Windows 10: BSOD DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE randomly after cold boot/sleep

For the past month I have been getting random BSOD's all with driver power state failure. They happen randomly, usually within the first 5-10 minutes of cold booting or waking my computer. Steps I have taken to attempt to fix the problem:

• Reinstalled GPU drivers/ tried old drivers
• Fresh installed Windows 1803, still happened, then fresh installed 1709
• Disabled Fast Boot

None of these things fixed the issue, any help would be much appreciated at pinpointing the issue. Thanks

driver_power_state_failure BSOD during specific cold boot-ups


Here is my unusual BSOD challenge - any assistance you can provide would be very much appreciated:

The fault appeared immediately after upgrading from win 7 to win 10:

Following every windows shut down command (windows-menu>power>shutdown), the subsequent cold boot is interrupted by a BSOD with the “driver_power_state_failure” message, followed by a long duration “black screen” that delays the boot-up. The boot-up completes without any user intervention.

In all other aspects the computer works perfectly - there are no further crashes or BSODs in normal operation.

The net effect is to extend boot-up time by four or more minutes. Also the hard disk free space is reducing by about 0.4 Gb after each BSOD.

The problem is consistent and occurs after every cold boot that follows a shut down using the windows menu>power>shutdown command.

Curiously, it does not happen in any of the following boot-up cases:
1. After a shut down from a third party program command (example after a shut-down command from the “Cobian” back-up program on completion of a back-up), then cold boot.
2. After the computer is powered off using the physical power button, followed by cold boot.
3. On warm boot (windows-menu>power>restart).
4. Any boot-up from or within Safe Mode (cold boot, warm boot, or power button off - then cold boot).

The following actions have not corrected the problem:

Updated drivers using MS updater and third party driver software.

Ran Verifier on multiple reboots to determine a jmcr.sys (driver for Jmicron SD card reader) violation:
“A device driver attempting to corrupt the system has been caught. This is because the driver was specified in the registry as being suspect (by the administrator)”.
Have attempted to update this driver, but Windows returns a message that it is up-to-date. This appears to be confirmed at Acer’s website where the latest driver (win 7 only) is the same date as my installed driver.

The limit of my knowledge is reached here!

The attached Zip file includes all information that was requested in your excellent tutorial.
Please Note:
Minidump 042616-20078-01.dmp reports information on Verifer’s crash and the violation it detected in the jmrc.sys driver.
Minidump 042716-27421-01.dmp reports on the undiagnosed driver_power_state_failure BSOD during cold boot following a “normal” Windows shut down (windows-menu>power>shutdown).

Only two minidumps are included - your data gathering utility was unable to complete when it attempted to collect copies of all available minidumps.

Many thanks, in advance, for any assistance you can give.

 

Memory Related BSOD Every Cold Boot

First let me list my specs:

Motherboard: Gigabyte Z370 Aorus Ultra Gaming

CPU: i7 8700k @ stock

RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 @ 2133 MHz

GPU: Gigabyte Aorus GTX 1080 TI

Storage: Samsung 840 EVO SSD (Windows Installed) 240GB

Seagate FireCuda 2TB HDD

Seagate Barracuda 2TB HDD

I cannot find anyone to help me with this problem, so when the i7 8700k came out I bought a new motherboard, RAM and the CPU. But ever since i installed the parts I am now plagued with Memory Management and Kernel Security Check BSODs on cold boots only,
it will keep giving me these errors seconds after the PC boots for almost a dozen times and then itll be fine until the next cold boot, if I restart the PC it wont give me the BSOD.

Ive reinstalled Windows 2 times but nothing, and I have tested the RAM multiple times with no errors and the PC is fine in Safe Mode.

I think it may be driver related but I dont know where to look.
