DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE (9F)


That's the first thing I did after the first BSOD on March 23rd. Everything looks fine in Device Manager—there are no devices with exclamation marks or marked as faulty. My impression is that it might be due to firmware that is not yet fully stable or simply a lack of full compatibility with this type of dongle. That said, I just updated the firmware of the USB 4.0 hub, so maybe it's fine now. However, to be sure I've actually solved the issue, I want to completely rule it out of the equation. If the problem reoccurs with the same Location ID, it would mean that the USB controller or the his PCI bridge is faulty. At that point, I would be certain that replacing the motherboard is the right decision.

Or maybe the dongle itself is faulty. Let's wait and see.

The screen is from Device Manager as it is more convenient.

I do not understand the request. The screenshot posted above is what you asked for. A link of what?

Following yesterday's firmware updates, the Event Viewer shows that the problematic device (PCI\VEN_1B21&DEV_2423&SUBSYS_24211B21&REV_01\451ECAFFFF5177A018) has been removed and reconfigured. So... I might be on the right track to resolving this issue. I'll keep you posted.

The above was from post #17.

Post #23 has a different message: "was configured"

and has no comment:

"the problematic device"

"removed and reconfigured"


When available post a link displaying:

It's literally the same thing... The point is that the PCI switch was removed and reconfigured. The exact wording I used isn't there, but... What's the difference?

Windows never identified it as a problematic device?

That was your interpretation?

I analyzed the dumps with WinDbg, and by examining the blocked IRP argument with !Devstack, the device turned out to be the one mentioned above. The failure Bucked Id was 0x9F_3_AML!_SB.PCI0.GPP8.U4UP.U4P3.UHI0._REG_ACPI_IMAGE_pci.sys that's point clearly to the USB 4 hub as mentioned in post #19.
Sometimes you have to be a detective and put the pieces together on your own.

Reporting it:

the Event Viewer shows that the problematic device (PCI\VEN_1B21&DEV_2423&SUBSYS_24211B21&REV_01\451ECAFFFF5177A018) has been removed and reconfigured

is very different from windbg

Please confirm that there was no event viewer report and that Windows never identified a problematic device.

Nope, Windows never identified a "problematic device." Sorry for the misunderstanding. But if a device caused a BSOD, then it is indeed a problematic device (or something attached to it). The fact that the ASM4242 firmware update removed and reconfigured that bridge clearly ties it to the USB 4.0 controller. That’s what I meant with that sentence.

Had it reported by Windows, it would have been easy to identify, and I probably wouldn't have posted on this forum. ;-)

Anyway, I'm pretty sure I've at least identified the responsible controller or the device causing the initialization issue. Now, I just have to wait.

P.S.
The event is present in Event Viewer under the "Administrative Events" section, and it is identical to the one in the "Events" tab of the event management screenshot posted above.
