Driver Power State Failure - MATLAB R2016a on Windows 10

I am doing my homework using MATLAB R2016a on Windows 10. I keep receiving an error saying "Driver Power State Failure," and the computer freezes and restarts over and over. I really need your help. Thank you so much!

I couldn't even downloaded. There is a problem please help us!

Are you trying to train Convulational Neural Networks (CNN) ?

I am having this same issue, any luck on fixing it?

Same here. I updated the graphic card driver but nothing has changed. I have a laptop with GeForce GTX 1060 graphics. It is strange that the issue does not seem to occur when an external display is connected to the laptop and used instead of the laptop's default screen. Any thoughts?

I have had the same issue running R2017a on Windows 10. The failure only occurs when MATLAB is running. I have updated or replaced all audio and graphics drivers with no luck.

I had the same problem on my Dell 7590 Inspiron with Windows 10 Pro (last updated 9/5/2019). For months now, sometimes when I tried to plot something simple with Matlab, my PC crashes with the "DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE" message. Recently it got worse: it Matlab crashed my PC every single time. My PC has two Display adapters: Intel® UHD Graphics 620 and NVIDIA GeForce Mx150. I updated the NVIDIA display driver and Matlab continued crashing the PC. The Intel version is "up to date"... but I noticed that the most recent version was in May 2019, about the time when my troubles began.

So I installed the previous version of the Intel UHD Graphics 620 driver, and Matlab's been working all afternoon today. So it could be a conflict between the most recent Intel display driver and Matlab.

The date format on the download page at Intel is month/day/year so the .7158 was released September 5th, not May 9th.

The previous version, .7000 is August 1 2019

Answer 1

[Walter Roberson]

You might need to update your graphics driver. (Or possibly some other driver.)

[Avicena Avicena]

If that doesn't work, try an older version of your graphics driver. I think the most recent display driver from Intel (May 2019) messed it up.
