WinXP Pro SP2. When shutting down, blue screen announces
'driver_power_state_failure'

I'm not aware that anything has changed in the setup of the machine, which
was fine until recently. I've used sigverif.exe to check drivers, and it
only finds one which is unsigned, although '908 were not checked'?? Anyway,
I've tried renaming that .sys file to .tmp and rebooting, but it still
happens.

Any ideas how to track down what's causing the problem please? I presume it
will be a long process of elimination, but I don't know how to proceed.
Thanks
