Question Odd DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE on startup, but fine after restart

Hi everyone,

For some context, I did a clean install of Windows about 3 weeks ago. Just last week, my computer would run for a little bit after startup then hit me with a "DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE" BSOD. After Windows automatically restarts from there, I can use my PC fine without any issues. The only annoying thing is that it happens every time I turn on my computer or wake it up from sleep.

Now, I haven't really installed any drivers that could be causing this issue. The only thing I've really done was plug in my USB Xbox controller (more on it later) and I also had an overclock on my GPU (maybe a little too much?) that I have since disabled, but I don't know if that is what's wrong. My BIOS is up to date and I don't want to go about messing around with every installed driver, guessing and checking to solve the issue. My main concern is pinpointing the exact driver that's giving me issues.

I'm going to attach some relevant information that might help solve this issue.

Crash description from Event Viewer:
The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x0000009f (0x0000000000000003, 0xffffc8842d9af8f0, 0xfffff8017786d750, 0xffffc88433f9db20). A dump was saved in: C:\WINDOWS\MEMORY.DMP. Report Id: 30e04ef6-d456-404d-9728-54ef520859b3.

BlueScreenViewer (I started by analyzing the crashes that were happening, then got some interesting results when I ran Driver Verifier, more on that later):

Going through some dumps, it appears that xusb22.sys or something to do with an Xbox controller is giving me issues. I can upload more dumps later but what's the immediate cause of this issue? Should I uninstall the driver for now?

Much thanks in advance.
