BSOD when restarting windows after exteneded user session.

My PC has BSOD'ed on me several times when I tell it to restart windows. It keeps giving the DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE error in the BSOD.

I have traced the problem back to NTOSKRNL.EXE. the address in the stack is ntoskrnl,exe+78a8a. both times windows crashed during during the shutdown phase of a windows restart.

Full error:

ntoskrnl.exe ntoskrnl.exe+78a8a fffff80003408000 fffff800039ed000 0x005e5000 0x521ea035 8/28/2013 5:13:25 PM Microsoft® Windows® Operating System NT Kernel & System 6.1.7601.18247 (win7sp1_gdr.130828-1532) Microsoft Corporation C:\windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe 

Bug Check Code: 0x1000009f

I am not sure why my system is BSOD'ing on me, much less why ntoskrnl.exe is causing it. I'm not running or doing anything strange on my machine. Just BIONC (Seti@Home), games and the occasional document. I have already run SFC, as well as chkdsk, and the checksur utility, but nothing was found wrong. I ran a full scan using MSE and Malwarebytes, and came up clean there too. I want to know if this error's cause lies in the hardware or if windows is just complaining because I have had it running fro so long with out a restart.

If someone wants to look at the minidump files made by my system, let me know and I will post them to my skydrive. when I examined the minidumps using bluescreenview, only ntoskrnl.exe was highlighted in red. I can discern no other cause of this problem.

    I thought I had updated those already.... thanks for the heads up on those.

    I have uploaded the application and system event logs link is below.

    I don't know why you want me to run the windows 7 upgrade advisor, since Windows 7 came with the laptop. Toshiba only provided me with a factory restore option not a OS install disc so, any upgrade (repair) installs are out of the question , but here is the generated report.

    I thought it was amusing that the item "Internet Explorer (Enable DEP)" is listed as having a paid update

    heres a link to the exported data from msinfo: https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=FB6B5D18D0D968B!8009&authkey=!AKJSsCQLdgN_thE&ithint=file%2c.txt

    I booted into safemode and disabled verifier since my system kept bsod'ing on me. the exported data in msinfo.txt  was created under normal boot mode.

    Please try again following the instructions I gave earlier.

    Please provide a copy of your System Information file. Type System Information in the Search Box above the start Button and press the ENTER key (alternative is Select Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, System Information). Select File, Export and give the file a name noting where it is located. The system creates a new System Information file each time system information is accessed. You need to allow a minute or two for the file to be fully populated before exporting a copy. Please upload to your Sky Drive, share with everyone and post a link here. Please say if the report has been obtained in safe mode.

    yeah, I don't know what is going on. I told MSinfo to save the information, but it won't open it afterward. opening it with notepad reveals that the information is indeed there and has been recorded, but looks like xml code or something was used.   On a side note, after enabling driver verifier as directed, a BSOD occurs during every boot 000.fcl is the reported as the cause. the file is part of one of Cyberlink PowerDVD 13.  I know that under normal conditions (running without verifier) that no blue screen ever occurs, and that PowerDVD 13 is fully functional and does not crash at all. can I safely ignore this BSOD? I would supply a minidump just to be sure, except the whole dump process stalls at "initializing disk to record dump information (sic)"
