Hello all, I find my computer crashing when I do certain things. First, when using dvd-rebuilder, and I now find the same error message (0x0000000A, plus the same "arguments")when I tried playing a few games ( such as rome: total war).

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (a)
An attempt was made to access a pageable (or completely invalid) address at an
interrupt request level (IRQL) that is too high. This is usually
caused by drivers using improper addresses.
If a kernel debugger is available get the stack backtrace.
Arguments:
Arg1: d78a6eb0, memory referenced
Arg2: 00000002, IRQL
Arg3: 00000001, value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation
Arg4: 804ff1c3, address which referenced memory

I do not know how to interpret the error dumps and need some help. I looked at the msft site, but had a hard time understanding everything.Here are some system specs.

Here is the text of the first dump I tried, after dvd-rebuilder crashed :

Here is after rome crashed :

If anyone can shed some light on these or offer a solution, I would be most grateful. These errors do not happen in normal usage, or with other disk heavy activities such as torrenting or newsgroups.
 
I ran memtest for 8 hours and nothing showed up. If the 0xA bug means that a driver is responsible, I don't see a driver named in the dumps. I do see ntkrnlpa.exe, which would seem to be really bad. In any case, I do not seem to have a general system instability (yet); these bugs showed up in those specific cases (so far). If it's buggy drivers, that is just about any pci card these days. Is there anyone who can read these and let me know what they're saying?
