Driver_power_state_failure

Often my system crashes with the error message "DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE.
Error number 0000009F.
This happens when the system is idle for a period of time. I have "never
sleep" set up as my power saver options. Usually, it kicks in the screen
saver but these days it often crashes before it goes to screen saver. I also
had a system freeze with error message "Login process has failed to create
the security option dialog. FAILURE - SECURITY OPTIONS". This afternoon,
another strange error which said something like this: "picture in the slide
show did not load in the memory" and the system froze.

Any help will be appreciated.

In Control Panel choose Problem Reports and Solutions (type problem in
Start's searchbox), go to Problem History, right click your error and choose
Check For Solution. You can also examine the details.

In Administrative Tools choose Reliability and Performance Monitor and
choose MonitoringTools then Reliability Monitor (type Reliability in search
on Start) . This list is a chart of software installs, uninstalls, Windows
updates, and crashes by date. See if your crashes started happening after
you installed or uninstalled something.

Do you have an external USB storage device (drive)? I had one that was
failing, and if I left my system for any length of time with that drive
attached, I would get the DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE crash, never otherwise.

I am repeatedly getting this problem on Windows 7 Home Premium, I tried to
foillow the advice given here but the information I get doesn't really help
me work out what is installed that might be causing the issue.

It happens after a period when the system has been idle but not always
immediately after, it can happen after a period of activity following a
period of inactivity (if you see what I mean). I have attached an example of
the "problem details" from last night's crash. Can anyone please tell me how
I find out what it is that is causing the crash.
