BSOD while system idle, 0x0000009F Driver_Power_State_Failure

[Dalz]

Hey all,

New to the forums. I've been getting random BSODs over the past several months. The latest is the one listed in the thread title, but I've also had the following:

- Kernel_Data_Inpage_Error, 0x0000007A
- Page_Fault_In_Nonpaged_Area, 0x00000050
- A process or thread crucial to system operation has unexpectedly exited, 0x000000F4

Whenever I get one of these, it also gives the additional error "Physical memory dump Failed with status 0xC0000010"

I've seen about a dozen BSODs in the past 12 months with these four errors, and I think all of them have been while I had left the computer idle for various amounts of time (never more than a few hours).

I built this computer from the ground up with all new components a year ago and have been running Win 7 Ultimate x64, no re-installs.

I don't know if the attached files will only include the latest Driver_Power_State error or if they also include information on the previous BSODs, but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I've also included the SF output files in case they provide any additional information.

Your problems were caused by EraserUtilRebootDrv.sys { Related to Symantec Norton Internet Security suite.}

Symantec is a frequent cause of BSOD's.
I suggest you remove and replace it with Microsoft Security Essentials AT LEAST TO TEST.

Besides removing Norton as JMH suggests please note the the uptime on each of these was 4+ days. That in itself can be the cause of crashes. I would suggest a reboot more frequently.

Thanks guys! I'll have to take a look at Norton then, that sucks. But definitely worth it if I can get rid of the BSODs. However, that's interesting that it says my uptime is 4+ days as I turn the computer completely off every night. When I boot it each day it's a full boot, no sleep mode or anything...

As a side note, if I turn off idle scanning and the like for Norton, could that fix the issue?

My apologies you are absolutely correct. My mistake. Too little sleep.

Ah, no worries. I appreciate the help.

*Edit* Oops, I meant to ask, do the files I uploaded only include info about the latest BSOD or did they collect all the previous ones too?

You are more than welcome. I will try to keep it in the ball park this time.

Lol, I was editing my last while you were posting, so I'll paste it here so it doesn't get lost above.
