Windows 10: Frequent BSOD (driver power state failure)

I used to had the dpc watchdog violation BSOD , but it was okay from quite days .
but now i have another BSOD with error "driver power state failure"

This usually happens when i am working on photoshop or illustrator, i lost my unsaved files because of this which is very bad , i had to work from scratch several times because of this BSOD.

Another thing i noticed this BSOD only occurs when the laptop is not charging.

Here is the dumpfile.

BSOD error DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE in Windows 10

Original Title: BSOD DRIVER POWER STATE FAILURE

Hi,

I am getting bugged up with the BSOD DRIVER POWER STATE FAILURE.

Plz help

 

BSOD - Driver Power State Failure

Hi Auggy,

I updated both of the offending drivers and so far I have had 2 days BSOD free. The original problem was not consistently repeatable, so I cannot say with certainty that the "problem is solved," but early indications are positive.

Thanks for the guidance.

Hi best,

The dumps are dating from last month.
Please check {windows partition}\windows\minidump and check if there are any recent dump files saved.
Please make sure your pc is configured for small dump files How to configure minidump | Windows 10 tutorial

If you're using Ccleaner or another program, please stop using them, these program delete dump files that are needed for the troubleshooting process.

 

Oh yes i am sorry about that.

Here is the latest one

Did you have anything connected to your laptop yesterday?

2 of the 3 crashes are caused by the Nvidia Video driver
Please do the following

• Search services.msc and open it
• Search Nvidia Streamer Service
• Right click > properties
• Change the startup type to disable.

 

External harddisk was connected to the laptop yesterday.

I will try this solution you stated but will it affect with the pc performance in any way?

 

No it wouldn't, this service is known for causing trouble since a while. I don't know if/when Nvidia fixes it.

Connect something else to your laptop that you know works correctly.
If you get 'DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION' again, then it is the USB port causing the bluescreen.
If not, then there might be a problem with the extern HDD.

 

Thank you so much for the help.
I will try your given solutions.

 

Alright the issue is back again.

The common thing with all the BSOD's are that they only happen when the laptop is not charging.
Could this be related to a bad memory / harddisk failure?

Anyways the latest dumpfile

Thanks in advance

 

Please do the following:

• Open an admin command prompt
• Copy/paste "sfc/scannow" (without quotes) and press enter
• When it finished reboot your system
• Open again an admin command prompt
• Enter sfc/scannow again

If sfc/scannow does NOT say "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violation", please upload the cbs.log file located at {windows partition}\Windows\Logs\CBS\, if the file is too large try a 3rd party uploader like dropbox, onedrive, google drive, mediafire etc.
System File Check(SFC a.k.a. Windows Resource Protection) needs to have your system rebooted in order for sfc to try to fix the problems that it finds.



Note 2 of the 3 new BSOD's occurred when chrome was active

 

Alright, i did it twice (before restart and after restart)
It did not find any problems.

Both times it said "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violation"

about the chrome, i think i should try using a different browser for sometime and see if it gives me the BSOD again or not.

 

Hi best,

How is it going?
Did you get any bluescreen?

 

Hi Axe0,

First, Thank you for asking me.
I am actually not using my laptop without charging so i don't really know if i will get them again , maybe when i will be out soon with my laptop i might get it back again

I will keep you posted
