Error Code Constant Bluescreen Driver Power State Failure
Error Code Constant Bluescreen Driver Power State Failure
DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE
Hi everyone, I've been running into this blue screen error every time I've booted up my PC. This can happen as soon as a few minutes to taking an hour to blue screen. I can simply log in and this still happens. Sometimes it even happens when I try to restart or safe boot.
I had Fedora installed and dual booted but never ran into any instability when using it so I don't think its a hardware issue. I've tried the following (might've forgotten a couple of things). Any help would be greatly appreciate since I've been banging my head against the wall trying to fix it and. for it to happen whenever I think I've fixed it.

Changed the main post and purchased a new Corsair SF850 (2024) 850W in February 2025, now 8 months old.
From the dump, the BSOD originated from the Amdi2c.sys driver. This is evident from the IRP handling the power transition...
Maybe a fun idea...
Have you checked the power supply while the computer runs using a Digital Multimeter? If the voltage or current is off by more than 5%, change the PSU.
PSU voltage testing demands careful focus and precision.
