📎 AI Summary:
The WindowsForum thread revolves around the original poster experiencing DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE BSODs on a Gateway DX4870 UB305 running Windows 8, particularly during shutdowns or restarts. Multiple posts document the issue, with initial details about the BSOD and dump files, followed by an analysis suggesting memory corruption and potential driver conflicts. A reply recommends uninstalling conflicting antivirus programs (AVG and Norton), updating the BIOS, and testing the RAM, indicating these steps may resolve the power state failure concerns. Overall, the thread discusses troubleshooting steps for resolving the BSOD primarily caused by driver or memory issues.

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).
Arguments:
Arg1: 0000000000000004, The power transition timed out waiting to synchronize with the Pnp
subsystem.
Arg2: 000000000000012c, Timeout in seconds.
Arg3: fffffa8004e47040, The thread currently holding on to the Pnp lock.
Arg4: fffff880009b8800, nt!TRIAGE_9F_PNP on Win7

Followup: memory_corruption

Hi,

I checked through your dmp file and noticed your running AVG anti-virus as well as Norton Anti-virus. This could well be the source of your issue. I suggest removing both for the short term as Windows 8 carries it's own anti-virus application just make sure it's turned on after removal.

Norton removal tool:

If that fails to help then according to your systems webpage your due a bios update:

Also testing your RAM might prove helpful (it does say memory corruption but this might be down to a driver)
Use this application to check on your RAM:

Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool

Edit: Just to add i merged your threads to save confusion.
