Experiencing repeated crashes due to driver power failure on your MSI GP66 laptop.
Experiencing repeated crashes due to driver power failure on your MSI GP66 laptop.
I'll keep an eye on the situation moving forward. Initially I couldn't locate it but I chose to add it to my system despite possible existing presence, then removed it once detection occurred. If issues remain, a hard reset or a fresh Windows install might be worth considering.
Issue occurred once more; followed the driver installation guide, but the system still displayed the DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE error. The updated DMP file is available here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BdJ62rt...sp=sharing. A forum member from MSI recommends checking for an Nvidia Driver issue and suggests using DDU again, this time downloading the OEM driver directly from the MSI website.
This crash seems quite different from previous ones, suggesting an issue with the driver. It might be related to the software used, so you could try contacting DDU. However, at this stage, if this is my setup, I’d prefer using the backup/reload feature since it’s less stressful.
I’m preparing to back up my personal files onto the USB drive and reset the laptop to its original state. The Steam games are already in the cloud, so I won’t have to worry about them. I’ll need to reinstall all the work software afterward. This time the crash message is different—I’m certain it’s not ShareX since I removed it yesterday.
Just found out that was a old software I used for college in order to run applications like Photoshop. It's a software that provides me access to full paid versions of certain programs without paying a single cent as a College student. I have went ahead and uninstalled the application itself and will follow up if that solved the issue.
Just to confirm, I believe I resolved the BSOD. I haven't experienced one in two days. I downloaded the drivers from the MSI website and removed the "application jukebox" program installed on the laptop, which likely fixed the issue. I'll create another thread if it reappears. Thanks for your assistance!
