Blue Screen is caused by Driver Power State Failure

Hello Sumit,

My computer encountered a blue screen again with the same error code: Driver Power State Failure. Can you analyze it to know if it is caused by memory corruption or a specific driver. The BSOD happens after my computer wakes up from sleep mode. To be more specific, it happened while I was shutting down my computer a few minutes after it woke up from sleep mode. The computer's screen stayed on the Shutting down window for a few minutes (longer than the usual shutting down process I encounter when shutting down my PC) then it showed the blue screen.
