Windows 10: DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE out of the blue while browsing

As the title suggests, I have recently faced this bluescreen while browsing the web. My Windows 10 build is 20H2 and is a Dell G3 as mentioned within the system specs and I have updated my drivers since getting the Blue Screen. I have attached the V2 log zip as a Google Drive link below for checking. Any help or support with regards to this issue will be greatly appreciated!

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.

We await your response.

Blue screen error: DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you receive DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE Blue screen error. The DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE bug check has a value of 0x0000009F. This bug check indicates that the driver is in an inconsistent or invalid power state. For more information,
see
Bug Check 0x9F: DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE.



However, it would be great if you can share the Minidump files with us, so that we can analyze them and assist you accordingly. To share the dump files, navigate to
C:\Windows\Minidump, upload the files to OneDrive and share the OneDrive link.



Meanwhile, I suggest you to try booting the computer into Safe Mode and see if you are able to boot the computer into Safe Mode. Refer the steps mentioned in the article

Start your PC in safe mode in Windows 10.



If you are able to boot the computer into Safe Mode with Networking, try performing clean boot on the computer and see if the computer boots.



Performing a clean boot will start the computer with minimal set of drivers and programs, to determine whether a background program is causing the issue. Some of the Startup programs will not load after performing a clean boot on the computer. However,
that functionality will return when you reset the computer to start normally after finishing the troubleshooting.



To perform a clean boot on the computer refer to the article How to perform a
clean boot in Windows.



If performing a clean boot fixes the issue then, please refer to the section
How to determine what is causing the problem after you do a clean boot
to check which program is causing the issue.



Note: Please refer the section Reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting
to boot the computer in to normal mode after troubleshooting.



For additional information, see
Troubleshoot blue screen errors.



Let us know the results.
