Maybe the bluetooth is physically damaged and i should replace it. ( off-topic : 20 mins leaver buster as a gift cause of a short "break" ). After checking event viewer the only error there was a "Activation failure". Today i got again the DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE BSOD but this time it came from alt-tabbing League of Legends, this time bluetooth was off so i don't think it has anything to do with it. I did change few settings inside BIOS and still nothing. I did check all the power settings and set everything to maximum performance except for PCI Express and Link State Power Management where the only options i've got are : OFF/Moderate power savings/Maximum power savings.
Driver power state failure windows 8 update#
As i said before i did update the driver many times : From asus official driver page, from the manufacturer page, and using third-party software. About one year ago i would get the same BSOD after opening SMITE or CS:GO from steam without having my laptop plugged in. I had problems with the bluetooth before buying the HIFI-system but i didn't think too much about it. If the bluetooth is on and that icon is not there i will get DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE BSOD, or if i go ahead and shutdown the laptop it will not shutdown (computer fans / hdd lights on yet the screen is black and everything else is not working) or if i choose restart it the laptop will shutdown completely instead of restart. When i open the bluetooth usually i get a new icon (bluetooth one) in the toolbar. I bought a philips mini-HIFI system and i keep trying to connect via bluetooth. I think the bluetooth is the main problem. But now, after years i think i found out the main problem. For entire periods of time i would not get any of these issues.
Driver power state failure windows 8 drivers#
Updated all the drivers manually and using third party software or using windows features to update the drivers. Tracking programs that might not allow the computer to shutdown. Computer fans / hdd lights on yet the screen is black and everything else is not working ĭuring this period of time i tried everything i found on internet. If it's possible i will try and go for windows 7 instead of 10. I said "made" because there are no drivers for windows 7 on the asus support page. The laptop is "made" for windows 8 or higher so i run windows 10. During these two years of use i kept bumping into various issues. I bought it new from the store two years ago.
