Then after about 5 mins i guess the intel rapid storage technology kicks in after every reboot and the computer freezes while the left fan fires up to full blast followed by the right, then the intel rapid storage tech icon says working and everything goes back to normal. It took a while to restart and boot up, then it took about another min or two on the desktop for the icons to actually come up, the wifi to actually connect, and the lighting to restart itself and actually work if you know what i mean. After all this i restarted the computer for good measure just in case. Once i was on my desktop i opened the intel driver update tool, downloaded and installed the latest intel driver, then ddu seemed to have deleted geforce experience so i redownloaded that and the driver as well and installed it. Help :(Īlright so I downloaded the latest driver from nvidia geforce experience, installed it, then i opened up ddu in safe mode how it said and I clicked to uninstall the nvidia, then as soon as it restarted I did the same thing with intel. Nothing is really installed on this computer besides the stuff from the first time setup, steam, origin, bf4, csgo, dayz, minecraft, fraps, chrome, skype, geforce experience, cpuid hwmonitor, hwinfo64, and gpu-z. Some additional details would be that its a 17r2 with a 980m, 16gb RAM, 128gb ssd, 1tb hdd, 240w psu, bios A00, nvidia driver 344.73.

This is the first time this has happened and I am very scared because this is a brand new computer and all i really want from it is to always work good.

This bsod took a good min or two to restart and after i entered my password i was on a black screen for about another min. It did randomly restart on its own yesterday for no apparent reason tho, but no bsod. This is the absolute first time it has blue screened as I have only had it for about 5 days.

Right after I quit and was just chillin on my desktop for a few mins checking my temps, which were decent, my computer blue screened with the frowny face saying it ran into a problem and needs to restart with the DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE. Alright so about 15 mins ago I was playing bf4 as usual on my 17r2 for about an hour.
