I just built a new computer out of an older server tower and installed Windows 8.1. The computer is set up to run long multi day physics simulations and has been crashing when going into sleep mode with a DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILER error. I've run BluScreenViewer to look at minidump files and found that the drivers atapi.sys and ntoskrnl.exe are at fault. I am not sure how to proceed in fixing this problem. A summary of the BSOD printouts are given below:
