I am experiencing random Driver_Power_State_Failure BSODs 0x9f.
Problem started under Windows 10 a few weeks ago, all the drivers were updated. It has persisted after the update to Windows 11.
I uninstalled the latest Nvidia drivers (30.0.15.1272, A11), in Safe mode, DDU uninstaller, and installed the previous release (30.0.15.1169, A10), since I suspected the problems was the GPU. Today I had the same problem after a GPU stress test by HeavyLoad.
I uploaded all the minidups to the following link. If I check them by BlueScreenView I see ntoskrnl.exe is involved:
Edit: If I check the Nvidia drivers I see that the system has automatically reinstalled the last version (30.0.15.1272, A11). Maybe SupportAssist did it. So I try to go back to the previous Nvidia Driver release (30.0.15.1169, A10) which worked without problems until the update.
nothing has changed, even with the previous version of the Nvidia drivers. I experienced a new BSOD driver Power State Failure ntoskrnl.exe at the startup of Windows, a few minutes ago.
I have just uploaded the last minidump file and it can be dowloaded at the following link.
Hi, I'm having the same BSOD for the last couple of months when I updated to Win 11.
I have already tried installing lots of nvidia and intel video drivers, changing power plan settings, running support assist and windows update, and I even tried a fresh windows 10 install.. but I'm still facing the same problems. The BSOD kicks in whenever I use an app that uses hardware acceleration. Diabling this is kind of a workaround for now, but I NEED hardware acceleration.
I'm thinking it coud be a physical problem with the nvidia card or something to do with its fan or heatsink (checked temps and everything seems to be ok) or maybe something related with the latest 1.25.0 bios, which I updated sometime near my win 11 update.
I'll try rolling back to 1.24 bios and see how it goes.
Do you have any external doc connected by the USB-C/Thunderbolt port? The ntoskrnl.exe BSOD which I had in 2020 (the link above) was caused by the power management of the Ethernet card (Dell DA200 doc). I had to disable the sleep mode to solve the issue.
Now I am facing a similar situation, it started under Windows 10 and it persists under Windows 11.
Probably the last updates by support assist are the origin of everything. I don't exclude the problem could be the new bios 1.25, but who knows.
What I ask to the 'experts', is there any way to understand the hardware which is responsible of the BSOD by the minidumps?
I don't expect the customer care helps since my experience with them has been more than terrible, in the last years. I have never had a problem solved by them. Sometimes google is the best customer care.
For what I've been reading it is in fact a power management problem conflicting with a driver. In my case I'm sure it has to be the nvidia card because problems start when I enable hardware acceleration. Without doing that, there are no BSODs.
The thing is I tried everything regarding disabling sleep mode and hibernate, bumping up power plan and card settings to maximum performance, SFC /SCANNOW, DSIM, and I even tried underclocking the card by 100mhz. I followed your link and tried to restore legacy power plans and can't seem to do it. 'CsEnable' is no longer to be found in registry.
I tried reverting bios version to 1.24.0 and also tried the newly published 1.26.0 bios and I'm still experiencing the same issues.

What troubles me most is that a fresh windows install didn't solve the problem so it has to be something outside OS config... having tried other bios versions I have no idea where else to look.
I read somewhere to try disabling Intel Power Management Driver but being a driver I don't thing it will change much.
