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

How to fix it

1. Reset hibernation and update drivers easy

  1. In an admin terminal run: powercfg /h off, reboot, then powercfg /h on
  2. Clean-install the newest GPU driver.
  3. Free up disk space if the system drive is nearly full.
