Seemingly random BSOD's on new laptop (ntoskrnl.exe)?
Hi everyone,
I'm having an issue with my new laptop running Windows 10. After increasingly short periods of time, I am experiencing a BSOD seemingly at random, with the error message "DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE". I have looked into my minidump file using BlueScreenViewer and it tells me that the ntoskrnl.exe driver causes the error, which isn't entirely useful. I have also looked at my device manager and there are no yellow exclamation marks suggesting an out of date driver. The BSOD happens more whenever I am gaming, but can crop up at times when I'm just listening to music or browsing on the internet, so I can't be sure of the cause.
That's pretty much the limit of my tech knowledge so I'm pretty stumped on what's causing the issue.
Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom
