Seemingly random BSOD when not at computer.

[LordBezoar]

I am experiencing BSODs nearly every time I walk away from my machine for more than a couple of minutes. This is a new issue as of yesterday when we returned home from a business trip and hooked my laptop back up at my desk. I have attached the .zip file generated by the diagnostics tool and I am seeing the following error as the cause:

DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE ntoskrnl.exe

Getting to that, however, is as far as I know how to troubleshoot. Any help here would be great.

Thank you in advance!

It looks like your crash is being caused by your asus charger driver:

Looking at the time stamp on the driver we can see it is rather old:

d> lmvm AiCharger

Thanks for the response!

I have updated the charger driver and will see if that fixes the issue.

I do hope it will sort out your problems. Leave the thread open for a week, and if it does not BSOD again mark the thread as solved.
