Stop 9F Driver Power State Failure

Anonymous

I frequently get STOP 9F bugchecks after my system has been running for awhile and I attempt to put it to sleep or hibernate.

Below is the Bugcheck Analysis:

Can anyone help with this?

I hve identified the problem, but unfortunately do not have a solution. The problem is indeed the dirver NETw5s64.sys.

see --> http://communities.intel.com/thread/10055 for additonal discussion of the problem Intel needs to update this driver.

If I connect using a wired connection, all works as it should. I can put the system to sleep and wake it up as it should work. However, if I connect using the wireless connection, after using it for some amount of time, the computer will not sleep. THe screen goes blank, disk activity continues for some time and eventually the system gets to STOP 9F.

This and other prblems with this driver and discussed in the above link!!

That driver looks OK. Although the date appears off, the version is correct.

You can always right-click the "Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter" in the Device Manager and select "Disable" to take this device out of the picture as it is not necessary for the wireless adapter to function.

I took a look at the Intel forums and it appears quite a few users are having an issue with the NETw5s64.sys in Windows 7.

Here's some of the problems reported:

What you could try is to update to the latest drivers:

If problems persist it may then be worthwhile to turn on the Driver Verifier and see if perhaps another driver may be causing instability.

It may be too early to tell, but I am optimistic about a solution that seems to be working so far. As I mentioned above, I was getting good results from unchecking “Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power” for all network adaptors which included:

Intel(R) 82577LM Gigabit Network Connection

Intel(R) Centrino® Ultimate- N 630 AGN

Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter

However, the problem this created was a slow response to reconnecting the wireless network and an error in the “Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter” that cause it to be stopped by Windows.

Now I have unchecked “Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power” only for the “Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter”. So far sleep is working fine and the “Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter” does not get an error on wake up.

If I understand it correctly, the “Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter” allows multiple network connections through the same adapter. If that is the case, the hardware is really controlled by “Intel(R) Centrino® Ultimate- N 630 AGN” and “Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter” really does not control the power to any hardware. If so, it should not have a Power Management tab at all in Device Manger.

In any case, after some more time, I’ll update you again on how things are going.

Forget the above, it didn't work. I've already installed Intel's latest driver which also did not correct the problem, so next I try the verifier.

Did the verifier, restarted my system and it start up - no problem, no messages, no BSOD. What now? Maybe Intel should hire a new programer to write a driver that works!
