Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

  • You use an Infineon Trusted Platform Module (TPM) chip on a computer that is running Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) or Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1.

  • The TPM chip is running on firmware TPM 3.19 or later versions.

  • You put the computer into sleep mode, and then you wake the computer from sleep mode.

In this scenario, the following event is logged in the System log:

Cause

This issue occurs because in order to meet the Windows 8 performance requirements, the firmware for TPM chip is changed to firmware version 3.19 or later versions. When the computer wakes from sleep mode, the status of the TPM chip is "TPM_DOING_SELFTEST". During this time, TPM may respond to various commands. This results in the event being logged on a Windows 7 SP1-based or Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1-based computer.Note After you install the hotfix, TPM driver for Windows 7 and for Windows Server 2008 R2 is updated, and the event is not logged.
