    Internal Power Error Unexpected shutdown when sleeping: The power policy manager experienced a fatal error :( - Ugh!

    Hi,

    The INTERNAL_POWER_ERROR bug check has a value of 0x000000A0. This bug check indicates that the power policy manager experienced a fatal error. I suggest you to try the steps in the following Microsoft MSDN article and check if it works for you.

    Bug Check 0xA0 INTERNAL_POWER_ERROR - Windows drivers | Microsoft Docs

    Please feel free to visit our website for any help with Windows Operating System.

    Unexpected shutdown

    Hi Wilfredo, I followed what the webpage you suggested said. The Display Adapter drivers are up to date, I did check this, the fast startup and the power settings before making this thread. It seemed like the PC shut down whenever it went to sleep mode,
    so I disabled sleep mode.

    I will get back to you if disabling sleep mode didn't fix the unexpected shutdowns (although I don't really think it will) for more solutions.

    Thank you for your time.

    Unexpected Shutdown

    Hi

    Please see response to your questions below

    • Did you make any changes on the computer prior to this issue?
    No changes other than about a month ago reinstalling W10.

    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?
    Other than checking updates have successfully installed, none as not sure approach to take.

    • What was the exact error code/message you have received?
    No error code or message received. On the first occasion I was looking at outlook and without any warning the PC shutdown. It was almost as if it was a desktop (it is a laptop) and the power stopped. The laptop was plugged into the mains and in addition
    the battery had a full a full charge.

    On restarting the laptop no error message came up and I only noted a small difference in boot up, that for a short period a blue screen was displayed (not normally seen on boot up) and then the start screen appeared for me to log in.

    As mentioned previously the only reference to this is from the log which in the summary states that there was an unexpected shutdown.
