“DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE” on Windows 10

I've been prompted with BSoD, at seemingly random times, with the above error. This is off a fresh install of Windows 10 (2 times in fact) on a new hard drive. This is my model: https://docs.sony.com/release/specs/SVF15A18CXB_mksp.pdf

Here are the recent .dmp files for your analysis: http://bit.ly/1d2w4gZ

All my drivers are up to date. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Solution 1:

Update: So it's a known driver issue with Nvidia on a pre-release OS. Welcome to beta testing. Some people are lowering the frequency of these errors by using an older Nvidia driver (350.12) or the new beta notebook driver 353.17 or reverting to their onboard video driver while waiting for updated drivers. There's not much else you can do.

Initial suggestion

• Check Sony's site to see if you have the latest BIOS installed

  • Check for corrupt system files by executing the following from a Command Prompt (Admin) and typing in sfc /scannow

  • Use MemTest86 to check for faulty RAM

Solution 2:

My Microsoft contact looked at the dump and told me, that the nVIDIA GPU driver caused it. So update the nVIDIA driver and try the Windows 10 driver, which nVIDIA offers.

On 2015/06/22, nVIDIA relased a new WHQL driver 353.30. Try this updated driver.
