That is a ASUS system driver.

You need to go to the website and download any updates that are available for the driver.

Matter of fact while you are visiting the site you might want to make sure all your ASUS drivers are up to date.

I use the last version of Photoshop cc 2017

i have windows 8.1 64 bit

Error when i use photshop : blu screen with driver_power_state_failure

The blu screen appears while i start to work with photoshop, when i use some havier function.

I have 2 graphic card : intel hd graphics 4600 , Nvidia Geforce gtx 950 m (GPU Boost 2.0)

i Don't know why the default graphic card is intel, i try with both using photoshop, but in both cases appears the blue screen.

Photoshop has problems on machine the has more than one type of GPU. See if you can use the Nvidia Control Panel to set your Geforce as the preferred GPU for Photoshop.  That control panel has settings like that for machines the have multiple GPU.
