I just built a new machine with a clean install of Windows 11 but it seems to be randomly crashing and rebooting. My previous build was a Intel 7700K build and now the new one is an AMD one. I did bring over a few data drives that have games on them but otherwise everything is fresh including a brand new M.2 main system drive. I've tried reinstalling pretty much all the drivers I can think of but it still persists.

The dump file says the following
DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE (9f) , I then which I scrolled down and it seems to point to storahci.sys as the culprit. But I have no idea how to fix this issue.

Looking around online it seems that the drives going to sleep is causing the crash but Im not sure what to do to fix this, the only
"fix" Ive read is to disable drive sleep, but I really dont want my two HDD to constantly be spinning if they dont need to be.

Upload the dump file to a cloud service with a link to it here. Depending on the type of 0x9F bugcheck we may need the kernel dump in C:\Windows\Memory.dmp, so please copy that file to somewhere safe (a temp folder will do).
 
update the BIOS of the motherboard within the bios, not windows

check the hard drive for errors with its manufacturer´s tool and if available, update the firmware

which hardware are you using?
Updated BIOS that way, I never use the windows method, seems harder.

The drives works fine on my old system

updated hardware specs is in the little tag

Seems I'm not alone on this issue, seems to be some weird issue with AMD chipsets on specific boards and setups. Cannot find a clear solution to the issue other then turn off drive sleep.
