Symptoms

On a computer that is running Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows 7, you receive an error message that resembles the following when the computer enters hibernation:
STOP: 0x0000000A (parameter1, parameter2, parameter3, parameter4)

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
Then, the computer restarts automatically.

Notes
  • The parameters in the error message vary, depending on the configuration of the computer and on the kind of problem.
  • Not all "Stop 0x0000000A" error messages are caused by this problem.

Cause

This problem occurs because the Diskdump.sys driver incorrectly sets the I/O size to 0. When the system enters hibernation, the Diskdump.sys driver is responsible for writing memory contents into the Hiberfil.sys file. If the storage device that contains the Hiberfil.sys file is busy when the device receives an I/O request from the Diskdump.sys driver, the driver tries to send the I/O request later. However, the Diskdump.sys driver incorrectly sets the I/O size to 0 when it resends the I/O request. Therefore, the system accesses an invalid memory address and you receive the error message.
