Blue Screen 5 mins after every other time I start my PC

[TheNuzziNuzz]

The error usually says "Driver Power state failure"

Every OTHER boot, after between 2 and 5 minuets a BSOD. Here are my dumpfiles: https://1drv.ms/u/s!ArHstwOM3zZHgc3RW402HylWI-J51-I?e=UlIwgR

 

This randomly started about a week ago - although I THINK the start of the issue was when my BIOS switched to some 2nd backup BIOS because the motherboard app prompted me to install a BIOS update, and all my bios settings were wiped, The version showed an older version of the BIOS prior to what it was when I updated it when I first got this motherboard, and my saved bios presets were different....weird. I can tell when it switches between the two because the original BIOS instance has a problem were on forced reset (so blue screen, or power loss) it wipes my fan curve settings - whereas the version that I think may be linked to the power state failure BSODs doesn't have the fun curve problem.

I did have occasional BSODS prior to a week ago, so I'm not sure if this is the reason for the issues. However, the BSODs were rare. These are literally multiple times a day, every other I boot to windows.

Ah... can you try creating a Linux boot USB and boot from that, see if the same happens. That'll determine hardware failure or Windows issue

I just realized, I have some fast mode enabled for my drive in Samsung. And I think after a BSOD, I remember a pop-up saying magician failed to start. I'll try disabling magician and see what happens

@Mel0nMan

Okay so I think the issue is Samsung Magician. On the boots that don't result in a BSOD the app won't even start!
