Windows 10: BSODs when gaming (Driver Power State Failure)

Hi all,

Been having this issue since I got this laptop. Computer consistently throws a BSOD when playing games or even generating plots in MATLAB. I suspect that its an issue with Windows 10 and NVIDIA since I've heard they tend to not play nice with each other, but since I have no idea how to analyze a minidump, I'm hoping someone here can give me some advice. Thanks in advance.

BSOD error DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE in Windows 10

Original Title: BSOD DRIVER POWER STATE FAILURE

Hi,

I am getting bugged up with the BSOD DRIVER POWER STATE FAILURE.

Plz help

 

BSOD - Driver Power State Failure

Hi Auggy,

I updated both of the offending drivers and so far I have had 2 days BSOD free. The original problem was not consistently repeatable, so I cannot say with certainty that the "problem is solved," but early indications are positive.

Thanks for the guidance.

Because you have a laptop it is adviced to use the latest "customized" OEM driver for your specific laptop Satellite S50T-C from here http://support.toshiba.com/support/m...Text=XF143374C.

 

I have installed all the recommended drivers I could find from this page:
http://support.toshiba.com/support/m...ext=1200010947
as that is the model of my notebook. Still have the same problem. Anything specific from the files I posted by any chance?

 

Could you upload a new zip with the latest BSOD.

 

This should include the latest crash. Thanks again.

It could be that it is corrupted somehow, please uninstall the driver using DDU uninstaller ( Display Driver Uninstaller Download version 15.7.5.5 ) and reinstall the latest driver from your supportpage.

Also do you have updated your chipset drivers and the other Intel drivers? ( because of the pci.sys mentioning)

 

I have update chipset drivers and BIOS though I suppose there are a few drivers I haven't touched like WiFi and sound since I figured they weren't likely to be the problem.
