📎 AI Summary:
The WindowsForum thread discusses a new ASUS laptop experiencing BSOD errors related to driver_power_State_failure. The original poster shares a minidump file, and others analyze the suspected driver, which appears to be a generic pci.sys file, not a specific malfunctioning driver. The overall advice suggests checking power settings, particularly enabling 'Hybrid sleep,' as a potential fix, with the diagnosis indicating no critical driver issues at present.

Greetings,

I bought a brand new ASUS laptop and it start giving me BSOD. The message prompted me to search for driver_power_State_failure with no success. I have uploaded the latest dmp file which I think is a minidump.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
try going into advanced power settings and make sure 'Hybrid sleep' is enabled. I checked over the dump file and driver wise your in pretty good shapeish. There are one or two old drivers but I doubt they are involved with the issue. Hopefully the above solution should stop the issue.

I did a quick analysis which points to a driver file called 0x9F_VRFK_3_IMAGE_pci.sys

However I cannot find any information on this driver, can you right click, properties it and report back what the heck it is? :)

I'm sorry, I didn't quite understand what I should do to help you out. Should I search the device manager for driver names?

Browse your Windows\System32\Drivers\ folder, find the file, right click and Properties it.
I'm really interested in the "Details" tab.

The closest matching name I could find is the "pci.sys" file. It states on the details tab that it is a "NT Plug and Play PCI Enumerator".

Yeah I thought the entry was odd, doesn't seem to be pointing at a real driver per-say, could be the dump analysis doesn't have enough information. pci.sys is a generic driver that comes with windows.
Do you have any other dump files?

I do but I think not all are minidumps. Should I zip them all or just the minidump ones. The BSOD usually occur during boot ups on battery, or after wake up from sleep mode if it helps.
