Windows 10: Potential Driver Power State Failure causing failed consistent loading

HI there,


I have an Acer Aspire E 14 laptop which I experienced an issue last night where I was shown low battery and immediately the PC shut off. I plugged it in and the PC was able to function afterwards. After I finished my work that night I closed the screen of the laptop in which I always do and progressed with my night. This morning I tried opening the PC and am receiving a load screen. The Standard "Acer Explore beyond limits" screen. However I would usually get a circle indicating loading under this and this time I was not. I keep waiting for long periods of time and nothing happens. I cannot log into the PC. I cannot get into the BIOS I cannot boot in safe mode, literally stands on this screen with nothing changing.


Now I claim this to be a Driver Power State Failure cause someone had a similar issue however I'm not sure if I should just wait and see if the PC will start up or just leave it as be. Or leave it in this screen until the battery runs out. I can still shut the PC down if I hold the power button, and I have opened the keyboard up to get access to the battery and have unplugged and re-plugged it back in, but the issue still persists. The other problem is that i've tried a reset, but I cannot fully reset this PC as it is intended for work, and have valuable files in which I cannot lose. Regardless I held the Reset button for 30 seconds and no change.


Can anyone give me any insight into this and what I could potentially do? During the loading screen, if I press ctrl + Alt + Delete the screen goes black and comes back again. Not sure if that means anything. But again, there is no loading circle as there would usually be and the PC does not continue from the Acer welcome image.


PC: Acer Aspire E 14

Intel-Core i5-5200U

HD Graphics 5500

8GB DDR3

1000GB HDD


Any assistance would be appreciated, Thank you.

Power driver state failure

Hello, thanks to contact the Microsoft Community. My name is Israel Torres, I am an Independent Advisor.

Driver Power State Failure errors are usually caused by a computer or device driver going into sleep mode while you’re still using the device. Windows would send a wake signal to the device once it is needed and if the device doesn’t respond in time or at all,
Windows flags a Driver Power State Failure error. The error can be caused either by the driver itself or power settings.

Fix Windows 10 Driver Power State Failure error

Two popular causes of this error were graphics drivers and Wi-Fi card drivers. It makes sense to update both while you’re here.

1. Navigate to Control Panel, Hardware and Sound and Device Manager.

2. Select your Network adapter and/or Display adapter.

3. Right click, select ‘Update Driver Software and Search automatically…’.

4. Reboot your computer and retest.

If a new driver doesn’t work, turn off power saving.

1. Navigate to Control Panel, Hardware and Sound and Power Options.

2. Select ‘Change power settings’ next to the active power plan.

3. Select ‘Change advanced power settings’ text link.

4. Select ‘Change settings that are currently unavailable’.

5. Find Graphics Settings or PCI Express and Link State Power Management and set to Maximum performance, depending on what computer you have.

6. Find Wireless Adapter Settings and set to Maximum performance.

7. Reboot your computer and retest.

Driver Power State Failure

Hello Microsoft community, I have been facing a problem with Windows where it would crash randomly with the error
"Driver Power State Failure"

I recently bought this new Asus laptop about 3 weeks ago and it comes with Windows 10. The details of my laptop/system information is stated in this notepad file.

System Information

Steps that I have taken to fix this error based on what I've read and searched:-

• Updating drivers from the official Asus product support page for my laptop
• Reset Windows 2 times over the course of 2 weeks
• Did a factory reset using the Windows 10 tool just 3 days ago
• Downloaded every drivers listed under official Asus product support page for my laptop and running every single one of them to ensure everything was installed. The results said I am already using newer versions of drivers

The latest error that occurred is recently before I'm writing this question. Here is the minidump file for the latest crash regarding the error.

There was also another error regarding a "DPC Watchdog Violation"
although after resetting windows 2 times and did a factory reset recently, the only error that consistently keeps occurring is Driver Power State Failure. I really need help to solve this issue as it is hindering a lot of my work. Thank you for your time and
support.
