Multiple BSODs with DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE at the top
Hi everyboy. I have tried to follow the instructions provided as closely as possible but am not technically equipped to be sure I've done all the right things in all the right ways.
I am unable to open the .dmp files in the zip folder that the DM log collector collected - WinSDK wont install the debugger that I would need to do that (apparently because I have a version of Visual C++ that's too new or something but, again, I am not equipped to sort that out myself).
I originally suspected the crashes were happening because of the battery I bought from a third party manufacturer - windows and lenovo power manager had started telling me that it would need to be replaced soon shortly before they started happening.
So I started to use the laptop plugged in, without the battery in at all, and that worked for a while. But recently I've had a few separate BSOD crashes whilst in that state. I tried to use the driver verifier in its standard settings (yes, I failed to follow the instructions properly, a thousand apologies) and that caused a crash but no obviously useful information was forthcoming .
- So now I've come to you for help.
