Windows 10: Memory_management, driver_power_state_failure,

I am getting a moderate number of BSOD crashes, but not always for the same reason. I did a clean install of the latest nvidia drivers (drivers and phys-x only) and also ran memtest86 overnight with no errors. But still get random BSODs. I also get a lot of errors in the event viewer, though I am not sure if that is related....

Last month I received help from this forum to solve repeated d DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE crashes, which turns out was related to my mis-installation of the nvidia drivers (not installing phys-x), but these crashes seems to be different.

As always, a big TIA for any help

Windows 10 errors, recurring restarts

I had Windows 8.1 until July or August when I upgraded to Windows 10. I had no problems upgrading and no problems after until just recently (right around November 23rd or so). Since then, I've had a total of 3 different errors popping up at different times,
one of them almost crashed my computer. Luckily, I was able to recover from a back up saved to my hard drive and I haven't experienced the same error since. The reason I'm writing this now is because a new error came up today (part of the 3 I mentioned before)
that came up as Driver_Power_State_Failure. I tried looking it up and I haven't been able to figure out what the problem is. Previous errors I've had is Memory_Management and IRQL_Not_Less_Or_Equal. The Memory_Management one almost crashed my computer. Can
someone help me with these so I can prevent these from popping up in the future? If not, I'm going to have to revert back to Windows 8.1 so I can at least still do what I want to do without so many errors.

 

Lots of BSOD's

PS: after my previous/last replie i had 3 more BSOD's:

seems like there are a lot of random once...

Hi 200qa200k,

Please check your software for updates!

You have performed MemTest86 or MemTest86+? How many passes?
What is the frequency and voltage of the memory according to your BIOS?

Hello axe0

Thank you for your reply and suggestions.

In order of your suggestions and questions:

1. I ran memtest86 v4.3.7 (not plus). Not sure how many passes, but it ran continuously overnight (about 7 hours) without error

2. The memory frequency is 1600 Mhz and the DRAM voltage is 1.52 v

3. Seatools short test ran without error in both windows and dos mode (windows mode result in attached)

4. Chkdis ran without error on both hard disks. I did not run it on the SSD (screenshot attached)

5. HDtune ran without error on both HDDs and the SDD (screenshot attached)

So, so far, it seems that the system should be healthy..very curious..

Thank you again for your help

I don't know what DDR you run with your memory, but if it is DDR3 I recommend running MemTest86+





Diagnostic Test

RAM TEST


Run MemTest86+ - Test RAM - Windows 10 Forums



Note



MemTest86+ needs to be run for at least 8 passes for conclusive results. Set it running before you go to bed and leave it overnight. We're looking for zero errors here. Even a single error will indicate RAM failure.

 

axe0

I ran memtest86+ 5.01 overnight, and after 7 passes, there were zero errors. I will run it again to get 8 passes ( i mis-read your instructions and did not run the full 8 passes).

One thing I missed in your original note - was there any specific software you think I should update? Windows is fully up to date.

thank you!

There are many programs with drivers that need updating. That is why I made it general.

 

Is there a driver scan utility that you recommend/like?

D

 

Those who know / have experience with these programs, like myself, won't recommend any.
Such programs causes problems when you 'accidentally' install drivers.
