A Windows Vista-based computer that uses a PCI-E graphics device may stop responding when you wake the computer from sleep
When you wake a Windows Vista-based computer from sleep (S3), the computer may stop responding (hang). When this problem occurs, the screen first becomes black. Then, you may eventually receive a Stop error message that resembles the following:
*** STOP: 0×0000009F(parameter1, parameter2, parameter3, parameter4)
DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE
This problem may occur if the following conditions are true:
- The computer is using a PCI-Express (PCI-E) graphics device.
- The computer’s firmware grants native support to the operating system for PCI-E features.
- PCI-E Active State Power Management (ASPM) is enabled on the PCI-E graphics device.
This problem may occur intermittently.
