BSOD 'driver power state failure', randomly occurs
Hi, I have been searching answers for this for weeks but I can't seem to find a fix for it.
My laptop is Acer E5-572g with GT840M graphic card.
It happens when I installed the driver for the GT840M (I tried the drivers from the CD, acer's website, nvidia's), at first it happened after gaming (not in the games, but randomly occurred sometimes a few mins, sometimes an hour). and when the laptop came back on again, sometimes the GT840 in the device manager went missing and everything works fine (because it's not working) but if it still shows up on the device manager, it will go BSOD randomly again. So in the end I had to remove the driver for the gt840 because it was totally unusable and had to use the on-board's instead.
I also tried the power setting, putting everything about the graphic card into Maximum performance, in windows power plan, intel's, and nvidia's control panel, which didn't work. Removing Daemon tool also didn't work.
I attached the file from the dm log collector.
ps. May be it's a problem with the hardware itself? if that's so then I'm totally screwed, because I'm abroad and have to be here for the next 6 months
Thank you.
EDIT: I found the mini dump now, uploade.
