Dell notebook crashes when sent to sleep or hibernate

[xrefa]

Hi Folks,

Am using company notebook Dell Latitude E6410 (core i3, 4GB ram), past 3 weeks notebook keeps hanging each time i send it to hibernate or to sleep. It happens with docking station, but also when it is standalone same thing happens.
am attaching several minidump files.

Could you give a hint what driver/software is causing sleep or hibernate process to hang, after which I have to force shutdown with shutdown button.
I dug bit through the minidump and found that
DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE 0x0000009f
and process ntoskrnl.exe

Thank you in advance

Hi xrefa, welcome to 7F

The first minidmp blames NETwNs64.sys - Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 5000 Series Adapter Driver for Windows 7.

The second vmnetadapter.sys is a WINDOWS system32 driver, VMware Virtual Network Adapter Driver

You would have to:

• Go to Intel's Download Center ( http://downloadcenter.intel.com ) and download the latest version of the drivers for that device.
• Uninstall the current drivers on your system for that device
• Install the freshly downloaded drivers
• Monitor for further BSOD's.

The second indicates a system file has not been updated, and you would have to run the same procedure as above for the Intel driver.

Unless your Company allows you to do this, okay, forge ahead. But, I would take it back to your IT dept., and tell them it is not working right.

Until you can fix it or have it replaced, does it work okay if you just shut it down then restart?

Are you forcing it to hibernate/sleep or are you allowing the settings in Power Options to let it hibernate/sleep?

Hello xrefa and welcome to Seven Forums.

Since it's a company notebook you may want to check with your IT Department before undertaking any fixes on your own. At least you'll have some information to pass along to them.

I am forcing each time sleep/hibernate.

I will update the drivers on the thing...

Thanks for quick reply.

Cheers

Would you at least consider, letting the settings do the job, and see what happens?

Hi Anak,
Well for past couple of days I didn't force the hibernate or sleep, same thing. Than i downloaded the latest driveres for my wifi intel 13.5. version...
well here is crash log again.

Just wondering if the wifi was the cause again??

 

[Anak]

Yes. Your new dump shows the same NETwNs64.sys driver failure as above in my post #2

There is this: "0x0000009F" Stop error message when a computer enters and resumes from hibernation in Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2
