    Dell XPS 13 9300 BSOD's Due to Driver_State_Power_Failure


    Hi all, first time poster, but have been in and out of this site for years when researching issues. Some background, info. I bought a brand-new Dell XPS 13 9300 last Summer and have basically had this problem ever since. Whenever I've tried to use sleep on this system, I would get BSOD's with the same error code, 0x00...9f. Over time I've tried many different things, including disabling sleep, only using hibernate, changing BIOS settings, updating all drivers, running tests, etc. Even when only using hibernate I'd get these crashes, and it almost always seemed related to closing the lid. I've used BlueScreenView to see logs when restarting. I've contacted Dell and their original answer was to turn off sleep in the BIOS, but when that didn't work, just to do a system refresh, which I haven't done. I recently decided to dig into the problem again after giving up for a while and have found some posts that pointed to the GoodFx fingerprint reader. This user was able to figure that out using WinDbg, which I've also tried to use. Based on the post, I turned off the option to allow windows to turn off the device, and it seemed to help for the last week. However, I came back to the laptop tonight and had another crash, pointing to pci.sys as the offending driver. Usually, ntsokrnl is the culprit. Needless to say, after spending the money to get a high-end laptop, I'm really frustrated to have to be dealing with this.

    Here's the link to the most recent dump related to pci.sys: Microsoft OneDrive - Access files anywhere. Create docs with free Office Online.

    Please let me know how I can share the previous dump that points to the usual message I get. Thank you all in advance for your help!

    It will make a log (FRST.txt) on the Desktop.
    The first time the tool is run, it makes also another log (Addition.txt) on the Desktop.

    Whilst I'm going through the logs, try this.

    Thanks, before I run though this, just to be clear, you're saying I should remove this option, correct? But also, I don't currently have this option in the advanced power options menu. The Dell power menu has very few options.

    I'm heading to bed, will be shutting the lid to test. Thanks for reviewing, will check in in the morning and let you know if it's crashed.

    Thanks for letting me know you are going offline.

    The goal is to > disable PCI Express power saving in Windows.
    Use the Add section in the link I posted.

    If that doesn't work, try google.

    hi @Camaroon83
    Please install this driver, restart computer and try to reproduce your problem:

    If not working try this one instead:
    https://www.dell.com/support/home/en...13-9300-laptop

    If nothing works, disable virtual WI-FI hotspot for your WI-FI card and see if it helps.

    Morning @jmatt, I had actually run in to this PCI solution way back when these issues were first occurring but couldn't get the option back in the power menu. However, in the first link you provided, downloading the reg file and merging it worked, so now I have the PCIe management in the power options. I went ahead and disabled it, so we'll see how that works. Btw, the laptop didn't crash last night while the lid was shut so that's a positive.

    @zebal, thanks for jumping in! Before I download that driver, just wanted to let you know that the current driver I have is new than that one. The version I have is 22.30.0.11, the version in your link is 22.30.0.4, A25, which is funny because it says it just came out. But I think I got my version directly from Intel's site. Do you still recommend that I update to the Dell version?

    Yes because you have a laptop, for laptops it's always better to have drivers from manufacturer.

    However I still find it strange because some of your bluetooth drivers (including mouse etc.) use some drivers from year 2006.

    Let me know if disabling wifi hotsport works after reboot.
