work. Here's the msg I get:

Hello guys most of you have a BCCode: 9f

Bug Check 0x9F: DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE
The DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE bug check has a value of 0x0000009F.
This indicates that the driver is in an inconsistent or invalid power
state.

Its possible the driver or your system is not correctly detecting the
power states of the device causing it to blue screen when it trys to
suspend or shutdown, recommend a BIOS update from your motherboard maker
and driver update for your system.

withheld you are getting a different BCCode to everyone else
Bug Check 0x7F: UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP
The UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP bug check has a value of 0x0000007F.
This indicates that a trap was generated by the Intel CPU and the kernel
failed to catch this trap.

Bug check 0x7F usually occurs after the installation of faulty or
mismatched hardware (especially memory) or in the event that installed
hardware fails.

Try using different hardware untill you find the faulty component.

thanks dmex.

My CPU is AMD is that makes a difference. No memory has been added. This
just started occuring a few weeks ago. I recently tried adding Logitech's
Squeezebox duet remote - allows for streaming music between the pc and the
stereo. But it's a remote/ Would that cause it?

Any device could be causing the 0x7F error code, it means some device
failed.

I keep getting the 9f blue screen error when the loptop goes on sleep mode or
hibernate. This is a brand new dell and tech support updated the bios for me
as well as many other things and it keeps happening. The replaced the laptop
for a brand new one and I had the same issue. Just today they upgraded the
video card to a 256 nvidia and I still get the error. I already spent over 20
hours with dell tech support and they seem clueless. I'm thinking of
downgrading to XP to see if that is going to resolve it as I don't think
there is an solution from Microsoft for this problem yet.

many programs also use drivers, try uninstalling everything including
any programs that came with the computer and check the dell website for
the all the latest drivers for your motherboard then install them
all...see if that helps

This thread has been helpful and I would like to contribute some other
possible solutions.

I am also receiving the BCCode 9f blue screen error associated with
putting Windows to sleep. I am running Vista Home Premium 32bit on a
brand new Dell Inspiron 1420 with 4GB RAM. When I received the laptop I
formatted the drive and did a clean install of Vista and a lot of third
party software and some hardware, as well as 2x2GB RAM purchased from
Crucial (to avoid the Dell price gouging).

I did some further digging and these points may be related:

Dell has a brand new BIOS update that I just installed (A07 released
this month - upgraded from A06). This may be a fix.

It is possible that Vista will actually have problems if you give it
TOO MUCH RAM. Ridiculous, I know. But I Googled around and saw some
potential issues. One problem I had is that Vista had repeatedly failed
to install Windows update KB929777. I found a solution to this:

Go to your Windows Update history, uninstall KB929777 (not intuitive, I
know). Then restart and check for updates. KB929777 should install
successfully the second time.

I just upgraded my BIOS and did the KB929777 fix. I will see if this
prevents future crashes. As anyone with this problem knows, the only
way to test for a fix is to just use your laptop for a few days and
repeatedly put it to sleep and wake it up, and wait for the crash, or
not, hopefully.

I would definitely suggest that anyone who has this problem with a new
laptop work aggressively to determine whether it is a Vista problem or a
hardware problem so that you can act accordingly while under warranty.
That is what I am doing. If these steps don't fix it I will be
reverting to XP SP2 as a next step. If that doesn't fix it then it's
the dreaded phone call to Dell.

Cheers,

E.
