TV Service and DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE (1 Viewer)

[MightyPolo]

Hi.
Recently I have moved form Windows XP to Windows 7, everithing vent smoothly except one thing.

I regullary see that htpc crashed in to BSOD with error DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE.
Minidumps are here:
https://db.tt/TVHMM58Q
https://db.tt/gcZtwmNP
https://db.tt/b1bSpEGD
https://db.tt/Mi4QXETG
https://db.tt/wo2GX6GF

There is no sign of error in driver just NT Kernel & System. (https://db.tt/h3ua5Y48)

I was not able to find where the problem is.

Iam using this card AVerMedia H789 PCI-E Hybrid DVB-T (PCI\VEN_14F1&DEV_8880&SUBSYS_E1391461&REV_04) with Windows certified drivers.

Here are my observations:
When I moved DVBT card to other slot, then this problem stoped. I only then realised that TVService didnt know the card and so it was not using it. When I set card again, problém occured again.

I also reinstalled system without solving the issue.

What I suspect, is that problem is either with the way powermanagement is controlled or with cards drivers.

There was no issue on Windows XP with this hardware.

Here is of TVService log form last crash https://db.tt/2GFh0BY8.
It looks like crash appears 10 minutes after computer should have entered in to standby.

Please any help would by apriciated.
p.

Hello MightyPolo

I don't think I'm going to be able to help much with this. Driver issues are driver issues - best to report them to the hardware/driver vendor.

This page is a little useful:

Parameter 1 in your dump file is value 3. So:

A device object has been blocking an IRP for too long a time.

I don't really understand what that means. IRP is an I/O request packet... but why the device/driver would block it I don't know.

I take it you're using the latest drivers from AVerMedia, not the default Windows drivers?
Have you tried other versions of the driver?
Have you tried the default Windows driver (assuming such a driver exists)?

mm
PS: Good luck getting support from AVerMedia. In my experience they've been very unhelpful so I don't recommend their hardware.

Hi.
So I managed to change driver for their own and it seems that problem with BSOD is gone.

It was lame to assume that drivers pushed through windows udpate are best and stable

I bought this card for price of 8Euros as replacement for my old Leadtek, because that was not supported by Windows 7.
The best would be to get Hauppage, I know, but its not easy to get in Czech Republic.

Cheers.

That's great news - I'm glad I was able to help after all.
