My Surface Pro 3/Windows 10 got a driver power state failure upon wakeup -- now will not boot beyond. What do I do?

[Windows Central Question]

Was upgraded from 8.x a few weeks ago before I got it, and since I have put files on it, installed a few apps, installed Office 2007 home/student, itunes, and a few other things. Put it in sleep mode last night by pushing the power button and closing it up. When I pushed the button again this morning, it stayed on the "Surface" logo for a long time, then told me it got a "driver_power_state_failure" error and needed to be restarted. Now it will not restart past that "Surface" logo. How can I either recover it, or boot it in safe mode, so I can fix this? And what do I do to fix it? Please help.

I'm having the same issue this morning and haven't recovered yet. If you have any recommendations please let me know.

You'll have try to boot into "safemode"
3 Ways to Boot Windows 10 Into Safe mode

Sadly I think they took out the old way of pressing F8

But I think you'll have to make a bootable W10 USB drive, then insert the USB then follow the following steps from:

You'll then want to backup your data once in SafeMode ASAP. After that you can try a "Refresh", if that doesn't work, you'll have to do a "Reset" back to factory, and re-install your apps, programs, data.

I ran into this a couple of days ago, when I forced my SP3 to use the new SP4 pen. The only way I got out was to start all over with a fresh install
