Hi guys,

Installed Vista64 yesterday. All went well. Left the PC on overnight, idle, and woke up to find a BSOD with:

DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE

Any ideas whats wrong? I have literally nothing installed on this machine, its a fresh Windows install. The only third party stuff installed is drivers and Call of Duty.

Running a Core2Duo @ 3Ghz, 4Gb Ram, 8800GT, Corsair PSU, WD HDD's.

It's Vista Business 64bit. I'm running SP1.

This is what Windows says:

Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: BlueScreen
OS Version: 6.0.6001.2.1.0.256.6
Locale ID: 2057

Additional information about the problem:
BCCode: 9f
BCP1: 0000000000000003
BCP2: FFFFFA80040D2A30
BCP3: FFFFFA8005C2B050
BCP4: FFFFFA80059B5C60
OS Version: 6_0_6001
Service Pack: 1_0
Product: 256_1

Files that help describe the problem:
C:\Windows\Minidump\Mini111508-01.dmp
C:\Users\Me\AppData\Local\Temp\WER-67406-0.sysdata.xml
C:\Users\Me\AppData\Local\Temp\WER58D9.tmp.version.txt


Thanks!

I really have no technical knowledge to back this up, but to me DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE would imply it has tried to go into power saving mode, had a tantrum and crashed.

Has it been stress tested at all?
 
I was having the same message after installing VMware - it turned out that one of the drivers installed by VMware was causing the problem and once I uninstalled it I stopped getting the blue screen.
 
There is literally nothing installed. I have turned power saving off (dont want it anyway) so hopefully this will mask it
 
try updating the computer driver (in device manager look down to the expandable computer tab) and change the driver to standard computer, reboot and reinstall it as acpi x86 computer again, it might fix the problem.
