If you get the Driver Power State Failure error in Windows 10, don’t worry. There are a few different reasons why you might be experiencing this type of failure. In most situations, it’s caused by power setting issues or driver issues. Fortunately, fixing the error is relatively simple.

When you boot your system, do you have a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) error because of a Driver Power State Failure? This guide is just the right one to help you solve your problem. The Driver Power State Failure occurs when an incompatible driver is present on any of your system hardware. Most often restarting the system will resolve the error.

The driver power state failure error is the reason behind your trouble when you see the following notification displayed on your screen:

‘Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart. We’re just collecting some error info, and then we’ll restart for you. If you’d like to know more, you can search online later for this error: DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE’

The distinct blue display screen with this notification about Driver Power State Failure is also known as error 0x0000009F and occurs because of errors in the driver.

At times you may see a Blue Screen error when resuming from Sleep or Hibernate mode, or a Shutdown or Restart. If the error code on the BSOD is DRIVER POWER STATE FAILURE, then its probably because of some issue with driver state. This Stop error indicates that a driver is in an inconsistent or invalid power state. This Stop error typically occurs during events that involve power state transitions, such as shutting down, or moving in or out of standby or hibernate mode.

In the Settings page, you need to select Blue Screen under Find and fix other problems. Apply the fix that is recommended and then, Close the troubleshooter.
