I added my TV tuner and scanner, but it was owrking fine immediately afterward.Īll 4 minidumps had the same bugcheck - 0x9f (0x3,) = driver in an inconsistent power state and is blocking an IRP for too long a time (IRP = I/O Request Packet) - and all point at usbhub.sys - a Windows component.

Product Name : Microsoft® Windows® Operating Systemįile Version. Just a few thoughts while you wait for experienced help.īug Check String : DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE Have you checked the windows update install list to see if any failed? Have you uninstalled anything you didn't use from the add/remove features list? As a quick test I nuked the drive and tried it with just Windows and it was fine. Further reading showed that boot loaders, good and bad, had issues with this security update. I later found that MS update KB971033 would fail to install no matter how I tried to apply it, causing BSOD or never finishing and needing a reboot. After checking things I found that the manufacturer did have issues with this model of drive but only regarding speed. Under Windows I was getting BSOD often and under any load. Under Linux, which was installed last, it seems fine. Does this mean for a short time it was working fine or have you added hardware/software?Īs an example I recently installed a Kingston SSD and setup dual boot on it for Win 7 and Linux. Do you have any more details? I ask because you say it's a relatively fresh install.
