DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE (9f) in minidump after BSOD

Question

Hi everyone!

I saw a few questions about this (DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE (9f)) error after BSoD, but no solutions helped so far. Tried I think about 10 different ones, but can't pinpoint the exact problem.

BSOD occurs now too often. Every 5 min or so. Got a new PC couple of weeks ago. Actually, two. One works good, second one started to get BSOD with distorted BSOD.

Hereby are the mini dump files, but they all seem to be the same. The crash happens now every 5 min or so. Can someone please help?

Thank you in advance.

Hello,

1、Ensure that all your device drivers, particularly those related to hardware that interacts with power management (such as the graphics card, motherboard, and USB devices), are up-to-date. You can update drivers manually through Device Manager or use a tool to automate the process.

2、Adjust the power management settings for the device in question. For example, in Device Manager, right-click on the device, select Properties > Power Management tab, and uncheck options like “Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.”

Make sure your operating system is fully patched and up-to-date. Microsoft frequently releases updates that can fix various issues, including those related to power management.

If you are not equipped to debug this problem using the techniques described above, you can use some basic troubleshooting techniques.
