PROCESSOR_DRIVER_INTERNAL Parameters

Parameter	Description
1	1 - Power Engine Plugin(PEP) failed to accept a required notification
2	PEP runtime Notification type
3	Pointer to notification message
4	Pointer to processor device context (FDO_DATA) issuing the notification

Parameter	Description
1	2 - Power Engine Plugin (PEP) returned invalid processor idle state
2	Type of invalid state 0x0 : PEP requested too many processors for coordinated idle state Parameter 3 - Number of processors requested to participate in coordinated idle transitions Parameter 4 - Pointer to processor device context (FDO_DATA) 0x1 : PEP requested processor to be in an invalid idle state Parameter 3 - Idle state index requested Parameter 4 - Pointer to processor device context (FDO_DATA) corresponding to the invalid idle state 0x2 : PEP requested the platform to be in an invalid idle state Parameter 3 - Platform idle state index requested Parameter 4 - Pointer to processor device context (FDO_DATA) corresponding to the invalid idle state
3	Refer to parameter 2
4	Refer to parameter 2

Cause

The processor driver detected an irreconcilable condition which prompted it to bugcheck. This likely happens during the processor idle and perf-state change execution, which may involve other entities such has kernel, HAL and the Power Engine Plugin (PEP). Information from bugcheck will help identify which of the assumptions made by the processor driver in dealing with other entities was violated. The root cause may lie in other entities and a dump file may reveal more information to ascertain the reason for the bugcheck.
