Bluescreen after resume from hibernate

[LonelyPixel]

Hi,

I have installed Windows 7 32-bit on my notebook, a ThinkPad X60s, with Core Duo CPU and 1 GB RAM. It used to run very well. But for a few days now, it crashes with a bluescreen every time it resumes from hibernate. I use standby and hibernate a lot. When rebooting, Windows tells me that there has been a problem and I could have it search for solutions online. When I select this option, the searcher process soon ends and I never hear from it again. I have no idea why it suddenly doesn't work anymore.

I have recently replaced the hard disk with an SSD (OCZ Vertex 2) and installed Windows freshly on it. All Windows updates are installed. But none of these events is around the beginning of those crashes.

I thought that the fingerprint reader could cause it, because it always delayed the Windows start/resuming. So I disabled its use for login and uninstalled it from the device manager. After a restart, Windows re-installed it automatically, so that wouldn't work. Obviously I can't just remove the device from the notebook... Then I deactivated the device, now it's disabled. But Windows still crashes.

Where can I search now? For now, Windows 7 just is not stable. The only solution I can imagine is switching to Windows XP (it worked for years before on that machine) or Linux (problems, too...) but actually that isn't really an option.

Try BlueScreenView.This may give you pertinent information on the offending software/hardware.If not,you may be able to find what is causing this by browsing around in Event Viewer.

Hope this helps

Thank your for BlueScreenView! It showed that the driver ataport.sys was responsible for all my recent bluescreens. I assume that this is caused by the replacement of the disk. You really need this tool because it's the only thing that can display the causing driver name. It can render a blue screen like it may have appeared, including the driver name, but that was definitely not displayed by Windows in the moment it crashed!

I can also say that the blue screen only happens when I left the system in standby, it then went down to hibernate after a time and I resumed it from there. The empty login screen appears, the mouse cursor doesn't react for like 20 seconds, then I get to see my user name, the mouse cursor jumps my last movements and in the same moment, the bluescreen appears.

I'll now ask the SSD manufacturer for advice.

Quite welcome.

MANEMAN should get the credit.I had heard of this peogram in times past but have never had a chance to use it for I have never experienced a bluescreen.I do occasionally have minor issues and usually track the offender(s) by mucking about in Event Viewer.

Glad it worked for you and if you need further assist,please do not hesitate to ask.

Wow, a bit of googling later, this crash seems to be common for OCZ SSDs and Windows 7 waking from some standby mode. Not exactly what I see but very close. There doesn't seem to be a solution to it. Maybe SSDs just aren't ready yet and I'll have to return mine.

My referrence to MANEMAN should have read:"MANEMAN is always harping on this as a way to identify the cause of Bluescreen".;)
