I recently upgraded my PSoC Programmer 3.24.2.  I started very consistently receiving the "Blue Screen of Death" when using the CY8CKIT-059.

After constructing a DoE here is the summary of the results:

Here's an update:

I moved my CY8CKIT-059 to a Windows 10 Home system.

SW   

Win 10 Home  Version: 1803 OS build: 17134.285

Memory 4.0G 

  

KitProg USB-UART  CYPRESS 2.0.0.0

KitProg (1.2.3.3)  CYPRESS 1.2.3.3

PSoC Programmer  CYPRESS 3.24.2

PSoC Creator  CYPRESS 4.2  (not running in this DoE)

HW   

Intel Celeron 1017U @ 1.60GHz

  

CY8CKIT-059  CYPRESS Rev  B 1808SO15674

There appears to have NO issue of "Blue Screen" in any Power Mode change.

Here is the specifics of my system:

SW   

Win 7 Pro Service Pack 1 

Memory 16.0G 

  

KitProg USB-UART  CYPRESS 2.0.0.0

KitProg (1.2.3.3)  CYPRESS 1.2.3.3

PSoC Programmer  CYPRESS 3.24.2

PSoC Creator  CYPRESS 4.2  (not running in this DoE)

  

HW   

i7-4910MQ Octal-core Intel

  

CY8CKIT-059  CYPRESS Rev  B 1808SO15674

Further DoE shows that disabling the KitProg USB-UART driver, "fixes" the "Blue Screen" issue.

I tried to reproduce your issue in Windows 10 and it doesn't occur. Must be some issue with Windows 7 Pro. Will try to test it. Glad that your issue has been resolved. Will update if I'm able to reproduce your error on Windows 7.

Regards,
