The flood of WHEA-Logger warnings definitely looks fishy to me, but I've hit a wall in trying to fix it.Īny help that anybody is able to give would be greatly appreciated. I don't know if this information from the Event Viewer is relevant, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to mention it.
That is the most prominent message, but I will list these others that occur before a BSOD, in order of appearance. While the computer is running, there is a steady flow of Warnings from WHEA-Logger (event ID 17), at a rate of about 1-6 every minute, depending on how much the computer is being used at that moment. On a slightly related note, I have also used Event Viewer to search for Warnings and Error messages before and after the BSOD occurs. This works, but it bugs me that I paid extra for a dedicated graphics card that I can't use. My 'workaround' has been to go into the Nvidia Control Panel/Mange 3D Settings/Global Settings and set the integrated Intel graphics card as default. I have used WinDbg to open a minidump file created after one of the restarts, so I have that information if it is useful, but it's really really long, so I won't paste it in here unless someone requests it.
A minute or two later, windows will go BSOD, stating DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE, then restart. Whenever I run an application that is set to use the Nvidia graphics card, the application will eventually freeze. Wireless: Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265 Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 950M (dedicated), Intel HD Graphics 530 (integrated) The laptop is a Toshiba Satellite S55t-C with the following hardware/software: I will try to provide as much useful information as I can, using my knowledge of what all was in the forums I have read. I feel as if I have hit rock bottom on this problem. I have read through many, many, many forums, but none of their solutions have fixed my problem. Unfortunately, from day one, I ran into issues using the dedicated GPU. As an engineer running Solidworks and the like, I thought it would be beneficial to purchase a laptop with a dedicated graphics card. Two months ago, I bought a new laptop for college.
