40 q-code

I recently started having some weird issues with my pc. I'm getting bsod's on start up, usually twice with different stop codes. but instead of getting the A0 q-code im getting "40." I'm not entirely sure it's hardware related, i know windows updated recently which might be the cause. What's the 40 mean, is it the waking from sleep or is it something else? specs below.

Yes....40 is wake from S4 sleep...BSOD from this might be unstable RAM

Either way Windows might have re-activated fast startup in windows power menus

any reason why it would say that when its being powered on from being turned off completely?
