Question about the driver power state failure BSOD?
Question about the driver power state failure BSOD?
Hi people,
After assembling my new PC, I've had four blue screens of death (two different sessions, twice at the beginning of each session, no longer after). The first two times, the PC crashed when I launched GPUZ (PC semi froze and then after 20 seconds BSODed), second session was during a random internet session (GPUz has been uninstalled and reinstalled, it now works).
I collected the dmp files and tried to look into it, by looking how some people here did, but I'm a bit out of my depth, I have to admit. I can't find a device that would be the responsible and beyond that... big ? for me.
If any charitable soul could help me, that would be great.
PC Specs
Motherboard: MSI B850 Tomahawk
CPU: Ryzen 7 9800X3D
GPU: Asus 5070 Ti Prime
RAM: 64GB DDR5 [2 x 32GB] in the correct slots
3 x NVMe SSD and 1 x SATA SSD
Only one NVME is new and I cloned Windows on it from my old rig with Macrium Reflect.
The other drives come from the old PC.
Nothing is overclocked. I launched two demanding games (ultra modded Skyrim and Doom dark ages), seemed perfectly fluid. Temps seem normal.
Dmp files for the 4 crashes in one zip :

Thanks in advance.
your drive was released in 2017, you may want to begin with installing a utility such as crystaldiskinfo.exe to examine the smart information from the drive and assess its condition along with the firmware version.
note:
-your firmware can be updated if you're encountering a specific issue.
-your motherboard's BIOS is 23 versions outdated.
-please ensure there is ample free space on your drive, since as it degrades the available capacity will decrease.
if the drive runs out of space, the TRIM command may not function properly and the drive could begin to time out.
(verify drive health and disk space availability)
note: after updating the BIOS, you'll also need to refresh the CPU chipset drivers. (the restart following a BIOS update can last up to 15 minutes)
removing or deleting temporary files and unnecessary programs can help reclaim space and prolong the drive's lifespan. you can boot into BIOS and keep the system idle for about an hour to allow the drive firmware sufficient time to clean itself.
a firmware upgrade for the drive might resolve the issue of failing to power on, but you may also need to update the BIOS and chipset drivers. alternatively, you could instruct Windows not to put the drive to sleep by adjusting settings in the device manager—select the power management tab, check the box that disables sleep, and click apply. (this option might be available at the SATA port or on the drive itself)
