HELP!!! Computer gone crazy

[Guest]

My computer has gone crazy. It restarts by itself and I don't know what to do. Supposely it is a device driver, but it does not tells me anything else. Please someone help me fast.

Hi,

Two ways to approach this:

1) Start/run eventvwr.msc and see if the system and application logs hold
any clues.

2) Disable the autorestart on system failure behavior. Doing this will cause
the system to produce a "stop" error (better known as a blue screen) that
contains an error message that can be researched. To do this, go to the
control panel/system/advanced/startup and recovery settings, uncheck the
line near the bottom in recovery options to restart on system failure.

Hey! I got the sreen of death (after disabling "restart automatically") and it gave me this error:

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
***STOP: 0X000000D1 (0X8A3AD661, 0X00000002, 0X00000000, 0X8A3AD661)

What should I do now? Thanks for all your help
