Frequent DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE in Matlab on new Toshiba Laptop
Hi Forum,
I'm writing on behalf of my girlfriend who has a new Laptop, Toshiba SATELLITE P50-C with Intel Core i7-6700HQ CPU and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M. She manually installed Windows 10 Pro x64 on it. She hasn't used it extensively so far, mainly for her student projects involving Matlab and Microsoft Word.
Sadly, she has been getting a lot of BSODs with DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE, alone today it happened 3 times so far. These always seem to be caused by interacting with figures Matlab. She already tried reinstalling Matlab, but no change. I also manually installed the latest NVIDIA driver from their website and updated the Intel Graphics driver through the device manager using windows update. However, none of this has helped.
Is it possible, that this is a hardware problem? My girlfriend is seriously thinking about returning the laptop, which would be a shame because it is otherwise a very nice one...
I hope you can help us, and looking forward to your answers!
