Blue Screen of Death

[Guest]

I am periodically getting a BSOD. I don't know when it happens because I am
usually gone when it happens.
The screen says
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
Stop: 0x0000000A(0x00000008, 0,0000001C, 0x00000000, 0x804E68BB)
I have read some articles but don't really understand what I should do about
it. I have not installed any hardware, except a hp printer that I
uninstalled the software and reinstalled.
Please help!
Thanks

This condition can be the result of a hardware problem so that is what I
would try to rule out/confirm first. Open the case and make sure all fans
are working properly. If they are not working or the case is filthy,
replace the fan and clean the case. If they are working, try placing a
household fan next to the case and blow air into it. If the error notice
quits, you need more cooling. If the error notice continues, check the ram.
You can find software ram checkers using google.com
