STATUS_ACPI_POWER_REQUEST_FAILED

STATUS_ACPI_POWER_REQUEST_FAILED is tied to an ACPI power-object transition. ACPI models power resources and device power management through declared objects and control methods. The requested transition did not complete successfully, so the key evidence is the target resource or device state transition, not only the final status code.

It is different from a generic device I/O failure. Determine the requested source and destination power states, the power-resource methods evaluated, dependencies and the initiating operation such as boot, resume, device start, runtime idle or docking.

An ACPI power-resource transition did not complete

  • Record the device or power-resource namespace path, requested transition and the methods executed for the transition.
  • Capture dependency information and the state of related devices or resources that must be on before the target can transition.
  • Correlate repeated failures with a specific sleep, wake, hot-plug or runtime-power scenario rather than changing unrelated application settings.
