I just bought a new PC with Windows 11 and it keeps randomly crashing and restarting. My old computer had an Intel CPU, so this one has an AMD chip instead. I moved some game drives over from before, but everything else is brand new, including my main M.2 drive. I've tried fixing almost all the drivers possible, but the problem is still there. The error says DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE (9f), and scrolling down it shows storahci.sys as the cause. But I don't know how to fix this. If you look online, some people say turning on "drive sleep" causes crashes, though I'm not sure if that's right or how to do it without constantly spinning my hard drives when they aren't needed.

just use your computer's built-in settings screen to change the BIOS instead of trying to do it through Windows. Then open up a program from the company that makes your hard drive to look for mistakes and fix them there. If they give you an update tool, go get that one and run it on your hardware so everything works better.

Upload the dump file to a cloud service with this link. For some 0x9F bugscheck problems, you might need the kernel dump from C:\Windows\Memory.dmp, so save that file in a safe place like your temporary folder.

I switched to a new BIOS so I don't need to use Windows updates anymore. It feels harder than before. The tag on my old system shows the specs, but it's not really showing what's wrong. Turns out many people have this same problem with AMD chipsets on certain boards and setups. I can't figure out how to fix it except just turn off drive sleep mode.
