What could be causing the DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE ntoskrnl.exe error on Windows 11 when playing specific games?


I have a system with the following specifications:



CPU: AMD 7950x3d


RAM: 64gb ddr5 6000


GPU: AMD 7900xtx


Motherboard: NZXT b650e


PSU: EVGA 1300w gold


SSD: inland performance plus 2tb and 4tb


OS: windows 11 pro


The system runs fine with most games, but it crashes with a DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE ntoskrnl.exe error when playing Counter Strike 2 or Hell Divers 2. The crash happens randomly, usually after 30-45 minutes of gameplay. The screen freezes and the audio continues for a while before stopping. This problem started when Counter Strike 2 was released, then stopped for two months, and then resumed recently.


I
have tried updating the drivers, checking the power settings, and running a system scan, but nothing seems to fix the issue. Do you have any suggestions on how to troubleshoot and resolve this error?
