This began suddenly about two weeks ago and has continued ever since.
I get the usual Driver_State_Power_Failure message I have seen here.

Sorry to be such a baby-stepper on this, but when I attempt to upload a dump file, I get and invalid format error, and SF Diagnostics tool will not work for me either.

This computer worked wonderfully for 6th months and now it's a complete pain.

We need the reports. Try uploading them to a free file-hosting site and posting a link to them here.

For starters:
At work we start all repairs with a set of diagnostics. Often they find problems that weren't even expected. It's a waste of time to try to fix software on a system that has hardware problems.
Please try these free diagnostics for starters: Initial Hardware Diagnostics
Also, please ensure that you have ALL available Windows Updates (it may take several trips to get them all).

The malware scans are the most important ones IMO, so please start with them.

I believe this computer is still under warranty, and I intend to pursue that avenue as well. I will share if I learn anything.
Malware was checked for by Comodo.
All device manager listed drivers were updated by Comodo "Geekbuddy."
Thanks for your attention to this. I really don't want to buy a mac.
