Resolved WIN10 Blue Screen

I have a HP dc7800 desktop that gets a blue screen about 3 minutes after cold Startup. It says "Driver Power State Failure" and requires a Restart. How do I fix?

 

Have you tried updating your Graphics driver?
Right click Start > Device Manager > Display Adapter

 

There is no update available.

 

HP does not list the graphics driver and the the other forum reference is for a laptop and the power setting choices are different than a desktop.
At least my problem only happens sometimes only once a day at startup.
Thanks,
KB

 

Have you tried a "Rollback of driver" ?
Or a Reset to a date prior to problem?

 

I did a complete restore from backup and the problem went away. After a week it is back only occasionally.

 

Are you using inboard graphics?
Can you try a graphics card?

 

Yes, graphics comes from the mother board. I can try a plug in card, but since the problem went away on it's own, I will wait to see if it comes back.
Thanks, KB

 

I have not found the direct cause, but since I have been turning the computer on 10 minutes before using it, to let the computer fully digest startup, the blue screen rarely happens.

 

Since it still happens only occasionally, and no one else has an idea on how to fix it, we might as well close the subject.

 

Sorry Ken I've been busy with family problems. Your problem suggests to me that you may have a poor connection. I would power down the comp and check all connections by disconnecting and wiping where possible with a microfibre cloth then refit connection. Make sure you are grounded and that the AC power is switched off!!!
If it seems to work when you allow it to warm up before use - suggests connection poor somewhere.

 

Since the computer doesn't tell me which driver has a problem and where it stores the data it collected, I am wondering where I should start cleaning. I am concerned that if I take too much apart at once I could break something. Thanks.

 

Any related help/ideas here?

Yes, but the problem repeated twice in the last week and there is no consistency or correlation of errors in the System Event Log.

 

I think I found the culprit: Critical Kernel-Power 41.

 

Lots of ideas there, Thanks.
I tried to update the Trusted Platform Module 1.2 driver and it required other software installation that crashed the computer. Glad I have backups. Do I really need that feature?

 

I turned off fast startup and all seems well. We will be sure in a couple of weeks.
Thanks to all.
