Got an old Dell tower with windows 10 (latest 1809 build, fresh install) and getting this error
driver power state failure
and then it reboots. Strangely enough it seems to behave itself after the restart, but get the same problem again next time from a cold boot. Have disabled power saving options linked with the gfx card/pci-e slot (after a bit of research), but to no avail. Graphics card is a GT 630 and Nvidia driver wouldn't install, after going through a manual selection on their site. It did successfully update to a 'working' version from device manager > 'update driver', and appears to be an Nvidia one anyway. Just wondering what else to try and if anyone else has had that pattern of it working after a restart.
