  1. Driver_Power_State_Failure BSOD


    My Alienware 17 R5 has been experiencing some problems lately. To begin with, I was sailing last year from Aug 2019 until Jan 2020. I didnt update anything in my laptop since internet signal was not that good at the middle of the sea. So the first thing I did when I came home was updating my laptop, Windows Update, Drivers, Games, etc.
    I would often leave my laptop open overnight so that I could finish downloading my games. But I was surprised to see the next day my laptop in the log-in screen. Meaning it restarted sometime in the middle of the night. I didnt bother at first, but when it happened while I'm gaming, I dont know what to do. It showed me BSOD with the error Drive_Power_State_Failure. And when I checked Event Viewer, it would show me an error with the AWCC.exe.

    So I checked forums why it is happening and I read it has something to do with drivers, so I checked my device manager to find 2 AWCC.exe drivers installed. So I thought the problem was solved, but maybe after a day or two, BSOD started happening again. Randomly. With the same error, withe same application. I asked help from my friends and suggested to remove AWCC to see if the problem is really coming from it. I uninstalled it but still BSOD keeps on happening.


    So the last option they told me was to install a clean Windows 10 OS, to start from scratch everything new. Maybe something wrong with the update, we are not sure. Just yesterday I was able to make a clean install of WIn 10 in my laptop. But after a few hours, same BSOD error came with the same application. We are not sure anymore why this is happening. Maybe you guys have the same experience or have some idea. Thanks


    Edit: I also tried reverting my GPU driver to the stock one but still I got BSOD'd.



    I'll aslo add one of the minidump created from one of my BSOD.

  2. BSOD : DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE

    I have a laptop ASUS X550JK, I get the BSOD with DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE, it happens randomly, Before the BSOD occurs, I notice a rise in CPU temperature and the fan makes noise


    Driver_Power_State_Failure BSOD gDUxQ.png


    When I check the dump file, I get this :


    Driver_Power_State_Failure BSOD 4w1fx.png


    What I've tried:

    1. I've tried to install Windows 10 with USB and CD/DVD Drive as
      well, but the same issue happened every time.
    2. I've updated all drivers (using Driver Booster,Driver
      Reviver
      and DriverPack solution).
    3. I've changed some Power settings.

    NOTE: With Linux (Ubuntu 19.04 & Mint), everything works just fine, I've used Linux for 1 week, and I didn't face any issue with it.

    Can anyone help me to get resolve this issue, I've spent a lot of time to solve it with no success

    Driver_Power_State_Failure BSOD

    BSOD when running on battery - driver_power_state_failure

    ***Merged***

    Hello,

    Since a few months my laptop - MSI GS60 2PE running Windows 10 Home - started giving BSOD's with the DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE after a seemingly random time when running on the battery. As I'm using it every day for work,
    I depend on the machine and managed by just plugging it in.

    While that works, I know it should be possible to make it work on the battery...

    I've recently "reset this pc" using the build in option in Windows 10, after which I installed all "latest" drivers from the MSI site. I also re-installed all programs required to do my job and play some games.

    Yesterday, Windows wanted to install the Fall Creators Update: I did. Booting the laptop while unplugged now gave me another BSOD, though with a different message: VIDEO_DXGKRNL_FATAL_ERROR. This seems to point to the Intel HD 4600 or Nvidia
    GTX 870M.

    To sum up some other issues I was starting out with...

    Syptoms

    • When unplugged, a BSOD occurs after a seemingly random time. (driver_power_state_failure)
      • After updating to the fall creators version, it also throws video_dxgkrnl_fatal_error; feels like a coin flip which one it will show.
    • Bluetooth was failing after a couple of minutes, regardless whether I used it or not and whether the laptop was plugged in or not.
    • Shutting down Windows would sometimes just heat up the CPU, make the fan go haywire and do nothing but turning the screen off.

    I've tried / did:

    • All drivers are up to date. This was verified by using DriverView and manually going over all of the non-Microsoft drivers.
      • This step fixed symptom 2 described above. Next to the latest version there was some patch (or 3 major versions ago) that couldn't be removed by conventional means. The build in troubleshooter actually removed it and bluetooth is now working
        as it should.
      • The HD4600 drivers were removed from the device management and I installed the latest according to the Intel site.
      • DDU was used in safe mode to remove the Nvidia driver and the latest one was installed.
    • BlueScreenViewer shows the minidumps and lots of drivers.
      • The one created when the driver_power_state_failure occurred is useless, as nothing is marked but the ntoskrnl.
      • The one created when the video_dxgkrnl_fatal_error occurred shows ntoskrnl, watchdog and dxgkrnl.
    • A clean boot (disabling all non-Microsoft services and disabling all startup programs) still results in the BSOD.
    • Booting the laptop while plugged in, letting it run for a couple of minutes so everything is started and then unplugging it also seems to work.
      • Yesterday, I unplugged it and could work with it for about 2.5 hours before it called out for power: I doubt the battery is the issue.
      • I was asked to run a battery check (powercfg -energy -output ...) but that doesn't seem to show any issues. (design capacity '55031' Last full
        charge '38556'. The laptop is over three years old.)
    • Starting in safe mode with networking will not result in a BSOD. (At least not within the hour I left it on.)
    • Unchecking 'turn on fast startup' - as suggested in so many posts - in the power settings only causes issues.
      • When unchecked, windows won't shut down properly.
      • When checked, it does shut down normally. This seems to be the
        fix for symptom 3.
    • Running various Windows troubleshooters didn't do much. Only the 'Windows Update' said it had some fixes regarding the database and 'fixed' it.
    • The bios is up to date. (Version E16H2IMS.112)

    Any help would be welcome.

    Cheers!

    PS: yes this post looks a lot like my
    previous post
    , but that was marked answered because a moderator thinks all checks suggested can be performed within three days, next to a daily routine.
