BSOD for power drive state failure

[Arc]

I think you need to do it: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/219487-clean-reinstall-factory-oem-windows-7-a.html.

First back up all your data externally, and proceed to it.

I did that exact thing in October. It did nothing to stop the BS's and that is when the 4 drivers noel pointed out were lost and for whatever reason can not find or install properly even coming from the Dell site for my laptop using my service code. I also lost the ability to change the colors on the keyboard which is nothing really but I am wary of doing that again. I am beginning to think I was given a lemon laptop and there is just something fundamentally wrong with it. If you really think this is the only way, I will do it after I get home from work.

Do it. Hopefully it will fix all it. Most probably it was an installation error.

Ok will do. I will let you know how it goes. Thanks for all the help.

I was unable to run the full wipe this weekend. I run a tournament center and it was the Gatecrash prerelease. Was crazy busy. I didn't want anyone to think I just didn't bother. I will have to wait till Thursday now with my schedule. I will let you guys know how it runs after. Thanks again.
