I swear to god this computer has been the biggest pain in my ass as any device I have ever owned.
The power blinked off for 6 seconds because the wind was blowing this morning, and my Linux computer appears to be fucked. I can’t even get a response from the motherboard.
I want to fucking scream
(Pinging nostr:npub1utx00neqgqln72j22kej3ux7803c2k986henvvha4thuwfkper4s7r50e8 who is the only one who understands the deep and furious pain of this project)
ChatGPT says this:
The error “Unable to change power state from D3hot to D0, device inaccessible” typically points to a power management or driver issue, often seen in PCIe devices (like NVMe SSDs, Wi-Fi cards, or GPUs). Here are some troubleshooting steps:
1. Identify the Device
• Check your system logs (Event Viewer on Windows, dmesg or journalctl on Linux) to see which device is causing the issue.
• Run:
• Windows: pnputil /enum-devices
• Linux: lspci -vvv or dmesg | grep -i D3hot
2. Check for Power Management Issues
• Windows:
• Open Device Manager, find the affected device, go to Properties → Power Management, and uncheck “Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power”.
• Disable Selective Suspend for USB devices (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\USB\DisableSelectiveSuspend = 1 in regedit).
• Set PCIe Link State Power Management to “Off” in Power Settings.
• Linux:
• Disable runtime power management:
echo on | sudo tee /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:xx:xx.x/power/control
Replace 0000:xx:xx.x with the correct PCI device ID.
• Try booting with:
pci=noaer
in your kernel boot parameters.
3. Update or Reinstall Drivers
• Windows:
• Try rolling back or updating drivers in Device Manager.
• Use sfc /scannow and DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth to check for corrupted system files.
• Linux:
• Check if proprietary drivers (e.g., NVIDIA, AMD, Intel) need an update.
• Run sudo dmesg | grep -i firmware to check for missing firmware files.
4. Check BIOS/UEFI Settings
• Update your BIOS firmware.
• Check if ASP (Active State Power Management) or PCIe Power Management settings are enabled/disabled in BIOS.
• Try disabling “PCIe ASPM” in BIOS if it’s enabled.
5. Verify Hardware & Connections
• If this is related to an NVMe SSD, GPU, or another PCIe device, reseat it.
• Try a different PCIe slot (if applicable).
• If this happens after a system sleep or hibernation, try a full shutdown (shutdown /s /t 0 in Windows) and power back on.

This literally occurs before I can even access BIOS. I appreciate posting the ChatGPT suggestions but all of these inaccessible options
Flash bios only thing I can think of
Isn't being a nerd fun
Could be just grub that needs rebuilding (if that is indeed Linux box)
Take your ssd out and see if you can boot on another system. If you have a USB to SATA gizmo this might be helpful. Linux is good for booting in different places when one system is dead.
ChatGPT can be silly sometimes 🤣
Try booting off a (mint, Ubuntu) Linux live cd/usb.
That message looks like kernel messages, which occurs after bios.
maybe reset your CMOS battery? I see this happens before you even get to the bios but maybe worth it a shot and see if it defaults everything for you. Take it out, wait a few minutes, press the reset button if you got one, and then reinstall
Your PSU has managed to kill your SSD, or your PSU died
Actually it might be your SATA controller
That looks maddening! Can you get to Grub at least?
Those are PCI states
😭😭 If only my entire setup wasn’t in constant shifting mode and I wasn’t crammed into the back corner of a room full of storage because my shit contractor has spent 9 months and still doesn’t even have Sheetrock on the walls in the basement…
What kind of computer is it?
Custom built Linux
AORUS motherboard
Nvidia 3090 GPU
Intel CPU
Looks like a laptop.
1. hold power button down for 30s, then try again.
2a. Unplug and remove battery, then hold power button down for 10s and try again.
2b. If you can't remove the battery, look for a reset pin-hole on the sides or bottom. Insert paperclip and hold 10s. If you don't see one or can't find it check the manual.
Not a laptop, it’s a custom built desktop machine (that’s just my monitor). I’ve unplugged and let hardware state reset and done all the obvious steps like this.
Yeh, guess a power outage probably wouldn't shut down a laptop.
Try holding
There is a line that starts with 'linux' followed by some options. Add a space and "pci_aspm=off" to the end of that line, then press
If you get into the menu, but neither of those help, try going to "advanced options" then selecting an older kernel version or the recovery mode, if you're comfortable on the command line.
This can be caused by a bad upupdate, so if you system boots, go ahead and install any pending updates.
