BSOD DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE FAILURE_BUCKET_ID: 0x9F_3_ACPI_IMAGE_

BSOD happens when I leave my computer on for some time, 3 to 8ish hours. I have blackdesert running in the background.

Hello and welcome to TenForums :)

The crash dump reveals that you have a failure due to a device object blocking an IRP for too long.

Code:

DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE (9f)
A driver has failed to complete a power IRP within a specific time.
Arguments:
Arg1: 0000000000000003, A device object has been blocking an Irp for too long a time
Arg2: ffffb202353f6840, Physical Device Object of the stack
Arg3: ffff8401f78f68e0, nt!TRIAGE_9F_POWER on Win7 and higher, otherwise the Functional Device Object of the stack
Arg4: ffffb20243721670, The blocked IRP

Code:

Intel(R) Serial IO I2C Driver: iaLPSS2_I2C iaLPSS2_I2C.sys Tue Aug 9 03:22:41 2016

See if you can update this INTEL driver using their online driver update tool: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/

The 9F bugcheck is caused when a device fails to change power states after a timeout period.

Your I²C driver, iaLPSS2_I2C.sys, is blocking Power IRPs, this is stopping your PCI bus from changing power states, which in turn is causing the bugchecks.

I'd suggest updating your chipset drivers Support for Alienware Aurora R6 Drivers. Specifically Intel Serial IO Driver, and Intel Chipset Device Software Driver.

All of the bsod mini dump bug checks were 9f.
There were 3 misbehaving drivers.
IRP Intel driver: iaLPSS2_I2C.sys
nvlddmkm.sys Nvidia graphics
iastora.sys Intel rapid storage

1) Open administrative command prompt and type or copy and paste:
2) sfc /scannow
3) dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
4) chkdsk /scan
5) When these have completed > right click on the top bar or title bar of the administrative command prompt box > left click on edit then select all > right click on the top bar again > left click on edit then copy > paste into the thread
6) Please update the system specs:

Please include PSU, cooler, case, peripherals (mouse, keyboard, joystick) and anything attached to the computer by wireless and wired (printer, headset, xbox, etc.)

7) The best way to fix the misbehaving Nvidia driver is to uninstall everything Nvidia using Display driver uninstaller and install new drivers from the computer manufacturer's website or from the Nvidia website.

The computer manufacturer's web site is preferred. Enter the computer's serial or product number and the operating system to view available drivers.

If you use the Nvidia web site be sure the "clean install" box is checked and only install the graphics driver and the physx driver.

At the end its clear that the Intel chipset driver iaLPSS2_I2C.sys and iaStorA.sys are the culprit.

I ran into BSOD 3 times tonight. The proposed solutions did not work.

Here's the list of things I tried this morning:
Upgraded all drivers on the app I downloaded from http://downloadcenter.intel.com/
Upgraded chipset drivers from Support for Alienware Aurora R6 Drivers
Clean install the Nvidia drivers(only graphic and physX) using Display Driver Uninstaller.
Reinstalled Intel RST.

Attached the new logs(Removed older dumps to meet upload attachment size limit).

If you check carefully you will see that the iaLPSS2_I2C.sys driver I suggested you change has not been updated. It still shows the same date in the latest logs. The iaStorA.sys driver is also unchanged. Only the NVidia driver was updated but clearly this has not helped.

It might be that there are no newer drivers available at this time from DELL.

Did you use this page? http://www.dell.com/support/home/uk/en/ukdhs1/drivers/driversdetails?driverId=FC98F&fileId=1943119155&osCode=WT64A&productCode=alienware-aurora-r6-desktop&languageCode=en&categoryId=CS

You may need to manually install newer drivers from INTEL.
