OK, what you'll actually want to do is get a pen and paper and write down the exact message you receive, as it appears to you.

Okay, It happened again, lol..(not funny tho)

here's the COMPLETE MSG, lol...

A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your PC.

IRAL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

If this is the first time you have seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. If this is a new install, ask your hardware or software manufacturer for any windows updates you might need.

If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory option such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart your PC, press F8 to select advanced startup options, and then select safe mode.

Technical Information:

*** Stop 0x0000000A (0xF6C2A000, 0x00000002, 0x00000001, 0x804FEDDA)

Beginning dump of physical memory.
Physical memory dump complete.

Contact your system administrator or technical support group for further assistance.

Have you recently installed any new hardware/drivers that you can remember? If so, please try removing/uninstalling and let me know how it goes.

OK, well then we'll have to do some debugging. Go to Start | Run, type minidump, and press Enter. If there are any files in this directory, please upload them (or the most recent set only) as attachments to your next post. You may need to zip the files before uploading them.

Regards,

Ax

Upon debugging, I found that one of the files references a Lexmark X73 driver component. If you have this printer/driver installed, could you uninstall it and let me know if you still have the issue?

Thanks,

Ax

Yes you should be able to, but let's first try running your computer for a little while without the printer and printer drivers. Make sure to unplug the printer after uninstalling it or Windows might try to find drivers for it again.

Alright, now just do what you normally do on your computer and let me know if you get another shutdown. If it doesn't shutdown in the time frame it normally would, then we know the issue is with the printer driver.
