Bsod driver_power_state_failure

[JudgeDreadLocks]

Hello. I have been experiencing rather frequent BSOD over the last few days. The first few happened as I was transferring data from one HDD to the other. The latest one happened while clicking a link. That's when I got the Driver power state failure error message. Thanks for any help in advance.

EDIT: Also, I ran memtest86 and did a SFC /scannow, no errors returned.

Ok, I've done that. Should I wait until the next incident?

Yes

Ok, so I've had another blue screen. How do I post up the info?

I configured my computer to create a small dump, but I can't find it. I don't know if it's been included with the zip I've included in this post. Thanks for any assistance.

Checking it now. Sorry about the late reply.

Ask him to free up the startup, take a camera snap of the blue screen and upload it, and ......

Upload the list of all the third party drivers Using NirSoft DriverView :
