Random BSOD Bugcheck code: 0xA0 (0x1, 0x6, 0xFFFFFA800835ACF0, 0x0)

[unally]

Hi everybody, this is my first post here and I don't know a whole lot this kind of stuff just as an FYI. Anyways, 2 months ago I had a customized rig put together by a computer shop and it was fine up until about a week ago. At first it started stuttering at random times, everything would get really choppy, sometimes the audio would completely cut out and the only thing I could do was using the mouse (nothing I clicked on would respond). A quick restart would fix it but lately the computer has been crashing about once a day. The last 2 crashes have happened when it was not even in use (I usually leave the computer on 24/7, so I would come back and my computer would either be completely shut off or at the log in screen for windows). I have run different diagnostic tools but I don't know how to interpret any of it. Ive attached the SF debug tool in hopes someone here could help me.

Computer specs:
Intel i5-4670K 3.4GHz
8GB ram
Windows 7 64 bit

If you need any other info from me please let me know. Thanks.

Hi unally.

The issue is: The system has failed to allocate a necessary power IRP.

Some results I am obtaining from the dump that I am not aware of. Like .....

IoStatus.Status = 00002044: The preset referral limit was exceeded.

Still, if it is a desktop computer (it seems to be, from the original post), disable hibernate.

If still the situation is the same, change the mouse.

If it is still the same, get the PSU replaced.

Let us know the results.

Thanks for the reply. I have disabled hibernate even though I don't use it (unless sleep is the same thing). Is there anyway to test the psu before replacing it?

Also, how would my mouse contribute to power issues?

There are ways, but those are risky.

   Warning

This could damage your PSU if done incorrectly, and poses an electrical shock risk. Always take the appropriate cautions when working with electrical parts. The PSU EVEN WHEN TURNED OFF has enough power to SEVERELY INJURE OR KILL YOU.

The mouse does not contribute in power supply, but like all other PnP devices it also contributes a great role in the states of power transition like hibernation or sleep to wake up.
