Windows 10: DPFT Error 256 - most likely cause? Battery?

What is the mostly likely cause of an Intel Dynamic platform and thermal framework (DPFT) Error = 256.

I am running an up to date Win 10 v 1903 on a Yoga 13 x64 laptop. It intermittently present a black screen. Frequently is will boot up properly after a couple of hard resets. However, the error seen in the Event viewer for those that failed are the DPFT problem


Is this error usually indicative of a battery problem?


thanks

Possible Causes of atikmdag errors

I was courious to see how many different causes there are to the infamous atikmdag.sys error that strikes widely across and has so for a long time, I am getting it myself also and it is really starting to wear me out. It is pretty annoying having a $520 Readeon 3870x2 card if you can't use it without errors.

So first of all, here is the apparant reason for my atikmdag error:

When I play a game, regardless of settings, clocks or anything else, the fan speed wil not be adjusting and the card will get hotter as it performs. As soon as the card gets hot enough, my system will attempt to speed up the fan and as soon as they do, I get the atikmdag error. I never hear the fan of my card go beyond 30% fan speed unless I push it using Rivatuner.

Anyone else got other apparant reasons?

By the way, here are the steps I have been trying to fix it

• Renaming atikmdag.sys to "atikomdag.sys(old)
• Set fan speed profiles in Rivatuner depending on temeprature thresholds
• Setting fixed fan speed in Rivatuner
• Installing only the ATI drivers without Catalyst Control Centre
• Replacing RAM blocks
• Trying older drivers

I have probably tried a few
