Ok, I finally have some free time, so I thought I'd post an update. I checked out Event Viewer, and I have to say that it's quite a handy tool. I was able to take a look at an error that was recorded when the computer froze up, when it attempted to enter sleep mode. However, like most of what...

Sorry, I forgot to say, yes sleep mode has worked from the time that I bought the laptop (I've had it for years now), until a few months ago. So apparently, something messed it up. Anyway, is Reset the only way that we might be able to solve this? I thought of doing a System Restore, but the...

Hi, Okay, I looked at the chkdsk logs, and nothing major really jumped out. Only a handful of repairs were made, so I'm not too concerned about it. But anyway, yes it appears that the BSOD has stopped. We haven't gotten one in over a week. But, the system still freezes if it tries to sleep...

Ok, I'm back. So, I got the Intel driver update to work by using Compatibility Mode for Windows 7. Although, it's weird. Even though the update has the 2010 version number shown when the install starts (6.0.40.1215), it basically just reinstalls the driver version that I already have (which I...

Hmm, still didn't work, running as administrator. Guess I'll have to look into that. As for Lojack, I actually do use it, or at least I do have it ready in case my laptop is misplaced or stolen. But, I guess I need to get rid of it, if it's causing problems. I'll give it a try next week. I'm...

Ah, I forgot, I did turn that on as a suggestion that I found on another page. So, the fact that it caught this driver, could this be the problem? I disabled Driver Verifier. Any idea how I might go about uninstalling INSTB64.SYS? I can't find much online. There is an option on Lojack's...

Yes I have, in fact I've tinkered with just about all of the settings in the Advanced menu, and the problem is still there. Not sure why, but I think that it's related to the BSOD, since it tends to happen when the computer's just been sitting. The only way I can get sleep mode to work is if I...

That's not a problem. Thanks for getting back to me. Wow, that scan tool is pretty cool. I ran it and it said that the operation completed successfully. After it was done, I ran sfc again, and this time it gave me a message like this: Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and...

Ok, update. I ran sfc again, and this time I snagged the CBS.log file before the logged errors could be deleted. Sure enough, there's a handful of files that got flagged. I haven't tried anything yet to remedy this, but can these errors cause my problem? Thanks!

Thanks again for the reply! Alright, so it sounds like there's not much I can do driver wise, then. Oh, I probably should have mentioned that I ran sfc before as well. Here was the result. I got a message similar to the following: Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was...

Hi kemical Thanks so much for taking a look, and for the long, detailed reply! I do appreciate it. I have some follow up comments and questions, if you don't mind: I actually did run chkdsk back when the problem first started occurring If I remember right, a handful of issues got corrected...

Hi All, So I've been having a strange problem with my Toshiba Satellite laptop lately, running Windows 8.1. Been having random BSODs, usually with a DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE message. I took a look at the dump files using BlueScreenView, and in almost every occurrence, it flags the...
