DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE caused by ntoskrnl.exe (again)

[FrostyFlakes]

In my previous thread about a week ago I solved this problem by updating my Ralink USB wireless driver. Things were fine for a few days. Then after Windows Update (it seems) the problem is back.

The two dumps of concern are from Sep/12/2012 and Sep/11/2012.

I'd appreciate it if someone can figure out the offending driver this time. Thanks.

Thanks for the info koolkat77. I've updated my Atheros driver and hopefully this is resolved.

 

[koolkat77]

You're welcome.
Let us know if you have more BSoDs

I updated the Atheros driver from this link: MSI Global ? Mainboard - 785GM-P45

When I hibernated yesterday it went into the "driver power state" BSOD again. I've attached the dump. Is it still from the Atheros driver?

Well done on the update. Now, have a look again:

Device queue is not busy.

So, it is Ralink RT2870 series USB802.11n Wireless Adapter Driver now.
I would suggest you to first uninstall the driver, and then get the updates from Ralink-A MEDIATEK COMPANY.

BTW, how many network connections do you use? You should uninstall those drivers those you dont use.

 

[FrostyFlakes]

Arc, I appreciate the reply.

I had updated the Ralink RT2870 from that link due to a prior BSOD, which centaur78 found to be caused by the Ralink adapter. I will try to uninstall the driver first, and then reinstall it.

I am not sure why this is happening now as I have been using the computer the same way a long time, and it only started acting this way since a recent Windows update it seems.

I have never been able to properly hibernate/sleep my self built rigs consistently ever since Vista came out.

 

[Arc]

Let us know the result.

If needed, we will search for the reason again, if it is really that driver, or actually a hardware component.
