Hey everyone! I'm experiencing a frustrating issue with my new computer, which is just over a week old. I keep getting a blue screen of death (BSOD) with the message 'DRIVER POWER STATE FAILURE' shortly after starting the PC. It usually crashes after about 5-10 minutes of use. After reinstalling the drivers, it seemed to work for a day, but then the error came back. Today, after about 30-40 minutes of playing EA FC25, I encountered another problem related to my graphics card driver, and I'm also noticing weird graphical issues in games like ETS2 and Forza Horizon. I've attached my system specs and some screenshots for reference. I really don't want to reinstall the system again, so I hope someone can help me out! Thanks!

It sounds like a real headache! First, make sure you've got your Windows and chipset drivers updated, as a missed update can lead to compatibility issues. Also, have you checked your dump files? They can provide useful insights into what’s causing the BSOD. You can find them in C:WindowsMinidump. If you're not sure how to zip and upload them, I can guide you through that!
Yeah, I've updated my drivers right after installation. But I’ll definitely check those dump files to see if they give any clues!
