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

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
    • Calling GTA 6 overhyped crap doesn’t make you edgy, it just makes you sound like someone who hasn’t enjoyed anything since the PS2 era.
    • I’m not arguing whether Rockstar likes money. Obviously, they do, they’re a business. I’m saying this isn’t new. They’ve always launched console first. This is just how Rockstar operates.
    • I'm not sure how old the school is, but they've been doing this since GTA 3. Back in those days we'd be lucky for game companies to release on the PC at all. And with the current state of Sony (or Microsoft) their gaming wing won't be getting a penny from me.
