Hello to all, nice community you have here!
I was looking for a little help with a Win10 problem I'm having.
When running graphics-intensive apps (games), the system hard crashes and reboots, with no warning or degradation of service prior. It seems to be not universal but easily 95% of times (occasionally the system will function in-game for an hour or two).
I've done the usual steps, wherein I've uninstalled and reinstalled the problem games, as well as running Windows Update (nothing pending) and checking for all device drivers (they look 100% up to date as well). This is an older system, but it has Win 10 now, new RAM, and a graphics card less than 8 months old.
Here's my WhatCrashed dump, it's frustratingly vague:
On Sat 8/6/2016 10:26:37 AM GMT your computer crashed
crash dump file: C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\080616-25687-01.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: ntoskrnl.exe (nt+0x1473D6)
Bugcheck code: 0x9F (0x4, 0x12C, 0xFFFFE001B360B840, 0xFFFFF80141750AF0)
Error: DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE
file path: C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntoskrnl.exe
product: Microsoft® Windows® Operating System
company: Microsoft Corporation
description: NT Kernel & System
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.
I did some WinDBG parsing as well, and this is the slightly-more rboust findings:
DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE (9f)
A driver has failed to complete a power IRP within a specific time.
Arguments:
Arg1: 0000000000000004, The power transition timed out waiting to synchronize with the Pnp
subsystem.
Arg2: 000000000000012c, Timeout in seconds.
Arg3: ffffe001b360b840, The thread currently holding on to the Pnp lock.
Arg4: fffff80141750af0, nt!TRIAGE_9F_PNP on Win7 and higher
FAILURE_BUCKET_ID: 0x9F_4_rtwlanu_IMAGE_usbhub.sys
BUCKET_ID: 0x9F_4_rtwlanu_IMAGE_usbhub.sys
PRIMARY_PROBLEM_CLASS: 0x9F_4_rtwlanu_IMAGE_usbhub.sys
I don't know what this default USB hub driver even is, and I am getting to the end of my technical know-how. I would be SO appreciative of any thoughts or tips you had to follow this one down the rabbit hole and figure out what is being wonky.
I have DXDIAG and MSINFO available, but not sure how to share it hereabouts.
Thanks!
