DRIVER_POW​ER_STATE_F​AILURE on windows 8.1

I got a Lenovo Ideapad S510p Touch in December of 2013 and it worked completely fine up until last month. I'm starting to get more and more DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE errors, and I've looked up countless ways to fix it but none of them work. I've tried not putting my computer in sleep mode, and that worked, until today. I haven't put it into sleep mode at all, and anhour after starting it up it gave me that error. I made sure that my headphones were unplugged before I started the machine as well (I heard that sometimes it doesn't like headphones for some reason). I'm honestly getting frustrated with all these "solutions" not working and how everyone just says "Update your BIOS!" because this laptop doesn't require a BIOS update, according to the Lenovo website. I'm confused as to what my problem is. Please let me know if you have a fix for it. Thanks

    hi emilosterby12,
    Can try to:

  • Re: ideapad U410 DRIVER_POW​ER_STATE_F​AILURE

    Hi Guys,
    Just got my U410 Touch and I am having frequent BSODs. I am no expert when it come to reading error logs, so I am hoping some people here can lend a hand. I have linked my 3 most recent minidump files which hopefully will lend a hand to working out the problem.

    I recently installed Win 8 Pro not realising all I had to do was copy the activation key to gain access to features. Even since I have had 101 problems re installing drivers that were installed. Bluetooth drivers being one of them. Hope that gives you enough information to help!
    Thanks in advance!

    ****EDIT****
    These problems started to appear after I installed Kaspersky which I have no uninstalled, then used the Kaspersky uninstall tool to finish the job, could Kaspersky still be the problem? I have just run sfc /scannow which seems to completed with no errors.
    Moderator Note; subject edited; post merged in.

    This sounds like a problem resuming from sleep.  Try updating the latest version of the power management drivers from the Lenovo support site.
    Did this always occur since you had the system, or only starting after something else?
    If you try hibernate instead of suspend, do you get he same result?

  • Problem with Threads and "plase wait..."-Window

    Hi everyone,
    I have a problem that I'm not able to solve in any way... I have a time-consuming task (a file decryption) which I execute in a separate thread; I've used the SwingWorker class, like suggested by sun-tutorial, and it works right. The problem is that I have to wait that the decryption have finished before continuing with program-execution. Therefore I would like to display a "please wait"-window while the task runs. I've tryed all the possible ways I know but the problem is always the same: the waitWindow is displayed empty, the bounds are painted but the contents no; it's only painted when the decrypt-task has finished. Please help me, I have no more resources....
    decrypt-file code:
    public class DecryptFile {
      private String cryptedFileNameAndPath;
      private ByteArrayInputStream resultStream = null;
      // need for progress
      private int lengthOfTask;
      private int current = -1;
      private String statMessage;
      public DecryptFile(String encZipFileNameAndPath) {
        cryptedFileNameAndPath = encZipFileNameAndPath;
        //Compute length of task...
        // 0 for indeterminate
        lengthOfTask = 0;
      public ByteArrayInputStream getDecryptedInputStream() {
        return this.resultStream;
       * Called from ProgressBarDemo to start the task.
      public void go() {
        current = -1;
        final SwingWorker worker = new SwingWorker() {
          public Object construct() {
            return new ActualTask();
        worker.start();
       * Called from ProgressBarDemo to find out how much work needs
       * to be done.
      public int getLengthOfTask() {
        return lengthOfTask;
       * Called from ProgressBarDemo to find out how much has been done.

        return current;
      public void stop() {
        current = lengthOfTask;
       * Called from ProgressBarDemo to find out if the task has completed.
      public boolean done() {
        if (current >= lengthOfTask)
          return true;
        else
          return false;
      public String getMessage() {
        return statMessage;
       * The actual long running task.  This runs in a SwingWorker thread.

          resultStream = AIUtil.getInputStreamFromEncZip(cryptedFileNameAndPath); //here the decryption happens
          current = 0;

    Maybe you can try setting the priority of the long-running thread to be lower? so that the UI will be more responsive...

  • I install window 8 and Unfortunatly all drive format. And all drive mix, now i have only 1 DRIVE C. I want Bit locker Drive's data Back

    Last sunday i install a window 8 and this window format my all drive & make it 1 drive (DRIVE C). Before all of this i have 5 drive in different size with 1 Bitlocker protect drive.
    So i try data recovery software to recover my data. i got back all my data without that ( bitlocker ) protected drive.
    so please guys help me how can i get back data from bitlocker protected drives.
    please please help me.

