Occasional DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE
Hi, this is my first post in TenForums.
So I have this PC installed with Windows 10 Pro build 1909 for a year, an old Haswell build:
Asus Z97 board with i7-4770, AMD RX580, 8 Gb rams.
It runs great, except sometimes there's a slight issue that leads to BSOD DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE.
It usually happens when I'm about to start a game(Monster Hunter World), it'll stuck in permanent black screen.
I need to alt+F4 or force close from task manager, and in Event Viewer logs I can see it's register as event 1002 Application Hang(Hang type: Top level window is idle).
At that point I can still do some browsing, opening videos or anything except starting the game(it'll stuck in black screen again guaranteed, even after restarting Steam)
Now, if I attempt to do Sleep/Restart/Shutdown, Windows will stuck.
Sometimes, after a few minutes, it will generates BSOD DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE & crash dumps , but sometimes it'll stay stuck for hours.
The game and everything will work perfectly normal after reboot though.
FYI, sometimes it just happened without me triggering the black screen. Means it'll be straight to Windows 10 cant shutdown/restart/sleep problem.
This is really random. It can occur only once a month or sometimes twice a week.
And its started since I installed Windows 10 last year. I was suspecting this is a bug on graphical card driver so I did the latest driver update before, but the issue persist. I already tried to update another drivers like audio,network card, chipset and updating the windows too, but to no avail.
Do you think a BIOS update will help this kind of BSOD? Haven't touch BIOS update yet and I hope I don't need to.
Please help me pinpoint the problem. Thank you!
