Hello,

I'm running Win 8.1 on my Toshiba Laptop, upon restarting I frequently get a "DRIVER STATE POWER FAILURE" BSOD.
I tried to disable the Bluetooth but that did not resolve the issue. I've uploaded the logs needed in the zip. Please help me out

Hi Boeder & Welcome to the forums ^_^,

I have analysed your dump files and below has been provided an analysis of the same for informative purposes :-
Code:
1: kd> !irp ffffe001b99b28c0 1
Irp is active with 2 stacks 2 is current (= 0xffffe001b99b29d8)

UserIosb = ffffd0002443f730
UserEvent = ffffd0002443f740
Overlay.AsynchronousParameters.UserApcRoutine = 00000000

So, the driver named "vpnva64-6.sys" is causing the problem. Let's check the date of this driver -
Code:
1: kd> lmvm vpn*
start             end                 module name
fffff800`1005d000 fffff800`1006d000   vpnva64_6 T (no symbols)

Hmm, old enough for Windows 8.1. Most of the Networking drivers went obsolete when the Windows 8.1 was launched.
This driver is related to your Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client. I would suggest you to find an updated software and if no update is present then kindly remove this software and see if you are still getting the BSOD's or not.

If you are still facing problems after this, kindly follow this advice by usasma (Thanks!)
- the presence of sptd.sys implies that DaemonTools is present. And DaemonTools has been causing BSOD's since the early Vista days. So kindly remove Daemon Tools.

- Truecrypt needs removing - the app is vulnerable, and this may contribute to attacks on the system from the outside. As these BSOD's seem to have networking issues at the core, this is a concern.

- the outdated tap0901.sys driver has been showing up more and more in different memory dumps across EightForums. As such I suspect that this driver has recently become incompatible w/8.1 and I always suggest that they update it to the latest, Windows 8.1 compatible version.

- finally, the Kaspersky can be causing problems due to corruptions (this is based on my past experiences with Internet Security apps, not because of anything that I saw in the dumps). The easiest way to solve this is to uninstall Kaspersky and then reinstall a fresh copy from the Kaspersky website. Why? It'll take us longer to troubleshoot and rule out Kaspersky than it will to uninstall/reinstall/update it. I'd do this last (after updating/removing everything else).

Let me know how it goes ^_^