    Hi,
    I sorry for your experience, but there is no way to recovery the data encryped by BitLocker untill now.
    BitLocker is designed to make the encrypted drive unrecoverable without the required authentication. When in recovery mode, the user needs the recovery password or recovery key to unlock the encrypted drive. Therefore, we highly recommend
    that you store the recovery information in AD DS or in another safe location.
    Please refer to the link below for the statement:

  • HP LaserJet Enterprise 500 Color MFP M575 - Can't scan from Windows

    We recently purchased and installed an HP LaserJet Enterprise 500 Color MFP M575 to be used as a networked all-in-one solution for a number of offices. I have been able to get it set up on our network and have installed the appropriate drivers on the requested Windows 7 x64 machines, and network printing works perfectly. However, it seems that despite the fancy scanning features available from the all-in-one itself (scan to email, scan to a network folder, etc.), I can't find any way to do an old-fashioned scan from Windows.
    I have installed the full software solution available on the driver download page for the device, and while Windows lists the device as a "Multi Function Printer; Scanner" it does not recognize it as an actual scanner. The built-in Windows Fax and Scan simply reports that no scanners are installed. The software installation did not include the HP Solution Center (which I am used to seeing from my experience with various other HP all-in-one devices) or any equivalent for direct scanning. The driver download page for the device does not include any separate scanning drivers, so I can't be certain if they were included with the full installation or exist at all.Some of our staff also use Adobe Acrobat to scan, and even that fails to recognize the MFP as a scanner.
    We'll eventually be setting up the device to scan directly to a network folder, but we need a fallback while IT takes their time getting it set up; I can't imagine that the simplest option is not available at all. I must be missing something here, any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
    Edit: To add, I also ran the HP Print and Scan Doctor. Interestingly, it reports the device as a printer and only offers to "Fix Printing" without any sort of resolution for my scanning problem.

    There is no change to this problem after 6 months since the last post. Put simply, and as stated in the previous posts, there is no way to scan a document and receive the image on your PC. If you are working with graphics for any length of time or want to create an image for inclusion as an image in a document or web page using this piece of equipment will not allow you to do so.
    Great shame as every other function works well - it cannot be beyond the wit of HP to include a Windows application that enables you to scan an image, receive it in the software you are using at the time (e.g. Outlook, Word, Photoshop...) and use it in your work.
    HP Printers several years older than this £1000+ Enterprise printer were able to do this simple job and have done so for a great many years. Just being able to use Microsoft's Fax and Scan would be start.

  • Windows no longer detecting my Audigy 4?(Non-P

    Hey all. I've had my Audigy 4 (non-Pro) installed and working super for about 50 days, but it started giving me a weird problem. Windows was no longer detecting the card! It was weird. DX Diag, programs like EVEREST... they all report no sound card whatsoever.
    Here are my PC specs:
    XP Home Edition
    Albatron K8X800 Pro
    S754 3200+ ClawHammer
    x 2 OCZ ELPE 52 MB(2-3-2-5)
    Visiontek XTASY X850XT PE
    x 80 GB SATA 2 Seagate, x 80 GB Maxtor
    Some other things to note:
    XP has been repaired. Went from Service Pack , updates, and all the way to Service Pack 2. The card requires XP w/SP2, yes, so I have that covered.
    Onboard audio is disabled through the bios. I have AC'97 integrated audio on this.
    My motherboard has fi've PCI slots - although I can only access 4 because my video card is in the way, and I have tried three of those and I get the same problem.
    I have tried it in other PCs in my house, double-checked each time - so it is not ESD as I originally believed. It works just fine on those PCs. It is being not located only on MY PC.
    So guys and gals, I do not know what to do... I am stumped. It's the weekend so I can't call Creative support until Monday. I don't want to request an RMA through my warranty because clearly it's just a problem with my PC. What should I do?!Message Edited by Celsius on -26-2005 07:36 PM

    Device not recognized in iTunes

  • IPod Touch/Phone 4gens No Longer Detected in WINDOWS MY COMPUTER but OK in iTunes

    Since I have not found help online regarding the above situation I'm looking for help accordingly.   For most folks it's iTunes not detecting i-Devices, but my situation is unique.
    It started last night after I was on the phone for hours with Norton regarding error messages I was getting with Internet Security.  Those issues have been resolved.
    Again: iTunes detects and interacts successfully with ALL my iDevices.  Windows Vista > My Computer no longer does.
    Please help.

