It's a recently installed driver problem Drivers can be either dll or sys. Can you boot into Safe Mode?

This is what says that, "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL."

Yes I can boot into Safe Mode. I have not installed any drivers recently. I
have noticed that I keep getting a window saying that windows has found a
"new" hardware (printer and wants to install a driver that is not certified
by Microsoft. This is strange, because the driver for our HP Deskjet 1220c/ps
is certified by Microsoft, and we have re-installed it. But we still get the
"new" hardware (printer) window every time we boot.

Go into device manager and uninstall the drivers for the printer. Do no rebooting and do not follow through with
any add new hardware wizard. Try to reinstall the printer drivers. But when asked say you want to install afresh.
Do not use the drivers that are already on the system. You may have to do this in Safe Mode but I'd prefer you
did it in normal mode; but if Safe Mode is all you have then that's where you'll have to do it.

But try to think carefully about anything new that may have been installed. You can look in:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services

with regedit (Start | Run | regedit | OK) and try to identify anything unusual there. But be careful a lot that is in
there looks unusual but is necessary. Sometimes though, the unusual thing can really stand out (like Dingbat's
Improved Hasselling driver - you don't want that). And remove that from below the Services key. Save it first
though.

Since you can boot in Safe Mode and since not all the keys in here are loaded when you (many more are in
Normal Mode) boot in Safe Mode it's (IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL) in there you just got to find it.
