0x0000000A: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
(Click to consult the online MSDN article.)
Typically due to a bad driver, or faulty or incompatible hardware or software. Use
the General Troubleshooting of STOP Messages checklist above. Technically, this
error condition means that a kernel-mode process or driver tried to access a memory
location to which it did not have permission, or at a kernel Interrupt ReQuest Level
(IRQL) that was too high. (A kernel-mode process can access only other processes
that have an IRQL lower than, or equal to, its own.)
