Whenever i click the X to close my geforce experience and my laptop hang.About few mins later, BSOD happened with details: power driver state failure. I asked my laptop manufacturer and he said is usually an issue with the driver when switching between IGPU and DGPU. I did not understand what he told me. All i know is something related to Intel Graphic HD which is IGPU and DGPU which is Dedicated Graphics which either Nvidia/AMD. My laptop specs:
Core i7- 6700HQ
Intel HD 520
Nvidia GTX 960m
8GB RAM
250GB Samsung SSD
1TB Seagate Hard disk

 
Solution
Generally you will need to update the bios and the motherboard drivers provided the motherboard vendors website. Otherwise you would have to identify the device that fails to respond to sleep/wake events and go to windows control panel device manager and disable is power management functions. Some people just set the machine to high performance so no hardware will sleep.
You can also start cmd.exe as an admin and run
Powercfg.exe /energy
And look at the the report to get a idea as to what fails to wake/sleep.
