Vista - Vista Sleep to Unexpected Shutdown

I have recently been experiencing "unexpected shutdown" errors. I'm
running 32-bit on a Dell Inspiron 1520 with what I believe are all
up-to-date drivers. The error information is as follows:

Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: BlueScreen
OS Version: 6.0.6001.2.1.0.768.3
Locale ID: 1033

Additional information about the problem:
BCCode: 9f
BCP1: 00000003
BCP2: 83A3EDA0
BCP3: 861BD030
BCP4: 846AB688
OS Version: 6_0_6001
Service Pack: 1_0
Product: 768_1

Files that help describe the problem:
C:\Windows\Minidump\Mini102308-01.dmp
C:\Windows\Temp\WER-41870-0.sysdata.xml
C:\Windows\Temp\WER12A5.tmp.version.txt

I have searched all over the internet for BlueScreen 9f BCCodes but
most of them seemed to not apply specifically for me. A lot of people
seemed to think that this kind of error is hardware-based and, because
this laptop is over a year old, I wouldn't argue too quickly about that.
I only hope that there might be something I'm missing?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Drew

Maybe this helps: You receive a Stop 0x9F error when you wake a Windows Vista-based computer that is connected to an IEEE 1394-based device

Thanks so much for the timely responses. In the previously posted link,
this is stated:

SYMPTOMS
When you wake a Windows Vista-based computer from sleep, you may
receive a Stop 0x9F error message that resembles the following:
STOP 0x0000009F (parameter1, parameter2, parameter3, parameter4)
DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE
This problem occurs when a device that uses an Institute of Electrical
and Electronics Engineering (IEEE) 1394 connection is connected to the
computer. For example, the device may be a Maxtor One Touch II 300GB
model external hard disk, an Apple iPod, or some other IEEE 1394-based
device.

The next time I use the Windows partition I will apply the update given
in the article.

Howerver, I was reading that some laptop webcams have caused this
problem on various computers so I reinstalled my respective drivers.
However, I do sync an iPod using this computer and am wondering how an
iPod could cause a power state failure, especially because it is only
connected while syncing. Any ideas?

Hi! I have Sony VAIO VGN-CS11S. The problem is: sometimes it reboots
when in standby and the following message appears on the screen:
BlueScreen
Version SO: 6.0.6002.2.2.0.768.3
ID regional settings: 1026

Additional information about the problem:
BCCode: 9f
BCP1: 00000003
BCP2: 8550C030
BCP3: 86F8A030
BCP4: 86A473D8
OS Version: 6_0_6002
Service Pack: 2_0
Product: 768_1

Files helping to describe the problem:
C:\Windows\Minidump\Mini101809-01.dmp
C:\Users\sony\AppData\Local\Temp\WER-67033-0.sysdata.xml
C:\Users\sony\AppData\Local\Temp\WER426C.tmp.version.txt

I also have to mention that it is still guarantee period; untill now
they first exchange my VideoCard and MotherBoard (two weeks after I
bought it) and two weeks ago I had the fan exchanged - everithing
happened in the VAIO OFFICIAL WARRENTY SERVICE in GERMANY. So apparently
my laptop is defect from the very begining but Sony doesn't want to
change it. I have to try to solve the problem by myself. PLEASE HELP ME
- I'M DESPERATE!

There is another problem - when booting, "Media test failure - check
cable" appears. This didn't apper before the last guarantee service
intervention; it appeared after they exchanged the fan.

So... I realy don't know what to do!

Thanks!
