Driver Power State Failure

The symptoms: my machine slowed to a crawl. I was unable to open most apps and Windows Explorer. Firefox worked as did Gmail. Then, when I started up, the machine would pause at the ASUS welcome screen and sometimes go no further. Other times it would go to the Windows sign-in screen and I could sign in.

At that point, all I had was a black screen with only the Wacom Tablet app from which I could access Wacom Support on Firefox and then the rest of the internet.

Sometimes, would get the BSOD with the notice that the problem was the Drive Power State Failure. Not sure what to do now, since I can;t get beyond that black screen.
