My system will restarts itself at random times. I have disabled the automatic
restart and was able to get a blue screen which read as follows.
A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage
to your computer.
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
If this is the first time you seen this stop error scree, restart your
computer. If this screen appears again follow these steps.
Check to make sure any new hardware of software is properly installed. If
this is a new installation ask your hardware of software manufacturer for
any Windows upgrades you might need.
If problem continues, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or
software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you
need to use safe mode, restart computer and press F8.
Technical Info:
*** STOP: 0X0000000A (OXOOOOOOO4, OXOOOOOOO2, 0X00000000, 0X804E53BC)
Beginning dump of physical memory.
Physical memory dump complete.
Contact system adminstrator of tech support for further assistance.

This error always refer to a bad Driver/Hardware installed and also been
related to memory.

Didn't this problem also occur if you had overheating equipment like
video cards? I know I had the problem with Nvidia drivers but I think
it also occurred with an ATI video card when it overheated.
