Driver Power State Failure

If you want to deal with this problem head on ...

4. How to Fix a DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE Error in Windows

As Windows stop codes go, DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE is fairly interesting. It indicates that a driver on your PC has fallen into an invalid or inconsistent power state. Thus, it usually occurs as PCs resume normal activity from some kind of Sleep or Hibernation state. Essentially, it crashes your PC and gives you a BSOD to avoid damage to the system or to data storage devices that might otherwise occur if the drivers and their associated devices were allowed to continue working.
