Blue Screen, smiling at me... nothing but Blue Screen, do I see
Help! BSOD!! My laptop started giving me the blue screen of death yesterday and just won't quit. I haven't installed any new hardware lately, so I'm not sure what the problem could be. It says: "IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL"
STOP: 0x0000000A (0xFF1701FO, Ox00000002, 0x00000000, 0x804D9B64). Disable BIOS Memory options such as caching or shadowing."
I tried Last Known Good Configuration and it still gave me the BSOD, I rebooted in Safe Mode and did not get the BSOD. But when I boot normally, I get it every time within 10 minutes of booting up. A previous thread recommended reseating the memory, but that didn't help. I uninstalled the last two programs I installed (over 2 weeks ago), but no good.
I checked the minidump folder, there's nothing there less than a year old.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Adjust your power setting so that the OS does NOT turn off HDD/Display or put the system to sleep. Also, make sure you have all the current device drivers for all devices installed (graphics, network, display).
