DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE

Keysandrew · March 1, 2015

This all started when my Microsoft Life cam 5000 stopped working and it would spam the USB identification noise over and over again until I unplugged it. When ever I shut down my PC, windows will shutdown, but my system will stay on and the fans,lights,mouse and keyboard will still be running. When I forcefully shut the system down by holding down the power button, a blue light on my MSI X99 PLUS motherboard stays on and my Tt-esports mouse's light stays on. Not until I physically remove the power cord from my power supply and plug it back in does my PC shut off correctly. When ever I try to uninstall or install something on my system it will be stuck on the 'initializing' progress bar and it will show no progress. Whenever I try to access my devices and printers part of the control panel, it freezes and wont stop until I restart file explorer via the task manager. Whenever I try to restart my system, it will be stuck on the 'restarting' screen until windows 8.1 crashes and gives my the error 'DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE' and then windows forcefully restarts. I think the cause of all this is that the drivers for my Life cam where not installed correctly and it screwed my hole system up. I want to uninstall the drivers for life cam but whenever I try to do it, I get a empty progress bar every time no matter what method I try. Does anyone know the solution to this problem? None of the front panel connectors work either (one USB 3.0 port, one USB 2.0 port, one audio in and mic in). Everything else on my system works, thanks for trying to help!

The DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE bug check has a value of 0x0000009F. This bug check indicates that the driver is in an inconsistent or invalid power state.

You sure it's not just faulty?

Anyway, Use a program like CCLeaner to remove it. Should do the job.

Or stop it from starting in msconfig.
