A 9F error indicates the following:

A driver is in an inconsistent or invalid power state. Typically occurs during events that involve power state transitions, such as shutting down, or moving into or out of standby or hibernate mode.

I would first suggest you check your power savings settings to see what they are.

do you mean where it says balanced, power saver, or high performance? because i have it on balanced.

Yep I also would not use hibernation because I have seen in so many cases where it causes more problems thne it is worth using.
The error shows that a driver is not stopping correctly because of a power issue which may be when your system goes into hibernation mode.. I would suggest a simple screen saver and if you are not going to be at your system for a extended period then shutting it down would be better. Also does this happen if you are connected to power or if you are on battery?

[pleasehelpme112]

im almost always connected to power and the only time i really use these modes is if im in the middle of watching a movie and dont wanna shut my computer off and have to wait for it to buffer up to that point.

Try turning off hibernation and using just a screen saver. Does the issue happen then?

[pleasehelpme112]

theres no problem when using a screen saver so should i just leave it on that even if im gonna be gone for a while/sleep?

[rshaffer61]

Sleep I would say shut it down. Laptops differ from a desktop that I would not suggest leaving them turned on overnight per say.
Being gone say for a hour or so I see no problem with it.

[pleasehelpme112]

ok thank you again for the help.

[rshaffer61]

Try it for a day and let me know how it works.
