Ever since I got back from a holiday a month ago my laptop HP Victus gaming laptop randomly keeps crashing, mostly after turn it on out of sleep mode. Most of the times I get a blue screen and then it restarts. Last one I got it just didn’t give me a blue screen but my screen turned black and it restarted. If I look in to the logs windows + r, eventvwr it gives a critical thing for Kernel-power and also a warning for Kernel-PnP. The warning for Kernel-PnP reads this: “The driver \Driver\WUDFRd failed to load.Device: PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_461D&SUBSYS_8A4F103C&REV_02\3&11583659&
