Question BSOD living up to it's name/acronym!! ARGHH!!!
I am pretty familiar with seeing BSOD as I run very heavy graphics on my desktops and here lately on my laptop(s), but the message I am getting on THIS particular laptop is one I haven't seen before and am losing my mind over.

I bought this Dell C640 to use as a show computer (I run mobile DJ/Karaoke Entertainment business). The other day we had a power outage at a show and I immediately bluescreened. Strange considering what normally happens when I unplug the power supply from the current (essentially what happened with the power failure), it just goes over to batteries and keeps on truckin'. The other night, however, it went BSOD. I thought.. SURGE? But running on a VERY reliable power conditioner/surge protector that is built into my rack case for my pro audio gear (this power center protects about 15,000 bucks worth of Pro-Audio daily). When I rebooted, all seemed fine. About an hour later, I went to move the laptop to another table and when I unplugged the power...BAM!! BSOD again. Same one... IRQ_NOT LESS_OR EQUAL or something like that. I rebooted, and then tried pulling the power cable out again.. no BSOD.. then, when I plugged it back in.. BAM!!! got hit again.

The only thing I added to this (other than updating all the drivers to current from Dell.com) is a Dell Truemobile WLAN card. It works fine with no connection issues, so I kinda figured that wasn't it.

Anyway... my last four BSOD minidumps are attached (if I can figure out how).
Ahhhh.... the PAPERCLIP!! lol. Ok.. someone help please?
