    That dump doesn't point to any particular driver.

    DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE (9f)
    A driver is causing an inconsistent power state.
    Arguments:
    Arg1: 00000004, The power transition timed out waiting to synchronize with the Pnp
    subsystem.
    Arg2: 00000258, Timeout in seconds.
    Arg3: 00000000

    Not really, no. Have you checked in the Event Viewer? (start>type 'event viewer")

    Is this a recent occurrence? (any new updates, devices)

    Are you using wireless or wired ethernet?

    From what I can gather, a driver is not allowing the machine to sleep/awake resulting in your BSOD. A device, such as your network card, could be a possible culprit.

    If you google:
    DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE (9f)
    A driver is causing an inconsistent power state.
    Arguments:
    Arg1: 00000004, The power transition timed out waiting to synchronize with the Pnp

    That shows a lot more hits with a similar issue to yours.

    Off the top of my head, all I can think to suggest would be checking your network settings in your Power Options.

    Re: BSOD - DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE BCCode: 9f

    Most times this error is due to network drivers (as smarteyeball stated) or by video drivers. Beyond that you'll have to use Driver Verifier to see if you can force a crash of the driver that's at fault.

    Using Driver Verifier is an iffy proposition. Most times it'll crash and it'll tell you what the driver is. But sometimes it'll crash and won't tell you the driver. Other times it'll crash before you can log in to Windows. If you can't get to Safe Mode, then you'll have to resort to offline editing of the registry to disable Driver Verifier.

    So, I'd suggest that you first backup your stuff and then make sure you've got access to another computer so you can contact us if problems arise. Then make a System Restore point (so you can restore the system using the Vista Startup Repair feature).

    Then, here's the procedure:
    - Go to Start and type in "verifier" (without the quotes) and press Enter
    - Select "Create custom settings (for code developers)" and click "Next"
    - Select "Select individual settings from a full list" and click "Next"
    - Select everything EXCEPT FOR "Low Resource Simulation" and click "Next"
    - Select "Automatically select unsigned drivers" and click "Next"
    If no drivers show up, then select "Select driver names from a list" and click "Next"
    Then select all drivers NOT provided by Microsoft and click "Next"
    - Select "Finish" on the next page.

    Reboot the system and wait for it to crash to the Blue Screen. Reboot into Windows, turn off Driver Verifier by going back in and selecting "Delete existing settings" on the first page, then locate and zip up the memory dump file and upload it with your next post.

    If you can't get into Windows because it crashes too soon, try it in Safe Mode.
    If you can't get into Safe Mode, try using System Restore from your installation DVD to set the system back to the previous restore point that you created.
    If that doesn't work, post back and we'll have to see about fixing the registry entry off-line.

    Hi,

    i enabled verifier on all drivers which are not from microsoft. And reboot server, i hard rebooted while PC didn't shutdown. Then i started, everything went ok, no BSOD when pc was starting. Then i loged in, browsed sth in firefox and check verifier what settings is using and says verify these drivers: all the drivers that i selected. Then i try to reboot laptop, and it didn't do it well, i wait and wait and it came to BSOD, here is the dump.

    This is an issue with the PnP subsystem on your computer. I'll have to do some research on this and get back to you later on tonight.

    Re: BSOD - DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE BCCode: 9f

    The only thing that I've been able to find is this driver that's very, very old:
    8598f000 8598f680 giveio giveio.sys Wed Apr 03 22:33:25 1996 (316334F5)

    Do you use some sort of port tracker? A search of the web for giveio.sys revealed this link: giveio.sys Windows process - What is it?

    Also, this driver is very old:
    8fac2000 8fad6a40 aksifdh aksifdh.sys Tue Oct 26 08:18:45 2004 (417E40A5)

    It could have something to do with Aladdin security stuff ( Aladdin - Software security, internet security, content security, dongle and USB solutions )

    Finally, this is the other very old driver:
    ad97f000 ad98e000 DgiVecp DgiVecp.sys Wed Aug 11 02:39:36 2004 (4119BF28)

    Links that may apply to it:
    dgivecp.sys - At your option
    DgiVecp.sys Windows process - What is it?

    I'd update these 3 drivers immediately. Also, keep Driver Verifier running to see if there's another BSOD with more info.
