Windows 10: Bluescreen after I cleaned and updated the correct driver? Should I replace my graphics...

Hello everyone,A week ago I had an issue with my driver which then was fixed after fully removing my driver and then adding in the appropriate driver from MSI. I made sure to download DDU Utility in order to make sure there was nothing left over when I installed the new Driver. ---Now today, after playing some Skyrim I kept getting crashes on my system despite I have been fine playing Skyrim for the past week. Then finally I checked the Task Manager and the MSI companion to see all my Disk data being used, causing the second Blue Screen crash on this month-old new computer. What do you recomme

:)

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community.

I understand that it can be frustrating for you when the computer shows bluescreen errors. Bluescreen errors are usually caused due to faulty hardware or drivers. We will try to narrow down the cause of the issue by performing a few steps.

1. Do you get bluescreen errors randomly or while performing any specific actions such as playing a game or running any particular application?
   
2. Do you see any error code along with the message “DRIVERS POWER STATE FAILURE”?
   
3. Are there any external devices connected to your computer?
   

The usual causes for bluescreen errors are Graphic card drivers and Network adapter drivers. We can go ahead and try to update the drivers.

Refer the article Update drivers in Windows 10 on how to update Graphic card
and Network drivers.

You may also refer the article Troubleshoot blue screen errors
for additional troubleshooting steps to fix the issue.

You can reply to this post if you need further assistance

Hope it helps.
