Not sure if this is the right fix? We've added this issue to our memory dump diagnostic which can confirm.

Symptoms

You have a computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2. Occasionally, the computer crashes after it runs for some time. Additionally, you receive a Stop error message on a blue screen. The Stop error message resembles the following:

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

Notes

  • The four parameters in the Stop error message may vary, depending on the configuration of the computer.

  • Not all the "STOP: 0x0000000A" error messages are caused by this issue.

Cause

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.
