Solved Driver_Power_State_Failure

Good Day Everyone

I've buildt my first real rig,, but of this failure I won't get rid : )

No, but seriously:

All I have - till now - is the BSOD upon, and the Data from BlueScreenViewer... led me here at least.

What did I try: Chkdsk, Memory Checks (OCCT, Windows), installing Windows 11 and much more.
Long story short: I don't believe it's the Hardware causing this issue.

I would be very pleased for any kind of help.

Here's what BlueScreenViewer says

PS: Forgot to say: The error occurse at Rebooting + ShuttingDown

No, this isn't a hardware issue, it will because a driver is failing to respond to a bus enumeration request in time. This is going to be difficult to debug because of who completes the request but I suspect that your rtp_filter.sys driver may be causing issues. It looks like its a file system filter driver and those are notorious for causing funky problems.

Could you please open an elevated command prompt and enter the following commands:


Please post the output in your next post.

There you go

C:\Windows\System32>sc qc rtp_filter

The debugging reported:

rtp_filter rtp_filter c:\windows\system32\drivers\rtp_filter.sys

This driver is related to Avira software.






The log files were cluttered with problem reports from Avira.
Please uninstall this software.





The Avira Security Updater service failed to start due to the following error:
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.

A timeout was reached (30000 milliseconds) while waiting for the Avira Security Updater service to connect.

The Avira Phantom VPN service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 1 time(s). The following corrective action will be taken in 5000 milliseconds: Neustart des Diensts.

The Avira Optimizer Host service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 1 time(s). The following corrective action will be taken in 0 milliseconds: Neustart des Diensts.




On this new rig other findings were controller errors.


The embedded controller (EC) returned data when none was requested.
The BIOS might be trying to access the EC without synchronizing with the operating system.
This data will be ignored.
No further action is necessary; however, you should check with your computer manufacturer for an upgraded BIOS.



The driver detected a controller error on \Device\RaidPort3.

Ok, thx, I'll try emmidiatly;
The BIOS is up to date - so I guess I'll have to sit and wait or open another thread.

It does seem possibly related to Avira from what I could find. Once you've run the removal tool, then I would suggest opening an administrative command prompt and then entering the following command:


Please post the output in your next post but I mostly just want to check that the rtp_filter.sys driver is no longer listed there. If it is, then I can provide additional instructions on how to remove it safely.

I deinstalled Avira, but the Problem remained. I could deinstall it again - if you say so - but baically i think it of no use.

FRST Registry Search
1. Click your Start button and type in cmd.
2.After you find the Command Prompt, right click on it and select Run as Administrator.
3. Copy and paste the following into the Command Prompt:

reg load HKLM\DRIVERS C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\DRIVERS

4. Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop.
Note: You need to run the 64-bit Version so please ensure you download that one.
5. Run FRST64 by Right-Clicking on the file and choosing Run as administrator.
6. Copy and paste rtp_filter into the Search box and click the Search Registry button.
7. When the scan is complete a notepad window will open with the results. Please attach this to your next reply. It is saved on your desktop named SearchReg.txt.

Thanks, please run the following script below, please note that the script will request to reboot the system, so please ensure that you have everything saved and have closed all your applications before running.

FRST Fix
NOTICE: This script was written specifically for this user, for use on that particular machine. Running this on another machine may cause damage to your operating system
1. Download the attached fixlist.txt and save it to the Desktop.
Note. It's important that both files, FRST64 and fixlist.txt are in the same location or the fix will not work (in this case...the desktop).
2. Run FRST64 by Right-Clicking on the file and choosing Run as administrator.
3. Press the Fix button just once and wait. If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
4. When finished FRST64 will generate a log on the Desktop (Fixlog.txt). Please post the contents of it in your reply.

Afterwards, please also check that the driver is missing using the fltmc filters command as mentioned earlier.

let the system restart normally ...hmmm ... it sure didn*t do that, but that's not where I see the trouble now:
It looks like the program terminatet itself after "rebooting", as ment: It wasn't a clean reboot
What I got I attach and post

So, it is gone, but the filename is different ->

What do you mean by the file name is different? The driver is now gone at least so I would continue to use the system as you normally would.

I'm not sure why you've attached the same file from earlier? The new file would have been fixlog.txt; fixlist.txt would have been overwritten with that when you ran the FRST fix script.

Well, as said the Program terminated itself, so it's not on my Desktop anymore, and the file you wanted existed till the reboot...

It will terminate itself because it needs to reboot the system, I deliberately wrote a reboot into the script and the file should exist so I'm not sure what happened there. In either case, it looks like it was successful otherwise the driver would have still been listed, so I would continue to use the system as you normally would, and then upload any dump files if the system crashes again.

Well, actually ....
Avira - i told you i reinstalled it - wasn't all too happy about that change, so basically the file is back on track....
But actually, this failing gave me an idea ... but plz don't be made with me...
My GraphicsCard has a Software - which is actually from China. It's responsibel for Monitoring, RGB Lighting and a small Display and - now comes the part with the plz don't get mad: The Software posts an Error at installing and only starts up to 3t imes after a fresh install, but is also working while not beeing able to access it.

Looks a bit like this:

(The Sentence says: The input string etranslator has the wrong format)
I never mentioned it cause I deinstalled the Program, and the faillure still accured.

Yep, I would say, problem solved.
I deinstalled the Software - this time properly (Reg's and everything) disconnected the LCD with the first "reboot"; and it works!

I think all that's left to do is one thing!
Saying: I'm Sorry. The GPU wasn't all too cheap, so I didn't want to admit it was her fault. Afterall I wanted this mashine to work properly... But Stability comes before a fancy LCD-Mini-Display ... i guess : )

Anywho: I also have to thank you all for your great expense to help me out and make this work and I think we'll see us sooner rather than later in the Software Section xD
