Hey everybody,

I have an issue which I am sadly not able to solve on my own. I get random blue screens, where my computer restarts and then works normal again.
The Error message is: Driver Power State Failure
In the event log the error these are the details:

You didn't find what save path?

Strange, I checked the logs and the installers and while the logs do show amd_sata the installers don't show any drivers. There are a few larger files inside the installers, but I can't look into them.

In the device manager, go to controllers and uninstall AMD SATA Controller, check the box for removal of drivers as well if available, then reboot. Windows should automatically reinstall the drivers, but to be safe after the reboot check Windows Update for updates.


Please remove driver booster, you don't need it.
 
Where the BSOD Collection App saves the file.

I uninstalled the drivers (including the check box) and restartet the computer.
Searched in Windows Update for Updates and installed what was there (no AMD Sata driver though).
Now I have just have this driver twice "Standard SATA AHCI Controller ".
Before I had AMD Sata Driver and Standard SATA AHCI Controller .
Should I run the amd chipset installer again?

I uninstalled driver booster
