Windows 10: Driver Power State Failure and DPC Watchdog Violation

When running Lightroom Classic CC and/or Photoshop CC on my Razer Blade 15 Advance (2018) model. The spec for the laptop is, Intel I7-8750H, Nvidia GeForce 1060 Max-Q, 512GB M.2 SSD and 16GB of RAM. While using either or both of the programs the computer will randomly freeze and crash. The two errors that display are "DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE" and "DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION." I've updated all the available drivers and changed the program performance settings. The minidump files after the crashes are located here, https://1drv.ms/f/s!Ar5oygqhA_5bjnpuo10C-eSPbHwT


Any and all help for this issue are greatly appreciated. Worst case scenario would be to return the laptop and buy something else but I'm trying to avoid that at this point.

BSOD - with DPC Watchdog violation plus Driver Power State Failure


Sigh... a brand new build on new components. Have a dual boot - works brilliantly in Win 7 (no errors) but fails mostly upon boot up in Win 10.

Crash dump analysis shows 7 dump files with 6 DPC Watchdog violations and 1 one Driver Power State Failure. Using WhoCrashed shows module ntkrnlmp.exe as likely culprit.

I am at a loss. Machine works great in Win 7 but is all sadness and woe in Win 10.

The debug file is loaded - and now?

Your help will be appreciated.
