    BSOD triggered by launching programs or more CPU activity


    I've had BSoDs before, less frequently, now I'm having them so much, that I can't rely on my laptop at all. I'v noticed that they tend to occur when launching or loading something. For example if I was to open a new tab in Chrome or Launch Crysis 2. I performed a memtest, which turned out to be fine, just as I expected. Could you please help me find out what causes those BSoDs?

    The following error is being stated in BSOD: Driver Power State Failure

    I'm running my laptop on battery or with battery attached and a charger in. I don't really have the chance to run it without battery and charger in.

    The .zip should be attached.

    EDIT: The windows volume mixer is running but seems to be unresponsive to anything besides changing volume levels. Don't get me wrong - the program IS RUNNING, however if I try to disable a microfon or change my speakers enchantments, simply nothing happens. I can press "ok" as many times as I wanted but no effect would be taken. If I go back to the settings, they appear unmodifyed again. Could this be a part of my BSOD problem? The drivers are up to date aswell.

    EDIT 2: By uninstalling the audio drivers and reinstalling them from a backup disc, my audio problems were unresolved, however a rollback got my audio working again. The problem is still there, I can't change any audio settings. At least sound still plays. BSODs still occur.

    Hi LaserChair.

    Install Service pack 1 and all other windows updates. Otherwise the system will remain vulnerable to threats including BSODs.
    Code:
    Windows 7 Kernel Version 7600 MP (4 procs) Free x64
Product: WinNt, suite: TerminalServer SingleUserTS
Built by: 7600.16385.amd64fre.win7_rtm.090713-1255

    The following error is being stated in BSOD: Driver Power State Failure
    Most of the recent BSODs are VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE (116). But There are other codes too. Whatever, at first you need to update windows. Then we have to see what is causing display failure there.
