Random BSODs with different codes in new installed Windows 8

[AWS]

Good day!

Have a problem with new installed Windows 8 x64 box. System periodically crashes with different codes:

BUGCHECK_STR: DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE, DPC_QUEUE_EXECUTION_TIMEOUT_EXCEEDED, etc.

 

 

 

I analyze minidump with WinDBG, faulting module is ntoskrnl.exe, DEFAULT_BUCKET_ID is WIN8_DRIVER_FAULT. So I think problem is probably with hardware drivers, but I have no ideas.

OS is fully patched from Windows Update. Motherboard is Asus P9X79 Deluxe, 2 hard drives are in RAID-1 based on on-board Intel RST, with addition of non-RAID 3-rd HDD attached to on-board Intel too. All latest hardware drivers from Asus site are installed.

Windows 7 x64 Ultimate and Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise on this box works well during 3 months. Problem appeared immediately when installing Windows 8.

I can upload kernel dumps if needed.

Thanks.

BR, Anton
