  1. My computer randomly powers down.


    So for about a week now my computer randomly shuts down, no temp issues, no warning. I hear the click of the PSU and it just shuts off. Ive tried a new PSU and same issue. No changes had been made to the computer to cause this. Yesterday i ran the built in memory test and that ran perfectly for an hour and a half but anytime im loaded into windows it auto shuts down. Sometimes within 10 minutes all the way to 45. Ive had the pc at multiple homes and same issue which rules out a power issue. I have been contemplating upgrading the PC anyways. I just want to know if i can figure out which compon

    Computer Randomly Turns on From Sleep

    I only saw this thread now, otherwise I would have suggested this sooner.
    I had that same problem you are having, my computer was waking-up from S3 and the culprit was my X7 mouse.
    powercfg -lastwake also listed the HID keyboard device which was an extension of the mouse.
    Besides going in device manager and setting everything to not being able to wake-up the computer from S3, I also did this to the power profiles:

    Worked for me.

    BSOD DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE randomly after cold boot/sleep

    For the past month I have been getting random BSOD's all with driver power state failure. They happen randomly, usually within the first 5-10 minutes of cold booting or waking my computer. Steps I have taken to attempt to fix the problem:
    1. Reinstalled GPU drivers/ tried old drivers
    2. Fresh installed Windows 1803, still happened, then fresh installed 1709
    3. Disabled Fast Boot
    None of these things fixed the issue, any help would be much appreciated at pinpointing the issue. Thanks

    • Go to the computer manufacturer's website.
    • Look for the computer model that you're using.
