Hi,
We have two servers on different hardware that are installed with Windows 2012 and are running Windows server 2012 essentials virtual machine. For the past couple of months, we are experiencing multiple BSOD regularly. The dumps showed "DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE" pointing to ntkrnlmp.exe. We have already tried disabling the anti-virus but it is still showing BSOD
On Fri 7/2/2014 4:43:52 PM GMT your computer crashed
crash dump file: C:\Windows\Minidump\020814-28890-01.dmp
uptime: 18 days, 12:41:07
This was probably caused by the following module:
ntkrnlmp.exe(nt!KeBugCheckEx+0x0)
Bugcheck code: 0x9F (0x3, 0xFFFFFA8300CF7060, 0xFFFFF803960787F0, 0xFFFFFA830C7CF810)
Error: DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE
Bug check description: This bug check indicates that the driver is in an inconsistent or invalid power state.
This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem.
The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver that cannot be identified at this time.
