    Hi,

    At first my audio suddenly stopped working. YouTube said that I had to restart my laptop, so that's what I did. Now internal speakers didn't show up in the sound control panel. The device manager said that the devicer wouldn't start code 10. It had something to do with 'power' as well.

    I tried all the fixes suggested on reddit and elsewhere, but to no avail. So I decided to reinstall windows. At 4% it got stuck, and after a while I got the BSOD with the 'Driver Power State Failure'. Now it keeps on restarting and returning to the BSOD.

    I have an Aspire A-3 laptop. Model: A315-51-30SG
    Intel chipset with Intel UHD graphics.

    I need to have it fixed by Monday, as I have my first university lectures online that day. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    :)

    Driver Power State Failure

    Hi Roy,

    Driver Power State Failure happens when your device driver goes into sleep mode while you are still using the device. It may be caused by a bad driver or your current power settings. To work around with this, follow these steps:

    • Secure a copy of the latest version of your graphics card and network adapter driver. Go the manufacturer's website for further assistance.
    • Reinstall your graphics card and network adapter driver completely. Usually, wireless drivers are the first ones to go bad, so assuming you are connected to the internet through Wi-Fi, reinstall your wireless driver.
      Go to Device Manager > Display
      adapters and Network adapters
      > Right-click the driver > Uninstall. If possible, select
      Delete driver software for this device. Restart your computer afterwards.
    • Reinstall updated drivers. Go to Device Manager
      > Right-click Other devices or Unknown devices >
      Update driver > Browse my computer for driver software > Select the folder of the downloaded drivers >
      Next.

    If the issue persists, change your power plan to High performance and observe if the issue replicates. Press
    Windows key + S and type Power Options.

    Let us know how it goes.
