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

    • I bought this game. Played it for an hour, and then got a refund from Steam. Not a fun game at all.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.
