pnp subsystem
About this tag
The pnp subsystem tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions related to the Windows Plug and Play subsystem, particularly in the context of troubleshooting DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE BSOD errors. In one example, a user with a Gateway DX4870 running Windows 8 experiences a blue screen during shutdown or restart, where the debug analysis points to a power transition timeout waiting to synchronize with the Pnp subsystem. The error arguments indicate a timeout in seconds and the thread holding the Pnp lock. This tag is relevant for users seeking help with driver power state issues linked to the Plug and Play subsystem on Windows systems.
I have a Gateway DX4870 UB305 running Windows 8. On shut downor restart it sometimes has the DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE BSOD.
Windows Debug shows:
DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE (9f)
A driver has failed to complete a power IRP within a specific time (usually 10 minutes).
