error 0x0a

The error 0x0a, also known as Stop Error 0x0000000A or IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, is a Windows stop error that can occur in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. Based on available discussions, this error may appear when attempting to put the computer into hibernation (S4 state) or when there is a request to allocate a large amount of contiguous physical memory. The error indicates that a kernel-mode process attempted to access a memory address at an inappropriate interrupt request level (IRQL). Microsoft has released fixes for these specific scenarios, which are documented in support articles. Users encountering this error should review system memory configurations and check for applicable updates.
