STOP 0x000000A0
INTERNAL_POWER_ERROR
Windows' power manager hit a fatal error — commonly hibernation-file problems or a buggy driver in the sleep/hibernate path (GPU drivers appear often).
Likely causes, most common first
- A buggy GPU or storage driver in the hibernate path
- A corrupted hibernation file
- Disk too full to hibernate
How to fix it
1. Reset hibernation and update drivers easy
- In an admin terminal run: powercfg /h off, reboot, then powercfg /h on
- Clean-install the newest GPU driver.
- Free up disk space if the system drive is nearly full.
