Frequent BSOD (driver power state failure)


I used to had the dpc watchdog violation BSOD , but it was okay from quite days .
but now i have another BSOD with error "driver power state failure"

This usually happens when i am working on photoshop or illustrator, i lost my unsaved files because of this which is very bad , i had to work from scratch several times because of this BSOD.

Another thing i noticed this BSOD only occurs when the laptop is not charging.

Here is the dumpfile.

Hoping for a working solution

Hi best,

The dumps are dating from last month.
Please check {windows partition}windowsminidump and check if there are any recent dump files saved.
Please make sure your pc is configured for small dump files How to configure minidump | Windows 10 tutorial

If you're using Ccleaner or another program, please stop using them, these program delete dump files that are needed for the troubleshooting process.

Oh yes i am sorry about that.

Here is the latest one

Did you have anything connected to your laptop yesterday?

2 of the 3 crashes are caused by the Nvidia Video driver
Please do the following
  • Search services.msc and open it
  • Search Nvidia Streamer Service
  • Right click > properties
  • Change the startup type to disable.

External harddisk was connected to the laptop yesterday.

I will try this solution you stated but will it affect with the pc performance in any way?

No it wouldn't, this service is known for causing trouble since a while. I don't know if/when Nvidia fixes it.

Connect something else to your laptop that you know works correctly.
If you get 'DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION' again, then it is the USB port causing the bluescreen.
If not, then there might be a problem with the extern HDD.

Thank you so much for the help.
I will try your given solutions.

Keep us posted
