I am facing Blue Screen Errors such as VIDEO_DXGKRNL_FATAL_ERROR as well as DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE. I tried to fix it by driver update (before update I uninstalled the previous drivers), but it doesn't work. I am still facing such error frequently.

When I go to My Computer -> Manage -> Device Manager -> Anyone.Scan for hardware changes, it would go to the blue screen with a sad face saying "your computer encounters some problem, needs restarting".

The error code is VIDEO_DXGKRNL_FATAL_ERROR.
