    Hi, so i was playing battlefield and suddenly my laptop crashed to blue screen of death. restarted and went back playing after 10 mins and again bsod,

    First crash was video scheduler internal error and second crash was - driver power state failure

    googled a bit and uninstalled the 960m driver, now everytime i try installing the nvidia 960m driver the laptop crashes and goes back into that bsod loop. ( no chance of using the laptop if i dont delete 960m driver as non stop restart loop )

    Right now running the laptop on the intel 4600 graphics, laptop is working perfectly fine on this intel card but cant play games.

    Hardware issue ?

    Intel HD Graphics 4600
    Nvidia GTX 960m

    Try a clean OS install, If that doesn't help, the GPU is likely dying.
