Hey everyone,
Specs: i7-9700k/EVGA 2080 Ti/32GB DDR4 RAM/Corsair RMX650 PSU
I have two issues that I think are related to one another.
First. When I boot up my PC (the times that I do shut it down), Windows starts up in low resolution and I have to wait about 2 to 10 mins for my graphics drivers to kick into 4K. I'm not sure why this happens, but here's what I've done to troubleshoot:
  • Reinstalled NVidia drivers
  • Rolled back NVidia drivers
  • Updated MOBO BIOS
None of these solved the issue at all.
Second. While the above issue happens, I frequently get the BSOD and the error message is "Driver Power State Failure." To troubleshoot this issue, I did the following:
  • Disconnected extra HDDs and SDDs
  • Adjusted power settings to maximum performance for Wireless adapter
  • Adjusted PCI adapter to maximum performance
  • Turn off the feature allowing my HDD to go to sleep
  • Turned off sleep mode
  • Set my PC in both High Performance and Balanced Power options
  • Removed external USB devices
Nothing works and I still get both of these problems.
Does anyone know about this problem or experienced it themselves? What was your solution? Any help is appreciated very much.
Thanks!
