this problem.

**********************************************************
Bug Check 0xA: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
The IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL bug check has a value of 0x0000000A. This
indicates that Windows or a kernel-mode driver accessed paged memory at
DISPATCH_LEVEL or above.
Parameters
The following parameters are displayed on the blue screen.
Parameter Description
1 Memory referenced
2 IRQL at time of reference
3 0: Read
1: Write
4 Address which referenced memory
Cause
This bug check is issued if paged memory (or invalid memory) is accessed
when the IRQL is too high.
The error that generates this bug check usually occurs after the
installation of a faulty device driver, system service, or BIOS.
If you encounter bug check 0xA while upgrading to a later version of
Microsoft® Windows®, this error might be caused by a device driver, a system
service, a virus scanner, or a backup tool that is incompatible with the new
version.
Resolving the Problem
If a kernel debugger is available, obtain a stack trace.
To resolve an error caused by a faulty device driver, system service, or BIOS
Restart your computer.
Press F8 at the character-based menu that displays the operating system
choices.
Select the Last Known Good Configuration option from the Windows Advanced
Options menu. This option is most effective when only one driver or service
is added at a time.
To resolve an error caused by an incompatible device driver, system service,
virus scanner, or backup tool
Check the System Log in Event Viewer for error messages that might identify
the device or driver that caused the error.
Try disabling memory caching of the BIOS.
Run the hardware diagnostics supplied by the system manufacturer, especially
the memory scanner. For details on these procedures, see the owner's manual
for your computer.
Make sure the latest Service Pack is installed.
If your system has small computer system interface (SCSI) adapters, contact
the adapter manufacturer to obtain updated Windows drivers. Try disabling
sync negotiation in the SCSI BIOS, checking the cabling and the SCSI IDs of
each device, and confirming proper termination.
For integrated device electronics (IDE) devices, define the onboard IDE port
as Primary only. Also, check each IDE device for the proper
master/slave/stand-alone setting. Try removing all IDE devices except for
hard disks.
If the message appears during an installation of Windows, make sure that the
computer and all installed peripherals are listed on the Microsoft Windows
Hardware Compatibility List (HCL).
