeared a few months ago when I reinstalled WU. Because of all that KB2952664 business, multiple instances of. Remember I jacked up WU trying to hide all those WinX upgrade updates. Similar to what's happening with KB3035583 right now.

Yes M$ has just released some new versions of both of those updates = never boring in the reviewing updates section
Not this latest driver but the one you're using now had a warning that a bsod could occur installing it = with a message like that I can wait

347.25 worked fine for 9 months. If you don't mind where did you pick up that info?

thanks

Welcome in my world

But Boozad is correct, it doesn't show anything useful.
The blamed file is a Windows file, if it was really the cause you would experience much more problems.

As a thread that serves no purpose deletion is perfectly fine with me. No need to clutter the interweb.

This doesn't need installing, only install drivers for your GPU directly from nVidia. The best way to install the latest driver would be to follow http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/327414-nvidia-drivers-avoid-problems.html

I've been running 358.50 with no problems following a clean install.
