Windows 10: DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE caused by ntoskrnl.exe during sleep

Try running it anyway. It is not only to check the heat. It stresses the card out and will tell us if there is a problem with the card/Motherboard pcie slot. If that proves OK, we can try a few other things. But, one thing I would like to try if the card tests out OK is doing another clean install on a known good hard drive, instead of your SSD. You don't need to install programs or anything like that. Just the install, Windows Updates and test how it runs.

 

The NVidia drivers / Windows 10 combo have been quite buggy. I have had least problems with 353.62. I have never had crashes with later versions, but lots of TDR (graphics driver timeout and recovery) especially after coming back from sleep. I have zero problems with 353.62. I would suggest you try that version

 

I reinstalled the 355.98 graphics drivers, along with physx this morning, and so far, no crashes, but the real test will be tonight. I ran furmark until the gpu temp curve was flat (only about 5 minutes) , and will run it longer tomorrow. There was no problem. I will check in tomorrow

OK, great. You shouldn't need to run it longer unless you just want to. It could be a problem waking from sleep or Hibernation.

No crashes last night or today. I think it was pilot error - IE I tried to not install the fluff with the video drivers and left off the physx driver 'cause I did not know what it was. Installing with physx seemed t o fix it. I will wait one more night before declaring victory, but so far so good. Big huge THANK YOU!

That's great news, so far. I'm glad it is better now and I hope you have it fixed for good. Please let us know and good luck.

 

OK - OI declare this problem solved - no crashes in 2 days, wheras is was 2 to 3 times per day before

Thanks!
