Windows 10: Unknown cause for Driver_Power_State_Failure BSOD

I regulaly get a 'Driver_Power_State_Failure' BSOD. It seems to be linked to the following modules:

ntoskrnl.exe

win32kbase.sys


Here is a link to the minidump .dmp file for the latest BSOD:

I have no idea where the error comes from, if it is caused by a specific driver or software.


I do have a problem with my touchpad, which occasionally freezes for a while, so I thought that might be the driver in cause, but it seems to be the latest version available.


I really don't know how to fix this thing, and would really appreciate the advice.

BSOD- nt_wrong_symbols.sys DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE

I've been getting a BSOD every time I try to play certain games (IE: Fallout 4, sometimes Sims 4, where others (Overwatch, State of Decay, etc) work perfectly)

According to who crashed:

On Sun 1/7/2018 8:27:59 PM your computer crashed or a problem was reported

crash dump file: C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\010718-9750-01.dmp

This was probably caused by the following module: nt_wrong_symbols.sys (nt_wrong_symbols)

Bugcheck code: 0x9F (0x3, 0xFFFFAA0BC8DA0060, 0xFFFFF80394D0A7F0, 0xFFFFAA0BCBAEBB80)

Error: DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE

Bug check description: This bug check indicates that the driver is in an inconsistent or invalid power state. A device object has been blocking an IRP for too long a time.

This is likely to be caused by a hardware problem.

A third party driver was identified as the probable root cause of this system error. It is suggested you look for an update for the following driver: nt_wrong_symbols.sys .

Google query: nt_wrong_symbols.sys DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE

Dump file is located here: One DriveThese are my computers specifics (according to Speccy): Direct
File

I would appreciate any help in determining the issue, thank you!

 

DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE BSoD

I have been getting a BSoD at random and unable to detect the cause.

"DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE"

I have reset windows 10 to default settings (keeping files) with no luck.

I am working off a desktop.

Here is the mini memory dump.

BSOD when running on battery - driver_power_state_failure

***Merged***

Hello,

Since a few months my laptop - MSI GS60 2PE running Windows 10 Home - started giving BSOD's with the DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE after a seemingly random time when running on the battery. As I'm using it every day for work,
I depend on the machine and managed by just plugging it in.

While that works, I know it should be possible to make it work on the battery...

I've recently "reset this pc" using the build in option in Windows 10, after which I installed all "latest" drivers from the MSI site. I also re-installed all programs required to do my job and play some games.

Yesterday, Windows wanted to install the Fall Creators Update: I did. Booting the laptop while unplugged now gave me another BSOD, though with a different message: VIDEO_DXGKRNL_FATAL_ERROR. This seems to point to the Intel HD 4600 or Nvidia
GTX 870M.

To sum up some other issues I was starting out with...

Syptoms

• When unplugged, a BSOD occurs after a seemingly random time. (driver_power_state_failure)
  • After updating to the fall creators version, it also throws video_dxgkrnl_fatal_error; feels like a coin flip which one it will show.
    
• Bluetooth was failing after a couple of minutes, regardless whether I used it or not and whether the laptop was plugged in or not.
  
• Shutting down Windows would sometimes just heat up the CPU, make the fan go haywire and do nothing but turning the screen off.

I've tried / did:

• All drivers are up to date. This was verified by using DriverView and manually going over all of the non-Microsoft drivers.
  • This step fixed symptom 2 described above. Next to the latest version there was some patch (or 3 major versions ago) that couldn't be removed by conventional means. The build in troubleshooter actually removed it and bluetooth is now working
    as it should.
  • The HD4600 drivers were removed from the device management and I installed the latest according to the Intel site.
  • DDU was used in safe mode to remove the Nvidia driver and the latest one was installed.
• BlueScreenViewer shows the minidumps and lots of drivers.
  
  • The one created when the driver_power_state_failure occurred is useless, as nothing is marked but the ntoskrnl.
  • The one created when the video_dxgkrnl_fatal_error occurred shows ntoskrnl, watchdog and dxgkrnl.
    
• A clean boot (disabling all non-Microsoft services and disabling all startup programs) still results in the BSOD.
  
• Booting the laptop while plugged in, letting it run for a couple of minutes so everything is started and then unplugging it also seems to work.
  • Yesterday, I unplugged it and could work with it for about 2.5 hours before it called out for power: I doubt the battery is the issue.
  • I was asked to run a battery check (powercfg -energy -output ...) but that doesn't seem to show any issues. (design capacity '55031' Last full
    charge '38556'. The laptop is over three years old.)
    
• Starting in safe mode with networking will not result in a BSOD. (At least not within the hour I left it on.)
  
• Unchecking 'turn on fast startup' - as suggested in so many posts - in the power settings only causes issues.
  • When unchecked, windows won't shut down properly.
  • When checked, it does shut down normally. This seems to be the
    fix for symptom 3.
    
• Running various Windows troubleshooters didn't do much. Only the 'Windows Update' said it had some fixes regarding the database and 'fixed' it.
  
• The bios is up to date. (Version E16H2IMS.112)

Any help would be welcome.

Cheers!

PS: yes this post looks a lot like my
previous post, but that was marked answered because a moderator thinks all checks suggested can be performed within three days, next to a daily routine.
