Blue Screen after Switching Off PC

My HP, Core i5 Intel PC. Last night when trying to shut it down, it was just showing 'Shutting Down' all the time without completing. I had to switch it off manually, and then when I restarted it, I had a Blue Screen telling me "A problem has been detected .....Driver..Power...State...Failure". This was followed by lots of digits ...... and other things to do, but again I had to switch the PC off before I could send this post to the Forum. The PC is obviously working at this moment, but I have never experienced this before, and wonder why it happened, and what is a cure, if any? All of my AV software is up-to-date, as is Adobe etc. geedad

onthelimit1 Thank you. I am reluctant to dive into the inside of my PC, mainly because I am too lazy to clear a path through the complex array of peripheral wires I have installed over the past year! Having highlighted the file/s that are responsible for the problem, can they not be removed or refreshed (or whatever the term is!)? The printout that I did, clearly shows the culprit as being the driver exe ntoskrnl.exe and the associated exe file address ntoskrnl.exe+7cc40. Also, the File Description shows that it is NT Kernel & System.

Thanks again geedad
