Windows 10: Stop Code: INTERNAL POWER ERROR

I started getting this BSOD occasionally a day or two ago. It only happens when the PC goes to sleep. The PC works fine on restart.

internal power error

Hi,


Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

We understand how you feel about the situation. We're sorry for the trouble.

I would suggest you to follow the method given below and check if it helps.



Method 1:

Run the power troubleshooter and restart the system to check if that helps.

Windows 10 has a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with power. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter to check if the issue is with your Power.

Refer these steps:

• Press Windows key +X, select Control panel.
• Change the view by option on the top right to
  Large icons.
• Click on troubleshooting and click on the
  view all option on the left panel.
• Run the Power troubleshooter

If the issues persist I would suggest you to follow the second method.

Method 2: Create a new power plan.

• 
  Go to search box.
  
• 
  Type power option in search box.
  
• 
  Tap or click Create a power plan and follow the instructions.
  

Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.

Frequent and random appearing BSOD 'internal power error'.


Update:
I did steps 6 and 7:

BIOS reset. I choose the 'optimized defaults':







And then I did steps 8 through 11.

Next step is the memtest86+. I created a bootable DVD, and tested if it works. (It does.) I plan these memory-tests the coming nights.
However, I can't see how I can test every SDRAM module separately. How do I do that?

(NB: After closing my game yesterday, I got the first BSOD in weeks, with a (new) message: "reference by pointer".)
