This is a common issue from a particular BIOS vendor, the _SRS (Set Resource Settings) optional control takes a byte stream argument that specifies a new resource allocation for a device. The resource descriptors in the byte stream argument must be specified exactly as listed by _CRS.  However, in this case _SRS has been passed a byte stream that is too short and attempted to access bytes outside the buffer causing this error. This is a firmware bug that needs to be fixed.",
