Hi everyone.

Having some trouble with an Nvidia RTX 5070. Keep on getting BSOD with error POWER_SAVING_STATE_FAILURE.

Have turned Power Saving in Nvidia Control Panel to Maximum Performance rather than Normal so it's not throttling the power delivery, but it's still playing up.

Anyone had this problem or encountered this issue?

Any help would be awesome.

Thanks

Does the BSOD occur when it's in Normal power setting? Out of curiosity, is your PSU have capacity to handle the 5070 and the rest of your PC? What peripherals do you have connected? 

Just general recommendations: 1) Update drivers and 2) Run sfc /scannow

Done both and no luck Sonic. As for 5070 I got a 2025 RM1000e Corsair so it's more than capable of powering it. Black screen of death occurs in normal and max performance mode unfortunately.

Got a MSI Tomahawk B760 WiFi with 32gigs of DDR5. It's got pci5 slot and the 5070 actually runs at pci5.

Peripherals. I have a Nuphy Field75 keyboard. HyperX mouse. Webcam, solo cast microphone, the whole kit and kaboodle.

 

Hello,

Have you tried disabling ASPM (Active State Power Management) for the PCIe slot that the card is plugged into?  This can usually be done from the BIOS (UEFI) settings.

I don't think I can disable that Goretsky, but I will try this morning. Thank you

There a chance you can revert to an earlier driver, and see what happens? Did this driver update the thing that caused all this?

Can't say mate. Its a new card, so I havent tried drivers pre 591.74 soz.

I'm running the latest beta BIOS Joni. Actually had to reinstall Windows for it to quieten down.

Raised a ticket with NVIDIA and they said to monitor it and watch it going forwards.

Was you able to fix it by going back a driver? I also have the 5070 FE so if I can help, just give me a shout.

Edit: It is not built into a PC atm though.

You said you reinstalled windows, was that a clean install? If not a clean install did you previously have an nvidia card? 

Yes I did have a NVIDIA card previously. Had an NVIDIA 3060 but after a reinstall of Windows, not one BSOD thank goodness.

Thanks Steven, but the built system is my daily driver. I had to fix it as I game and use it regularly.

Thanks for you consideration chap :)

Are there any codes when the BSOD happens? have you tried using something like Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to wipe all of the nvidia software and reinstall with a fresh driver?

I did use DDU in Safe Mode to clear all the drivers off. Unfortunately when I reinstalled the drivers, it still BSOD'd on me, so I was still up the creak w/o a paddle.

A full Windows reinstall did sort the problem though, so now I'm running fresh WIndows 11 with 591.74 Nvidia Driver and App. Everythings nice and buttery smooth now,

Many thanks to Mindovermaster and the Mods for coming together for me and for everyone elses help :)

Kind regards

This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files by Usama Jawad Microsoft Purview is a pretty useful data governance, security, and management service that allows customers to gain enhanced visibility and control over their content. It's meant for commercial customers, such as organizations that are storing data at scale. As AI continues to expand and infiltrate every corner of a firm, many are a bit conscious about the technology gaining access to their confidential data. Microsoft is now making a configuration change that will allow such customers to rest easy. Right now, users within an organization have the option to apply Purview sensitivity labels (when available) to secure certain files and label them as such. For example, if you apply the "Confidential" label on an Excel file, the file will be encrypted, and a "confidential" watermark will be applied to it. So, if this file is shared with anyone, they are aware that its access is supposed to be restricted. Up until now, Microsoft was allowing some connected experiences, like its AI services, to analyze files, regardless of their sensitivity label. This is of major concern to most organizations, as a recent example highlighted how confidential emails with data loss prevention (DLP) policies like privacy labels were being uploaded to Copilot for analysis. As such, Microsoft is updating an existing Purview data label sensitivity setting that prevents "some connected experiences that analyze content", from being blocked completely from doing this. The label isn't changing, but the blocking is now being enforced across all connected services (including Copilot and other AI tools), and now extends to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Files with the label applied already will get this enhancement automatically too once it becomes available. Microsoft has urged IT admins to inform their respective helpdesk and compliance teams, update internal documentation, and review sensitivity labels to ensure that they meet their respective compliance needs. This change is tagged as MC1297982 in the Message Center. General availability is scheduled to begin in a phased manner soon and will complete by the end of next month. That said, it is important to note that this only applies to commercial customers who have a license that allows them to use Purview.
