I'm having trouble starting my computer after encountering a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) with the error code `INTERNAL_POWER_ERROR`. The boot sequence shows up normally and I hear sounds like Windows 10 is starting, but then I only see a loading cursor. This issue popped up after I updated my video card drivers a few hours prior. I've consulted ChatGPT for some advice but not all suggestions were effective, and I haven't managed to execute everything mentioned. Here are my PC specs:
- OS: Windows 10, version 10.0.19241.1
- Graphics: Gainward GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB
- Motherboard: ASRock A320M-DVS R4.0
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600
- RAM: 16GB
If needed, I can share a dump file that might help with diagnosing the issue. I'm really out of options here and could use any guidance!

A quick fix could be to downgrade your graphics drivers. Sometimes updates can introduce compatibility issues that lead to BSODs. Go to the manufacturer’s site and find the previous version of your driver to reinstall.
Another tool to try is WhoCrashed; it might help you pinpoint the cause of the crash more effectively. Analyzing the crash reports can offer further insight into what's causing your system to fail on boot.
It sounds like you need to retrieve your dump files for a proper analysis of the BSOD. If you can boot into Windows, or at least into Safe Mode, navigate to C:WindowsMinidump. Check if you have any dump files there. If you do, zip the folder and upload it to a file sharing service like Mediafire or Catbox.moe since Reddit tends to blacklist a lot of these sites. If you have only one or no dump files, follow a guide to change your settings for Small Memory Dumps to ensure you create more in the future.
