I'll explain what happened today.
I was on my laptop, and I recently downloaded Mozilla Firefox 3.6 because I heard the quality was better compared to Internet Explorer.
Here's how the problem started: When I pressed save on MS paint, this error message with the X in a red circle showed up, and then the entire screen suddenly blacked out a second later, and I was unable to read the whole message before the black-out. There was no power black-out; the lights were still on when it blacked out. The laptop was still running; it didn't instantly shut down by itself.
Having turned off the laptop and turning it on again, for a few seconds I thought the problem was solved...until the BSOD showed up. I tried going for safe mode but there was no help.
I will now give out the info regarding this problem. The screen of death said something about 'DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL'.

Contact your system admin or technical support group for further assistance.
Sometimes, Safe Mode does work, but then randomly the BSOD shows up again. I have no idea how to solve this and I have been frantically finding a solution. Anyone familiar with this problem? Thanks.
