BSOD on wake from sleep


Recommended Posts

Hey, I have a three year old secondary PC that I just recently started using again after about a year in storage. I did a clean reinstall of Windows 7 x64 a few days ago. Now that I have everything set up for use I'm getting BSODs every time I wake the PC from sleep. I need some help tracking down the culprit.

Here are some details:

Problem signature:

I'm also attaching the minidump file to this post as I don't have the software necessary to decode them. I'm hoping someone here can help with it.

Checked all my connections and drivers. I have a feeling that it's my Logitech Gaming Software that's doing it. Their 8.xx drivers have always been glitch as hell when it comes to waking from sleep. The minidump file says it could be caused by wininit.exe which probably leads to LCore.exe

I'm seeing I/O errors in the dump file, it's a common issue with some SSDs, especially OCZ drives with problematic controllers. You might want to upgrade the firmware/AHCI driver if you have an SSD. Disable any power saving utilities and set your power option to "High Performance'. Install Windows on a regular HDD to see if that also causes BSODs. Test your SSD/HDD with any utilities such as SeaTools

Update your Realtek RTL8168D/8111D Family PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC driver (Rt64win7.sys):

I'll try the Ethernet driver next. I just updated my BIOS which I was unaware would default back to IDE mode; I switched it back to AHCI but now my SATA drives are not appearing as removable drives anymore. I'm currently doing a full format on a 1 TB external drive that hasn't been working so once that's finished I'll get back to troubleshooting.

Updated drivers, still does it.

I went ahead and did a reformat + fresh install of Win 7 and incrementally tested it after installing each device. It seemed to work up until I installed the latest NVidia video card drivers, after that I got a BSOD on wake again.

It could be a coincidence and that I was just lucky with my previous tests even though I sleep/woke it at least twice for each test as it doesn't do it every time, but close (~75%).

My next step is going to be installing old NVidia drivers and see how that works.

    • Closed-loop cooling and a custom 800G network protocol let the $7.3B campus run as one AI training machine. Microsoft confirmed June 23, 2026, that its Fairwater campus in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, is fully operational — and the engineering behind it makes the facility something fundamentally different from every data center that came before it. Where conventional cloud infrastructure racks up general-purpose servers and parcels out workloads to each one independently, Fairwater links hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GB200 Blackwell GPUs into a single, coherent cluster using a two-story building design, 800-gigabit-per-second Ethernet fabric, and a proprietary networking protocol co-developed with OpenAI and NVIDIA. The result, according to Microsoft, is the closest thing to a purpose-built AI supercomputer that any company has ever placed in commercial operation. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319205/20260627/microsoft-opens-fairwater-wisconsin-ai-campus-runs-one-supercomputer-via-800g-ethernet.htm
