Driver Power state failure

[TobyHauss]

I have a Gateway q5wtc. Every time i turn it on it goes to the gateway screen for several minutes then the blue screen of death shows up saying theres a DRIVER POWER DRIVE FAILURE and it restarts but then it gets stuck on the gateway screen again with no loading circle and just stays there...i have no idea what to do.

More detail needed.
Is it the 64 bit version of Windows 7?
Have you tried Gateway support?
What is the exact message?
Is it this?
DRIVER STATE POWER FAILURE
The Microsoft website says this has something to do whit the
Symantec Endpoint Protection drive.
Does that apply?

Because this appears to be an issue with a driver, possiby after an update;

Access the Windows Advanced Boot Menu by tapping F8 repeatedly after the initial BIOS splashscreen disappears. If you see the Windows loading screen it is too late, start over.
When you get to the menu, use the arrow keys on the keyboard to select "Last Known Good Configuration" and press enter.

Windows should now attempt to load, if it loads successfully then shutdown the machine (this sets the last good config to the current config) and boot again.