    Just now I performed the following:
    Turned off and turned back on AMDS(Apple Mobile Device) Service.
    Disabled Norton Internet Security, and tried checking if Windows would see my devices.
    For anyone who has Windows Vista you are familiar with the notes that play when you plug in a USB device: "da-dunk!"  Low-High note dadunk indicates connected.   High-low indicates it was disconnected.
    I can tell there is a problem because right after the Low-High dadunk in Vista I get a triple Low-note Du-du-dunk.
    Please help!

  • IPod is not recognized by Windows Vista - possible solution

    During the past couple of weeks that I faced this problem I found out that a lot of people had the same question as I did.
    Here is a possible solution.
    I have HP Pavilion laptop with Windows Vista. After I connected my new iPod – it didn’t show up in My Computer as a new device and in Device Manager it was listed in “Other devices” with a question mark next to it. I already had iTunes installed – it didn’t show up in iTunes. On the attempt to reinstall the driver I had a message that the driver was found but an error occurred while installing it.
    Here is what I did:
    1. Install iTunes (it has iPod driver for Vista in it).
    2. Turn on iPod and connect it to computer.
    3. Restart computer with iPod turned on and connected to computer.
    4. On the start up the computer will begin automatically installing the driver and the message will appear in the corner that new device is being installed.
    5. After it has been installed – check My Computer – you should see it listed there.
    6. Run iTunes and configure iPod.
    iTunes might run a little bit slow when configuring iPod for the first time.
    Good luck.

    if only this fix worked for windows xp or even 2000 (at my job)
    insane, but it IS a driver/usb problem i now know, at least i've gotten that far.

  • IPod not recognized by iTunes, Windows Vista prompts to format iPod drive

    Hello,
    I have IPod 80GB which I rarely use. Yesterday  when I wanted to use it, I went to add a few new audios to it, connected to my computer and launched iTunes. I added the folder which contained audios to iPod, synced it and wanted to disconnect, but iTunes took excepionally long to finish.
    When I clicked on 'eject' icon, I go a message saying 'some files are being accessed' or something like that. I waited for 5-10 minutes but it won't finish up, so I unplugged my iPod as I had to leave.
    Later when I wanted to play, I noticed I had no audios in iPod at all.
    Later when I got home, connected it again to computer, launched iTunes, but iTunes won't show iPod. A few minutes later, windows (Vista) prompted a message saying that it needs to format N: drive (which was iPod).
    I tried diagnostics on tis site, restarted/reset iPod etc, but it didn't solve the problem. I removed and reinstalled iTunes as per instructions, still no use.
    Then I called Apple support Canada and the guy on the phone said I need to pay to get support. He said he'd send me some documents via email which would solve the problem and hen I wouldn't have to pay. I gave him my email address, but so far I have recieved no emails from him. I have checked my spam and junk folders, just in case, but nothing there.
    Anyhow, this issue came up all of a sudden, there has been no physical damage to iPod, I barely use it. maybe for few minutes here and there a month. I have had numerous problems in the past every time a new iTunes update come, it always creates problems. Last year I spent many hours after iTunes update make iPod unrecognizable so I had to go back to older version, then upgrade etc. I don't remember how I solved the issue, but it took a while and it turned out to be something of iTunes version issue.
    I wonder if this is another of such issue. I hope its not a hardware issue with iPod. I'd appreciate any help.
    Thanks

    I just got Vista too and it does recognize my ipod, but itunes can't find a lot of my songs on the computer. I tried to uninstall itunes and reinstall it thinking that it would seach for new music when I installed it again but nothing new happened when I did that.

  • Windows no longer boots up, paging file error

    I just reinstalled windows on my mac last week because until now I had been running the old beta version of boot camp.
    Just a few days ago I started getting blue screens every so often and it happened again (twice to be exact) yesterday, however one of the times it booted up and informed me I might want to change my paging file size. Not quite sure what this was I went and found the paging file option in settings and found it was clicked on a set size...so I figured I'd set it on the option that lets windows decide for me hoping this would fix the blue screen problem.
    I shut down my computer later that night and now windows won't get to the desktop.
    When I start it up normally it runs the system check (which I cannot skip for some reason) which gets to 84% and then says \windows\Dump3865.tmp is cross-linked on allocation unit 1731772
    Above it it mentions there is an invalid size for my page file.
    I tried booting it up the in safe mode multiple times and every time it generates a list in dos and stops on windows\system32\Drivers\mup.sys
    I really don't want to have to reload windows again. Is there anyway to skip the system check (it says press anykey, but that has never worked for me) or any other way to get my paging files back to the way they were?
    Thank you.
    Oh I'm running leopard with windows XP professional on a macbook pro (last years model) if that helps in anyway.

