Windows 10: Windows freezing after Intel chipset device driver failed to install, how do I repair the...

Windows will boot to desktop and after about 5~7 seconds Windows will freeze for about 30+ seconds before going to BSOD with a "Driver Power State Failure".I power cycled it 3 times to do an automatic recovery, booted into safe mode and was able to run: SFC /scannow and it said it found and fixed something. Still will BSOD after about 7 seconds once explorer starts. Tried DISM.exe commands and more of the same.So how do I fix that driver outside of safemode without explorer crashing? Because that's where I'm at now.I appreciate any and all help.

:)

Tip Want to save time? Not sure if you need this file?

Run this easy to use Intel® Driver Update Utility and it will "automatically" tell you if you need to update your chipset INF file, and if so, will prompt you to install and you are done. This will save you a lot of time not only on your chipset download but the most common files needed for your system.

Name changes:
Intel® Chipset Device Software is the new name for the Intel® Chipset Software Installation Utility; this name will be seen when running the installation package.

About this file/download:
The Intel® Chipset Device Software installs the Windows* INF files. An INF is a text file that provides the operating system with information about a piece of hardware on the system. In the case of the current Intel Chipset Device Software, that information is primarily the product name for the piece of hardware. This allows the operating system to show the correct name for that piece of hardware in Device Manager.

**Important**
The Intel Chipset Device Software does not install drivers for AGP or USB. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS UTILITY IF YOUR DEVICE MANUFACTURER IS RECOMMENDING IT TO CORRECT AN "AGP DRIVER," "AGP GART," OR "USB DRIVER" ISSUE; IT WILL NOT CORRECT YOUR ISSUE.

Hi,

As its name suggests the Z370 chipset is part of the 300 series of chipsets.

I found the following description from Intel:
How do I Use the Intel(R) Chipset Software Installation Utility?

The Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility is not a driver and does not include drivers.
The Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility gives the product name for the piece of hardware. This information allows the operating system to display the correct name for that piece of hardware in Device Manager.
