Hello guys I own a custom gaming laptop, bought on September 2016 from PC Specialist. My rig consists of:
Intel i7 6700HQ
16 GB Ram
Nvidia GTX 1060
WD 500gb SSD
Samsung 700 HDD

I have and keep all drivers up to date and I keep getting BSOD's, the most common one being 'Driver power state failure'. This seems to happen most when i run certain software's such as Adobe Photoshop, Autodesk 3ds MAX and Solidworks. On rare occasions I also get the same BSOD even when i'm not running those programs, during web surfing. I have booted my computer in safe mode and noticed that the Generic PnP Monitor has a yellow triangle next to it in the Device Manager, and when i boot my PC to normal it doesn't. Does that have anything to do with the BSOD or is it something else, I read multiple forums and threads and most of them said it's the outdated drivers that mostly cause them, but that can't be the case since I do keep them up to date. Is this just another Win 10 problem or does my computer have a fault mechanically. I even did multiple systems scans in the cmd ( sfc /scannow ) and it determined that everything is working 100%. Please do respond cause I really cant stand this anymore...

Driver power state failure generally means a driver isn't starting after sleep or hibernate

Can you follow option one here: http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/5560-bsod-minidump-configure-create-windows-10-a.html
and then do this step below: Small memory dumps - Have Windows Create a Small Memory Dump (Minidump) on BSOD

that creates a file in c/windows/minidump
copy that file to documents
upload the copy from documents to a cloud server and share the link here and someone with right software to read them will help you fix it :)
