Help with DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE Blue Screen After Booting

Asked By CuriousMarmot42 On

I've been having a DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE blue screen of death (BSOD) just about 5 minutes after I boot up my PC. Before that happens, my mouse stops moving, the PC keeps freezing, and the screen goes black for a few seconds. I would get a minidump file for troubleshooting, but the freezing makes my computer nearly unusable. So far, I've only tried unplugging the power supply and plugging it back in. Any help would be much appreciated!

What type of drive are you using? Is it an HDD or an SSD? If it’s SSD, can you confirm if it’s an M.2 connection?

To sort out those BSOD issues, you'll want to gather some dump files since they help in analyzing crash logs. If you're able to get into Windows normally, or even through Safe Mode, check C:WindowsMinidump for any dump files. If you find some, zip the folder and upload it to a file-sharing site—either catbox.moe or mediafire.com seem to be good options right now. If you don't have much luck, follow a guide to set up Small Memory Dumps, as having multiple files helps a lot in figuring out what's going wrong.

I'm pretty sure it’s M.2 and it's definitely an SSD.
