I've recently built a new PC, and while it was initially running well, I've started encountering random blue screens of death (BSOD) with the error related to DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE. I'm using Windows 11, which is up to date, and I've also updated the BIOS on my motherboard and got the latest drivers for everything possible. I'm not very experienced with reading crash files, but I've used BlueScreenView and I'm unsure what to look for. Any advice on how to troubleshoot this issue would be greatly appreciated! Here's the crash file if anyone can help analyze it: [Crash File Link](https://www.mediafire.com/file/vj2zwhaydvoykt5/051525-17390-01.dmp/file).

To properly analyze the BSODs, you need the dump files, which are the crash logs. If your system is bootable, check the C:WindowsMinidump folder for any dump files that were created during the crashes. Zip that folder and upload it to a file sharing site like catbox.moe or mediafire.com since Reddit blocks most links. Multiple dump files provide better insights, so if you've got just one, be sure to change the settings for future dumps as outlined in this guide. That way, you can have smaller dumps that won’t overwrite previous ones.
It’s good to hear you updated your BIOS after getting the crash file! If you haven't experienced another BSOD yet, it might be that the update helped. You mentioned having multiple hard drives; it's wise to keep an eye on those as they can cause issues too. If you notice any future crashes, it could be beneficial to check if the dump file points to a specific drive issue.
The crash dump you provided indicates that your motherboard is running on BIOS version 0806. You might want to check if there's a newer version available—latest is 1028 according to the ASUS support page. Sometimes outdated BIOS can cause instability, including BSODs. Have you updated it since that crash?
