BSOD: Freezing-DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE 00000000`00000003 0x0000009f

Welcome to SF petey0707 :) .

The bug check is 0x9F which is DRIVER POWER STATE FAILURE that happens in
transitions between power states most commonly S0 (ON state) > S3 (Sleep state)
or vice-versa. You can read more HERE.
Although some drivers such recently released from nVidia have been known to cause random
system freeze and hangs, which is what you're experiencing.
The most common cause is a device driver but sometimes it's the hardware itself
that is at fault.

Code:

BugCheck 9F, {3, fffffa8009159060, fffff80000b9c518, fffffa800b434c70}

Probably caused by : pci.sys  ◄ //Being falsely blamed for the crash.

Code:

!irp fffffa800b434c70
Irp is active with 3 stacks 2 is current (= 0xfffffa800b434d88)

Please follow this detailed quote and roll-back to a known stable version of the driver:

Install the 314.22 WHQL only.

• Uninstall All nvidia items in Control Panel > Programs and features
  
  • 3D Vision Control Driver
  • 3D Vision Driver
  • Graphics Driver
  • HD Audio Driver
  • PhysX
  • nvidia Update
  
  (Are you using nvidia chipset drivers? If so, dont uninstall anything other than those are listed).
• Now follow Drivers - Clean Left over Files after Uninstalling
• Boot normally now. Download 314.22 WHQL. While installing, Select Custom (Advanced) install. In the next page, follow this settings:
  
  

Also follow this tutorial and disable the power management of the PCIe:

• PCIe Link State Power Management - Turn On or Off in Windows

What is the make, model and age of your PSU?
Fill out this form and post back the result:

• Power Supply Calculator

Test for thermals and stability:

• Download HWinfo and post a Screenshot of the sensors window, one at idle and another while putting load on the PC using Prime95 for the CPU side and Furmark for the GPU.
  
  • Before running Prime95 make sure to enable Round-off checking (see 1st post under the tutorial).
  
  

Post back with the results :) .

Thank you! :)

I followed the first quotes steps in full, uninstalling all the drivers in programs and features, restarting when need be, booted in safe mode, ran the DDU, uninstalled the current and previous drivers, booted again but in normal mode, download the 314.22 installing only the PhysX using the clean option in custom, rebooted in normal mode, updated to a more stable driver (331.58), and disabled the power management of the PCIe to Off.

My pleasure :).
I hope you it is a typo and you meant to type "updated to a more stable driver (314.22)" ?

3 - The Screenshots are attached to the zip file for the idle mode and FurMark, I'm running Prime95 now as well. Did you want me to wait 2 hours like the links says? I wasn't sure, and don't want to strain my computer too much. I don't think temperature has much to do with the freezing, as I can play games no problem, it only really freezes at random when on Youtube or Facebook, but runs perfectly with video games (at least so far).

How long did you run Furmark for, because 43° is pretty low (which is a good thing)?
