Vista Sleep to Unexpected Shutdown

I have recently been experiencing "unexpected shutdown" errors. I'm
running 32-bit on a Dell Inspiron 1520 with what I believe are all
up-to-date drivers. The error information is as follows:

Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: BlueScreen
OS Version: 6.0.6001.2.1.0.768.3
Locale ID: 1033

Additional information about the problem:
BCCode: 9f
BCP1: 00000003
BCP2: 83A3EDA0
BCP3: 861BD030
BCP4: 846AB688
OS Version: 6_0_6001
Service Pack: 1_0
Product: 768_1

Files that help describe the problem:
C:\Windows\Minidump\Mini102308-01.dmp
C:\Windows\Temp\WER-41870-0.sysdata.xml
C:\Windows\Temp\WER12A5.tmp.version.txt

Read our privacy statement:

I have searched all over the internet for BlueScreen 9f BCCodes but
most of them seemed to not apply specifically for me. A lot of people
seemed to think that this kind of error is hardware-based and, because
this laptop is over a year old, I wouldn't argue too quickly about that.
I only hope that there might be something I'm missing?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Drew

Hi,

Can you send this file to me at rick_at_mvps_dot_org using a subject line of
'per req'? It may contain information needed to help diagnose the cause:

Maybe this helps: 'You receive a Stop 0x9F error when you wake a Windows
Vista-based computer that is connected to an IEEE 1394-based device'

Thanks so much for the timely responses. In the previously posted link,
this is stated:

SYMPTOMS
When you wake a Windows Vista-based computer from sleep, you may
receive a Stop 0x9F error message that resembles the following:
STOP 0x0000009F (parameter1, parameter2, parameter3, parameter4)
DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE
This problem occurs when a device that uses an Institute of Electrical
and Electronics Engineering (IEEE) 1394 connection is connected to the
computer. For example, the device may be a Maxtor One Touch II 300GB
model external hard disk, an Apple iPod, or some other IEEE 1394-based
device.

The next time I use the Windows partition I will apply the update given
in the article.

Howerver, I was reading that some laptop webcams have caused this
problem on various computers so I reinstalled my respective drivers.
However, I do sync an iPod using this computer and am wondering how an
iPod could cause a power state failure, especially because it is only
connected while syncing. Any ideas?
