CAN ANYONE HELP WITH A DIAGNOSIS OF STOP ERROR?

[MRVIG36]

HELLO ALL,
HAS ANYONE OUT THERE EXPERIENCED A STOP ERROR THAT LOOKS LIKE THIS:
0X0000000A(0X00000004,0X00000002,0X00000000,0X804E97AF)

I had been experiencing random boot up problems which I thought were
rectifed by simply running chkdsk and correcting some errors.
Apparently, this was not so. I am again, experiencing random boot up
problems and showing the above stop error which includes:
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL.

I am using WINDOWS XP HOME EDITION.

Thanks!

See that:
0x0000000A: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
(Click to consult the online Win XP Resource Kit article, or see Windows
2000 Professional Resource Kit, p. 1539.)
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.)
