Solved BSOD after going into sleep mode or hibernate.

[mrhelpme]

Hello all,

I have a Asus G75VW-BBK5 laptop. Processor is an Intel Core i7-3610QM with 8 GB of ram. Video card is an Nvidia Geforce GTX 660M with 2 GB of ram. For the most part it seems to run like a champ, except when it goes to sleep or hibernates. Sometimes it will successfully do both and wake up without an issue. Most times the external mouse will turn off and go unresponsive and hitting anything on the keyboard doesn't work. I've attempted to research this issue for some days and it seems to happen more than I realized, but I see no solution that has worked yet. I've updated the video drivers and it still happens. It doesn't matter if the lid is closed or not by the way, if it idles for let's say 30 minutes, it goes to sleep then I have to hit the power button to restart. While it doesn't take forever to reboot and get things going again, as you can see this can become very annoying. Kernel power 41 seems to come up whenever I get it going again in the event viewer log. Anyhow here are the dump files and such, thank you.

Security App
Crashes indicate Kaspersky being a possible cause. Remove Kaspersky and replace with Microsoft Security Essentials to see if it provides more stability. Uninstallers (removal tools) for common antivirus software

Microsoft Security Essentials and Malwarebytes are recommended from a strict BSOD perspective. They do not cause blue screens on the system as other AV products do.

Microsoft Security Essentials, Free antivirus for windows

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Free

   Warning

DO NOT start the free trial of MalwareBytes, unselect that option when prompted.

   Tip

Make full scans with both separately.

Start up
Keep less stuff at the start-up. Only anti-virus, this helps avoid driver conflicts and improves time to log in to windows.

So far everything seems to be okay. I updated the drivers you asked me to and uninstalled / replaced software you mentioned. So far the computer can sleep / hibernate and wake up without any issues. If any additional issues happen I'll let you know. Thank you very much for your help. I appreciate it! You guys rock.
