Hi everyone,

I recently purchased an HP DV6TSE and have had it for about a month. I have webroot anitvirus software.

My computer was acting glitchy so I rebooted and walked out of the room, upon returning there was a BSOD. That said: "DRIVER_STATE_POWER_FAILURE" (I attatched a picture of the SCREEN that I took with my phone, if any needed info is unclear, please let me know). The kicker is that a family members laptop has been showing the same BSOD for a long time (monthes, if not over a year).

The said computers share a wirless connection and some of the data on both of them are from an older family computer. Other than that, there are really no common factors that I can think of that could have incited this issue.

Do any of you know what could be causeing this or how to fix it?

Thanks in advance.

The one you want to work on first, do this:

Download BlueScreenView
No installation required.
Double click on the BlueScreenView.exe file to run the program.
When scanning is done, go to Edit>Select All.
Go to File>Save Selected Items, and save the report as BSOD.txt.
Open BSOD.txt in Notepad, copy all content, and paste it into your next reply.Heres what I got. Thank you for TAKING your time to help!

good luck,truenorth
P.S. Enjoy the accent of the narrator.aceofspades991, Bluescreenview is showing only one crash. If this is the only one you have gotten, I wouldn't worry about it. The DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE means that one of your drivers didn't come out of or go into sleep mode properly. In this case it was the windows kernel driver. There could be many reasons for this, but like I said, if it happened only once I wouldn't worry.

Thanks for the info, I'll LOOK into the video when I have time to try the solutions.

The main reason that this alarmed me, is as I said a family members computer has been doing this on a nightly BASIS and we've spen hours talking to tech support with dell to no avail, I don't know much about viruses but to me it seemed suspicious that we both had identical screens. Does this sound like a coincidence? If s then I'll let it be and hope it doesnt happen again.Additional information for 0X0000009F BSOD code http://support.microsoft.com/kb/246243
