Windows 10: Random BSODs following update to W10Pro from W8.1Pro..

Hi,

[.greetings. My first post to Windows TenForums.] since updating my main desktop to W10Pro from W8.1Pro I've been experiencing random BSODs. Looking at the Event Viewer, they may be driver related..

The driver \Driver\WSDScan for device SWD\DAFWSDProvider\urn:uuid:00000000-0000-1000-8000-2c9efcabdb91/http://schemas.canon.com/Scanner stopped the power transition.

I've updated to the latest Canon W10 Pixma driver but the problem remains. I've also run SFC /Scannow which reports clean.

Attached is the standard BSOD logfile.

I'd welcome suggestions as to how best further investigate and fix the problem.

Many thanks,

Martin..

Windows 10 hangs after update

I upgraded from W8.1Pro to W10Pro.

Now it hangs once in an hour making the whole laptop not responsive and the only thing that helps is keeping power button down for 6sec.

I have tried to wait but after 30minutes did restart anyway.

 

DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION windows 10

My PC running W10Pro v1607 crashes regularly with this BSOD message. The problem started with the anniversary update. Mini dump files are here:

You've been experiencing 0x9F BSODs, these are caused by DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURES.
Code: DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE (9f) A driver has failed to complete a power IRP within a specific time.

Looking at the blocked IRP it's showing Intel Management Engine Interface driver. It's pretty old so check here for an updated version.

Many thanks for the suggestion. Yes, I have found updated drivers for the Intel Management Engine Interface and installed them. I will let you know how I get on. Previously, I had fully uninstalled the ATI Radeon HD display driver and Catalyst application and reinstalled them. This gave some improvement but didn't seem to provide a total fix.

I'll report back here and let you know the outcome.

For future reference, do you know of any guide for reading/interpreting the BSOD logs as you have done above?

Once again. Thank you for your helpful response.

Best wishes.

 

Keep us posted, hopefully you're issues are solved.

Ok. After much chasing around it looks like the culprit was the Realtek HD Audio Driver. During the Windows Update process the driver is automatically updated to version 10.0.10240.16384 but the driver component under 'sound, video and game controllers' stays at version: 6.0.1.7535 if you try and force and update it will do so but then revert back to the same version. With version 6.0.1.7535 the system hangs when waking from sleep.

The solution I found was to completely uninstall and delete the Realtek driver. Then download and install the latest v R2.79 from their site. Interestingly this installs the same 10.0.10240.16384 version under the 'audio' section but installs a version 6.0.1.7541 under the 'sound, video and game controller' section. With this version wake from sleep works correctly.

It is not clear why the same driver version 10.0.10240.16384 doesn't apply to both 'audio' and 'sound, video and game controller' driver sections. Also on another Gigabyte pc (albeit with a different motherboard) the same discrepancy doesn't prevent the wake from sleep working. That is with the 'standard' W10 updated versions 10.0.10240.16384/6.0.1.7535 for Realtek HD Audio Sleep/Wake works correctly.

In summary I'm pretty confident the 'crash on wake' problem was related to the Realtek HD Audio driver (system has now been working correctly for 48hours). If you're experiencing similar 'crash or black screen on wake' problems you may wish to check the status of these drivers if they apply to your platform.
