BSOD Driver Power state failure. HELP!!!
This is the first time this happened when i was trying to wake my computer from sleep. I have been getting random BSOD for other codes as well. Such as kmode exception not handled and another one i thing i fixed due to the voltage with my cpu from the overclock I have an 17 4770k oced to 4.2 with boost up to 4.3. Any help would be greatly appriciated. I havent seen the kmode BSOD code lately and it doesnt crash often. When i stress test it runs stable with a max temp of 65c

Are you sure your PSU can handle the overclock?

65c seems awfully low for an overclocked 4770K during stress testing. What type of CPU cooling solution are you using and what stress testing software? And could you clarify what you mean by "another one i thing i fixed due to the voltage with my cpu from the overclock"?

The first steps for troubleshooting a BSoD would be to remove the overclock on the system, and run MemTest overnight at the least, but preferably for 24 hours.

If the RAM checks out, next you would boot into safe mode and attempt to replicate the problem. If the BSoD does not occur in safe mode, then boot normally, reproduce the BSoD and use BlueScreenView to discover whether a system driver, or third-party hardware driver is causing the problem.

With the limited info my guess is

the easy solution would be to turn off the powersaving features in Bios (C/G/S/P states,speedstep, EIST).
Historically disabling sleep states was a mandatory first step before attempting any overclock.
i would turn them all off retest then turn them on one at a time to find witch state is causing problem.
If your Bios allows you might try Ocing you sleep states to be compatible with your OC( maybe called "CPU Features" or"Adaptive Mode").
or use offset voltage to keep your sleep states stable with OC.
Kmode and driver crash hint at P state but the blue screen only tells what it was doing when it crash (not why it crashed)and your almost always using drivers.

And that 65 temp is suspiciously cold for stress test

what i ment by saying "another one i thing i fixed due to the voltage with my cpu from the overclock" was that i left voltage on auto for the overclock. I then went back to the bios and changed it to adaptive instead. I managed to fix it by going back to auto. I know 65c is kind of low. Currently i am using a h80i for my heat sync. I had it up to 4.5 but the temps were getting in the 80's i also down clocked my ram from 2400 to 1866 to lower temps. I dont want things running really hot when i am rendering video. For my stress test i am using prime 95. I actually havent had my computer crash since i posted this. So i guess it was just a rare occasion. Ill investigate further. I know my power supply has enough juice to handle the over clock as i have an ax1200i. Thanks for all the help ill look into some of those reasons. Im not sure how i would re create the BSOD and i havent booted into safe mode since it re booted no problem.
