Fix: Stop Error Message 0x0000000A on a blue screen on Windows 7

Speed Up My PC

If you have a computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2; and if occasionally, the computer crashes after it runs for some time, with a Stop error message on a blue screen, then you may want to apply this hotfix from Microsoft.

hotfix icon Fix: Stop Error Message 0x0000000A on a blue screen on Windows 7

The Stop error message resembles the following:

STOP: 0x0000000A (parameter1, parameter2, parameter3, parameter4) IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

This issue occurs because Power Manager opens an Advanced local procedure call (ALPC) port. However, Power Manager closes another port instead of closing the ALPC port.

Every time that a power request is made, a memory leak occurs. When the leaked memory usage accumulates to a certain level, the computer crashes.

    I have just encountered this BSOD while copying files in homegroup. That came as a bonus on the top of ultra slow file transfer over homegroup between two win 7 laptops.
    I think it’s time to contact local computer service, they seem to have an answer to every computer related issue.
