Driver Power State Failure

Post by jmt356 »

My computer just recovered from a crash. Upon restart, Windows displayed a message stating that there was a "Driver Power State Failure."

About 3 hours prior to the crash, my computer unexpectedly and without warning shut down, even though it was connected to power and had a full battery.

What might be happening and how concerned should I be?
Regards,
