Latitude 5400 Sleep Crashes in Windows 10 2004

Unfortunately I am also reporting my 4 of 4 my Latitude 5400 are exhibiting poor sleep behaviour and more often than not they are not resuming from sleep cleanly, and may not turn back on, or after some delay will BSOD and reboot. The computer reports entering into connected standby prior to the BSODs.

This is what I am using:

  • Dell factory Windows 1909 image
  • Upgraded to Windows 2004 update
  • Upgraded all drivers and BIOS to current as of June 2020 using Dell Command
  • BIOS v 1.7.4

BSOD Details:

This was probably caused by the following module: pdc.sys (0xFFFFF8041829E5D0)
Bugcheck code: 0x14F (0x4, 0x2, 0xFFFFF8041829E5D0, 0xFFFF9D8FD66E5A50)
Error: PDC_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT
file path: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\pdc.sys
description: Power Dependency Coordinator Driver
Bug check description: This indicates that a system component failed to respond within the allocated time period, preventing the system from exiting connected standby.
This is likely to be caused by a hardware problem.
The crash took place in a Microsoft module. Your system configuration may be incorrect. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver on your system that cannot be identified at this time.

Notes:

  • Windows 2004 no longer supports Connected Standby alterations via Registry. Its also called Modern Standby now in Microsoft literature... but not in the OS itself.
  • I have removed Sleep modes for users and added Hibernate instead... not too many complaints yet but its early days.

I can confirm that my XPS 13 9380 is experiencing the exact same behavior after upgrading to Windows 10 2004.

I got the same thing going on Windows 10 2004 with a Precision 5540.

I think clean installs are OK. Not sure though. Gotta ask my employees.

The latest BIOS brought the crashes down a bit but its during sleep and hibernate modes.

Any fix incoming from MSFT or Dell?

Getting the same issue with some 5540 and 7410. Not all of them though which is interesting. 

They are all on 1909 Enterprise internally built images.

There is a new BIOS image now. It doesn't neccessarily address the issue but its out there for testing

I have similar problem on 5400

Clean install? No, no, no.... i have a lots of apps, configurations and I am using Bitlocker.

Dear Dell, what's wrong with you? BSOD with PDC.sys is fatal.

I has this BSOD in two cases:

1. When disconnect dock WD19,

2. When laptop without WD19 goes to sleep

Other cases I dont want check.

My company goes to Dell laptop's from Lenovo Thinkpad (series T, X, P, Carbon). Our internal IT Support has not believed for the year that your (Dell) laptops and dock stations are so weak...

Also 5400 model heats up much higher than similar laptop from Lenovo

Why nobody from Dell support can't pick up one machine and install all the latest drivers and newest Windows 10 2004 and wait a day for bluescreen ? I got it on both our Latitude 5400 and 5401 models
I'm fighting with BSOD's for weeks now
At beggining it was mainly NTOSKRNL.exe which caused the bluescreens, but last days it is also PDC.sys and watchdog.sys which causes the same - BSOD !
Dell, when shall we expect real solutions instead of constant driver testing and waiting for BSOD to appear sometimes after few days - we are not your testers
I have 300 Dell laptops today and we can't go for newest Windows version due to mentioned bsod's.

We are seeing this on Windows 10 1909 with 3 users with 5400s.  Ensured BIOS and graphics are latest version.  Seems to be exclusively when waking up from sleep.

Have 2 new Latitude 5510's here, of which only 1 is encountering these issues. Running factory image, no major modifications.

Have just upgraded BIOS from 1.2.16 to 1.3.1 (released 2 days ago, not yet visible in Command Update but available through the website). Fingers crossed...

Can confirm. Fresh image of Windows 10 Pro 2004 with all the latest windows and dell updates, and out of 16 or so Dell 5400 laptops about half are doing this when coming out of sleep mode. Temporary fix is to disable sleep.. but I would rather not have to resort to that for all the machines. Hardware diagnostics on two of them gave the same result code of "No Issues Found"

My interaction with Dell support so far:

1. They wanted to replace all the mainboards in the laptops: I declined

2. Support person remoted on and toggled OFF and back ON hibernate mode (did nothing) - a waste of 1 hour.

3. They want me to disable CPU C States - Unacceptable - they don't want the CPU to sleep???

4. I offered to share my BSOD captures - its like the support team have no idea what that is and how it can be used to identify the issues Windows faces upon waking up.

5. I simply cannot be bothered with their line of enquiry to this issue. 

6. I am also having a similar issue with 5510 now... waking up from Connected Standby is a joke!
