BSOD entering sleep mode

[Don188]

Computer crashes when entering sleep mode. The led blinks for 2 or 3 seconds before the bluescreen. When rebooting Windows displays the crash message. This happens every time the computer attempts to go to sleep mode. Computer shuts down properly. Worked fine until yesterday.

This error is The INTERNAL_POWER_ERROR bug check has a value of 0x000000A0. This bug check indicates that the power policy manager experienced a fatal error.

Usually a bad driver. I am betting it is your Symantec. I would remove and replace it with Microsoft Security Essentials.

IF that doesnt help please upload any DMP files file may get, but I am thinking it is Norton.

The dmp files are attached.

Thes were related to pffilter.sys (your peer guardian 2). I would remove it.

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.

Thanks for your help.

My pleasure, just remember the old drivers will need updating.
