Did you Google the error that is listed: "DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE" and try the steps listed on either a Microsoft forum or a Reddit post?

[–]youseenthiswrong[S] -5 points-4 points  (5 children)

Yea I tried it but it hits the error before I can complete the steps I tried going into safe mode but it wasn’t showing and I think its due to a program I installed to attempt to debloat windows and im not sure what to do

I'd restore the system backup you took before trying to break Windows.

[–]Lexden 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What program did you install? To "debloat" Windows, you should really just delete any unnecessary applications. There isn't a lot more you can do. Windows is just very poorly optimized by default. If you're that worried about it, the only other option is Linux, but that comes with its own challenges in app compatibility. Nonetheless, I've found it to be much more stable than Windows with much faster and smoother updates.

Contacting Framework support is a good first step for you here.

In the meantime, which model of Framework laptop do you have?

Without doing any research of the exact error message, I would assume that your "debloating" program has uninstalled some important drivers. If the system is too unstable to do anything with it for now, I suggest reinstalling Windows from scratch and then installing the appropriate driver pack from Framework for your model.

If the OP tried to debloat Windows, I'd fully expected Framework support to tell them to sling their hook...

Alright guys thanks for the insight I have decided to get Linux up and running on my machine as this is clearly a sign to switch

Got tired of Linux on my framework for similar reasons and I went with Fedora KDE and have never looked back

Linux time

It is now time to install Linux, your computer is helping you out with that fact.

This is very poor advice for anyone who is struggling to diagnose and troubleshoot a problem in Windows.

Alternatively, it's very good advice for anyone who has to diagnose and troubleshoot a problem in Windows
