I recently purchased a Gateway LX6810. During the 2 hours in which it ran it did great with photoshop cs4. Bridge happily used almost all of the 8 gigs of memory and ran fast, Photoshop ran fast. However, after that initial stable period, the computer began producing blue screens of death with the error message "DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE STOP 0X0000009F", along with a set of 4 long numbers in parenthesis.
I researched on the Internet and found other people had the same problem with many different causes cited. I turned off the sleep mode and made sure all drivers were the more current ones. No help at all. Gateway had no suggestions.
Best Buy provided a second computer which had the same error messages, except that the second one began crashing so soon that I was not able to load any software on it. Research on the Internet suggests that Vista 64 may not be very stable. A former Vista programer has told me that the Stop message means there was a software conflict. After reading on the Internet about many other people with similar problems, I don’t know what computer to buy.
Best Buy Geek Squad had made sure that the second unit had all latest drivers. But the unit had problems before I could even load programs onto it
I want vista 64 because of the extra RAM it can address and its greater speed with Photoshop.
Are people having happy experiences with stable vista 64 based computers, and is so what brand and models and what video cards?
Many thanks, Gary.
