I'm having a frustrating issue with my computer. Whenever it wakes up from sleep mode, the WiFi completely disappears, and shortly after, the system crashes with a 'driver power state failure' error (code 0x9f). My setup includes Windows 11, an NVIDIA RTX 5080 GPU, an Intel 14700k CPU, 32GB of G.SKILL Trident Z5 Royal RAM, and three WD Black SN 850 SSDs. I've already tried running commands like 'sfc /scannow', 'dism restore health', and 'chkdsk /f /r', but the problem continues. I'm really at a loss here and would appreciate any suggestions.

Can you check if your WiFi is integrated into the motherboard or if you're using a separate card? Also, make sure you've got the latest drivers installed for both your motherboard chipset and the WiFi adapter. Sometimes, outdated drivers can cause issues like this.

It's a separate card, and I did update both chipset and WiFi adapter. If it's any help, I downloaded Bluescreen View and it shows a crash related to ntoskrnl.exe.

Have you considered just disabling sleep mode altogether? If you're done using your PC, just shut it down. It's quick to boot back up with SSDs. Personally, I avoid sleep mode and hibernate because they can lead to problems like this.
