BSOD driver_power_state_failure

[lemmy]

I have a UD5 board and regularly experience BSODs when my computer goes to sleep. The error type is driver_power_state_failure. Can anyone help me troubleshoot this?
Many thanks.

Any thoughts on this? Thanks anyone for input.

The message means that one of your drivers is not ACPI acceptable. You will need to find out which driver this is and then update it or delete it.

Hi,
Yes, I've been trying to do that, without much success. Here's the analysis of a crash dump:

DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE (9f)
A driver is causing an inconsistent power state.
Arguments:
Arg1: 0000000000000003, A device object has been blocking an Irp for too long a time
Arg2: fffffa8005d55060, Physical Device Object of the stack
Arg3: fffff80004167518, Functional Device Object of the stack
Arg4: fffffa8005cef7d0, The blocked IRP

Does anyone know - could that include PCIexpress cards? I only have one PCI card, so that would narrow the field. Or does it simply refer to the Motherboard PCI drivers themselves?

Well I don't want to speak to soon, but it seems that the problem may have been due to having an old version of Windows backed up on the C: drive.
The Windows 7 install was a new one, but on an drive with XP, so XP was backed up into the folder Windows.old.
It seems that Win 7 may have been picking up drivers from Windows.old by mistake.
Since deleting Windows.old the hibernate option has appeared in the Start -> Shut Down menu where it wasn't there before, and the computer seems to come back from sleep OK, using the keyboard or mouse, which didn't work before.

Seems Zone Alarm had a lot to do with these problems. Apparently it doesn't paly well with MS Security Essentials. No BSODs since uninstalling it.So far, at least.

[Dark Mantis]

No, it's a shame because Zone Alarm is a very good program but it does seem to clash with many others.
