Why Does My Laptop Bluescreen After Hibernation?

Asked By GamerNerd21 On

I've been dealing with persistent blue screens on my ASUS TUF Gaming F16 laptop, specifically with the stop code VIDEO_MEMORY_MANAGEMENT_INTERNAL (0x10E). I'm running Windows 11, and these BSODs happen randomly, especially after waking from hibernation. I also suspect that connecting a driverless microphone might have triggered this issue. I've checked the Event Viewer and noticed Kernel-Power 41 events.

So far, I've tried a clean driver reinstall using DDU, installed various NVIDIA driver versions (both Studio and Game Ready), disabled sleep and fast startup, and ran Windows Memory Diagnostic which found no errors.

I've collected minidump files here: [minidump.zip](https://www.mediafire.com/file/ctws5iidimzoaaz/minidump.zip/file). I would really appreciate any assistance!

From what I've seen in the dump files, the problems seem tied to your GPU, but if everything else is fine, it might be an issue with Windows' hibernation feature. When your laptop hibernates, it saves the memory state to disk and loads it again upon startup. Storage issues could potentially cause errors like this, although it’s strange they’re only impacting GPU performance. You might want to consider avoiding hibernation altogether as a temporary fix, just to see if that prevents the bluescreens.

To effectively diagnose the BSOD you're facing, we need those dump files. They're essentially crash logs that can pinpoint the issue. If you can boot into Windows normally or via Safe Mode, check for dump files in C:WindowsMinidump. Zip any found files and upload them to a file sharing site that works, like mediafire or catbox.moe. If you only have one, follow this guide to adjust the dump type to a Small Memory Dump too. That will help us get a clearer picture!

I had a similar experience before! Windows can struggle with coming out of hibernation, making it feel like it's in a coma. I personally stopped using hibernation and my issues vanished. It seems to be more of a Windows quirk than anything else. Might be worth trying that as a workaround while you look for a long-term solution!
