Cause of Driver Power State Failure in Windows 10
The Driver Power State Failure usually occurs when a device driver on a Windows 10 system goes into sleep mode while the device is in use. Normally when this happens, Windows sends a command to the driver to wake it up. If the device driver doesn’t respond in a certain amount of time, Windows 10 launches the blue screen window and restarts the system. This error usually occurs when a driver is outdated or corrupted, or when installing a driver that’s incompatible with the system. The most common drivers that cause this error are the graphics card and the Wi-Fi adapter.
