driver_power_state_failure bsod asus laptop please help!

[Matt1476]

I've had this notebook for about a month now, and I only get bsod after exiting a few certain games. The games are: Magic 2014, Gunpoint, Payday 2, and most recently, Total War Rome II. I'm not sure if this makes a difference or not, but I just found it odd how my computer could handle a game like Battlefield 3 on high settings, but not something like Magic. I'm pretty sure that it's one of my drivers causing the problem, but I'm not too computer savvy, and I've had a horrendous time trying to update them, both from Asus' support website and from Intel. Trying to do everything manually, I think I may have also completely screwed up my realtek audio driver, as it won't recognize my headphones anymore. I've downloaded driver update software, but I really don't want to have to pay. If all else fails, I guess I'll have to. The following is some of my system information:

I'm sorry if this is way too much information or not enough; I just really don't know what else to do.

Try updating your Intel Rapid Storage. My researches from internet concluded this likely to be the problem. ASUS and Lenovo forums tell the same thing (and the solution) for Windows 8.1

DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE

this generally indicates that a driver was told to change it power state (go to sleep to save power) later you start using the machine and and windows tries to wake up the device and it does not respond so windows generates this bugcheck.

-most of the time it will be a bug in a driver or in the electronics of the device (very common on older devices)

-you will see this on windows 8.x because they turned this feature on by default, it was off by default in windows 7.

most common fix will be to update a device driver or disable the sleep feature for the offending device in windows power management.
you just need to figure out what device is failing. you can do that by turning off all the power management sleep functions and just enable them one at a time each until your system breaks again. or
you can post the memory dump file on a cloud server and someone can look at it and maybe see the name of the device that failed

sometimes you can figure out the failure base on how long it takes to fail, devices are told to go to sleep at different times based on various settings.

in your case you would post the file 062814-36421-01.dmp on skydriver or google docs and I could take a quick look with the windows debugger.