  • Windows Vista No Disk Error

    Greetings,
    I have installed Oracle 10g Enterprise undee Windows Vista Home Edition using oracle proper installer for this OS. The installation went pretty well and so was the aftermath when I created a database and several schemas. A few days ago I have started getting a very strange and persistent error everytime Oracle's TNS and Listener are referred. The error comes fro Windows and states "Exception Processing Message 0xc0000013 Parameters 0x764F92A0 0x00000004 0x764F292A0 0x764F292A0" and the options I am prompted for are Cancell, Try Again and Continue. Whatever option I go to has to be hit over and over for about 7 times so that the message stops popping and I can continue. I say this error is reated to ORacle's TNS and Listener because when I try sqlplus /nolog I get no error, but if I enter the full connection string like slplus user/password@dbsid I get the error. The same error comes on TOAD when I first open it and it reads the TNSNAMES file to bring the TNS's within the file.
    Past this error by cancellin, trying again and again or continuing, all DB functionalities are just fine, no alerts, nor critical errors... Pretty weird hmm? Does anyone have any suggestion on what the issue is and what can be done to fix it?
    Appreciate all your inputs on this matter.
    Thiago Santana

    Actually there are no comments regarding Vista version under notes for 10.2.0.3.
    If You look at certify matrix under
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/support/metalink/index.html
    and search by Platform, then under Vista and 10gR2 You will see following notes:
    Oracle Database (EE, SE, PE and Client) are supported on these platforms:
    Business edition
    Enterprise Edition
    Ultimate Edition
    Home edition is not supported!
    But what I can suggest.
    Look into listner.log - are there any errors.
    Try to restart listener from the command line
    lsnrctl stop
    lsnrctl start
    Try to recreate listener service

  • IPod seen by windows, not by iTunes+ weird error message

    I have a first generation 2GB iPod nano and i use windows xp. I can't load any music because iTunes doesn't see my iPod and an error message pops up that reads like this: "iTunes: iTunes.exe corrupt file. The file or directory \iPod_Control\iTunes is corrupt and unredable. Please run the checkdisk utility." I've tried everything, reinstalling iTunes, different versions, reinstalling OS, resetting iPod, even on another computer, same problem. Other than that, the iPod works normally, it's just lacking music..
    and why is there no email adress from apple for service qustions? 10x

    I still don't get it, how can I put it in disk mode if I CANNOT see the iPod in iTunes..?
    Did you read the document i linked you to? here's another link to it:

    whereabouts in that procedure in that document (that you get to by clicking that link) does it say that you have to connect it to iTunes to put it into disk mode?

  • USB Device for IPOD not recognized by Windows, whether ipod connected or no

    During the past few days I have received a pop up error message from (I would think) Windows that the USB device is not recognized. I have the USB plug for the ipod connected (as always)but the ipod isn't even connected. It keeps popping up like every few seconds that the usb device is not recognized.
    When I attach the ipod itself, the ipod is recognizing it because it powers up. But, it took 10 times just to get the ipod to recognize through itunes. It updated, then immediately upon completion, windows again starting giving repeated error messages that the usb device wasn't recognized.
    I have downloaded the newest itunes but I had it on my system for 4 days with no problems whatsoever. I don't think that's it. No other system changes.
    I've deleted my temp files and cache. Also did a "disk clean up" and "defrag." It's still doing it.
    Any suggestions?

    I'm having the same problem. Ever since I upgraded to version 7, iTunes & my PC no longer recognise my iPod, and it therefore won't sync.
    It's not the USB port (other devices work in it), I rebooted my iPod and re-installed iTunes, I've tried stopping and starting the iPod Service (but can't see my iPod in My Computer). When I run the Diagnostics it says iPod connection failed. I've even bought a new USB cable but that doesn't work either.
    This is driving me up the wall. Is there a glitch with iTunes 7?
    Can anyone help me out?? Thanks
