0×0000009F DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE error when imaging Dell Latitude E4300 and E6400
I’m currently using Microsoft Config Manager to deploy windows Vista Sp1 to various Dell laptops and desktops, including the Latitude E4300 and E6400. The E4300 and E6400 are both using unique Driver Packages with specific drivers downloaded from the Dell website particular to the model. The issue I am getting is after the OS, the driver pack have been deployed and the task sequence issues the first restart, the machines will sometimes sit there for around 10 minutes, then blue screen with a 0×0000009F DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE error when imaging Dell Latitude E4300 and E6400. The strange thing is that the issue is random. Sometimes the machine reboots without blue screening. The machine can be manually reset and will continue the task sequence and the build
All other hardware that we are imaging is fine apart from these 2 models. I have tried stripping out all the drivers from the drive pack, the laptops seem ok. If I stuff just the NIC driver in, it will blue screen. I have tried both the Dell Nic driver and the latest Intel driver with the same results.
The laptops are definitely not getting any drivers from other packages as we are using WMI querying on the packages.
Has anyone else had this issue?
Thanks
Glen

Glen,
Any luck with this? I am seeing this on the 4300 as well with ConfigMgr OSD. I have yet to see it on our e6400 build. very strange.
Thanks.

Seeing the same on the E6500, have a hunch it may be related to the SATA Mode in BIOS as I used to change it to ATA mode but recently started leaving it at IRRT which is the default. Have not been able to verify this yet.

I to am having the same issue on my E6400. it also happens at ramdom times making it hard to figure out. anyway, there was another post where a gentleman had the same issue and tracked the driver to being his wifi-link 5300.
I have the wifi-link 5100, either way the solution listed was to go into device manager, click on Network adapter, right click on the wifi card, click properties, click on power managment, the uncheck the box that says "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power". I did that and sof far have'nt had that blue screen again.
Hope this will work for you.

I keep getting this too. I raffn Sigverif.exe to see what unsigned drivers I may have and the only ones that stood out were the Dell provided nvidia drivers and one Cisco VPN driver (VPN has never been active when this BoSOD happens though).
I am using Vista x32 but have not checked the SATA mode. dwalker136 Which mode have you been getting the error happening in?
EDIT: Forgot to say, I have an E6500, nVidia GFX, Intel 5300 Wi-Fi, etc.
EDIT 2: Just trying the power save idea mentioned above, will report back if it happens again
