unplug your tower and carry it to the top of the steps, drop it down a minimum of 10 steps, pick it up, carry it back to your computer room and plug it in, it will work like new, i promise (sorta)

There should be more to it than "DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE"

Its a driver issue, which one we dont know without the code such as 0x3, 0x100, or 0x101, etc.

And yea, disregard any idiot that has only to add of "dropping it down the stairs"

Make sure to download all the updates from Windows update. Usually fixes it for me.

Are you using windows 8? If you are try turning off the "turn on fast startup" setting in your power settings. Mine did this too until I shut it off. Goto control panel >> power options >> then on the left hand side of that window click "choose what the power buttons do." Once you are in there go down to the shut down settings and just uncheck turn on fast startup. Mine hasn't done it since I turned that off.
