power state failure

[nitishaero]

I have three problem which are not frequent but keeps annoying me now & then…..
1. If I keep my Lenovo S405 (windows 8) idle for some time. My display goes black & it stops responding. With no other option left I have to forcefully push down to power button to shut down.
2. Sometimes when I restart my laptop it takes lot of time & after that a blue screen flashed on my screen having written on it
“ YOUR PC HAS RAN INTO A PROBLEM & NEEDS TO RESTART. WE ARE JUSTCOLLECTING SOME ERROR INFO, & THEN YOU CAN RESTART.(100% COMPLETE). IF YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE SEARCH ONLINE LATER 😀RIVER_POWER STATE_FAILURE.”
With no option left again I have to push the power button & shut down my pc.
3. Sometimes my laptop takes a lot of time to shutdown. When I press the shutdown button my display goes black but my power & hard disk led light doesn’t turn off.
Again I have to push the power button & shut down my pc.

I have searched a lot of answer but none are satisfactory .Please help me with these problem for which I will remain thankful.
I have made no changes in my laptop but I have installed a lot of software cant say which one is causing problem. Please guide me treaing my computer skills as intermediate.

Hi,

Can you provide me the minidump file so that i can tell you which device driver is causing the DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE error. However this error is mostly occurs due to any faulty hardware device, inappropriate or incompatible device drivers, etc. Meanwhile try to boot the computer with Windows 8 bootable DVD support to enable legacy boot menu from command prompt. This will help to boot Windows 8 in safe mode. For further help follow the link given below to resolve this issue.
