Ever since my hard drive died on my HP TX2525nr and I replaced the harddrive and installed Windows 7 I'll randomly get a blue screen that says POWER_STATE_FAILURE_DRIVE or something similar to that. It never happened before with the last hard drive and windows of course can't find a way to fix the problem. What should I do?
 

Solution
This one doesn't seem to be related to your earlier one. I would suggest that you may need to get back to the basics. Confirm all drivers are updated and current as well as the MoBo Bios. Check the physical components and connectors, especially the hard drive connections on the drive you just replaced, loose or bad connectors can cause similar issues. Reseat your memory modules. Find the specifics on your memory modules from the manufacturer (timings and voltages) make sure that they are configured appropriately in the bios. If you are overclocking anything set it back to standard defaults. Download and run a memory test utility or use the one built into Windows 7. Chkdsk you hard drive. Check cooling, determine operating temperatures...
Great! Glad to hear it.
 

back again!

Please uninstall the absolutely notorious sptd.sys using the installer/uninstaller tool found here. Then uninstall Daemon Tools. These things crash Windows 7 like no tomorrow! heh heh

Link Removed

Please uninstall MagicDisc beacuse this driver is too old:

Code:
mcdbus   mcdbus.sys   Tue Feb 24 05:42:13 2009

You can use PowerIso for drive emulation because it is perfect stability.

Also, you have two antivirus utilites installed which very well can cause problems. Kaspersky and Avast. Please uninstall one of them at least. Better both and then install MSE as a stable replacement.

Use the special tools to remove found here:

AV Uninstallers - Windows 7 Forums

Look in the device manager for your exact modem and then try to Google for an updated driver for it:

Code:
AGRSM    AGRSM.sys    Mon Nov 10 09:56:37 2008
Visit your manufacturer's website for the latest Synaptics touchpad driver to replace this one:
Code:
SynTP    SynTP.sys    Thu Mar 27 21:14:58 2008
I have one further suggestion but I will hold off on that for now until you report back on the current stability after making these fixes. The first one is most important, but so is the a/v. Good luck.

It appears Daemon Tools did not uninstall correctly.

However, I see the faulty module belonging to your Avast Anti-virus program/

I would uninstall that and choose AVG or similar anti-virus software

Sptd.sys uninstall as I pointed to is need to completely uninstall the Daemon Tools remnant sptd.sys.

After doing thousands of bsod cases, I firmly believe AVG is the worst one of all to choose. MSE is the only antivirus that does not cause bsod.
