Windows 10: DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE Error

There is a DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE BSOD occurring on my device. When I analyzed I found out the error mentioned as "Unable to load image \SystemRoot\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\nvam.inf_amd64_8cded5d1cdb5d080\nvlddmkm.sys, Win32 error 0n2".

I asked the same question on this forum twice [1 2] but I didn't get any satisfying solution. Advisors are just saying to fresh install Windows 10. I know that there is some issue with the NVIDIA driver but none of the advisors mention a single word about NVIDIA driver. Here is the link to the latest dump file. Please look into it.

Windows 10 BSOD - DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are receiving Blue Screen error with DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE on your computer. I’ll certainly assist you with the issue.



However, please let us know:

• When exactly do you receive the Blue Screen error?
  
• Are you aware of any changes made to the computer recently?
  
• Which build version of Windows 10 is installed on the computer? To check type:
  winver in the search bar on the Taskbar and hit
  Enter.
  
• What is the make and model of the computer?
  

I have tried to access the link for dump files shared by you. However, I was unable to access the link. I would suggest you to upload the files in OneDrive and share the link.



The DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE error occurs when the driver is in an inconsistent or invalid power state. You may want to refer the troubleshooting steps mentioned in the Remarks section of the
article Bug Check 0x9F: DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE
and see if that helps.



Note: Modifying BIOS/ complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings incorrectly can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from booting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting
from the configuring of BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Modifications of the settings are at your own risk.



You may also want to refer the steps mentioned in the article Troubleshoot
blue screen errors.



We await your response.

Rest to follow shortly - or not so shortly, depending on how long they take to run.
I'm on cooking duty tonight, so busy for most of the time.

Bsod: Driver_power_state_failure

@zbook
HDTune - WDC hdd#2
Benchmark:




Amazing how rapidly transfer speed (appears to) detiorate. Just an average of 143 MB/s - did not expect that from a reasonable quality 6Gb/s sata drive?

Health:




As suggested, will let error check run overnight.

Shift + restart only gave 3 options - no Safe Mode
1. Continue ( to win10)
2. Trouble Shoot
3. Shutdown/Turn-off

Fast start-up is turned off.

Best,
Mike
