If you are seeing a blue screen of death message on your Windows 10 system and the error message at the bottom reads DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE, there are a few things you need to try to fix the issue.

Driver Power State Failure usually occurs when a device driver on a Windows 10 system goes into sleep mode while the device is in use.

Normally, when this happens, Windows sends a command to the driver to wake it up. If the device driver does not respond within a certain time, Windows 10 will start the blue screen window and restart the system.

This error usually occurs when a driver is outdated or corrupted, or when a driver is installed that is not compatible with the system. The most common drivers that cause this error are the graphics card and the Wi-Fi adapter.
