Driver Power State Failure

Hello,

I have a <1 month old Surface Pro and for the last few days it's been crashing while sleeping. For some reason WhoCrashed only sees the event that occurred overnight, although a similar crash happened a couple days ago. The WhoCrashed report is below. Does anyone have any suggestions to troubleshoot?

This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem.
The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver that cannot be identified at this time.

Hi, welcome to the forum.

A few questions. Is your machine a Surface Pro, or a Surface Pro 3?

Does it happen when it's plugged into power, on battery, or both?

Have you tried refreshing, or restoring, your Surface?

Please let us know!
