So, I'm getting a BSOD ... on my brand new freaking laptop. It's just a little frustrating. I can obviously boot up, but it takes at *least* two tries. I thought I found the solution in a Symantic upgrade, but nope -- same BSOD error message.
I'm getting IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (which I'm pretty sure is a hardware error, which isn't good, right?).
It's a STOP: 0x0000000A (0x00000000, 0x0000001B, 0x00000000, 0x81C28928)
I've been lurking around on some geeky forums and I've heard it might be bad RAM? But there's gotta be *some* way to fix it if I can get windows up and running, eventually. It's not even a huge issue. Everything runs fine, it's just a pain to take 5-10 minutes to start up.
I'm operating on Windows Vista Home Premium, if that helps at all. I'm sure that could be the root of the problem -- serves me right for getting a computer with a Vista OS... not that there were any other choices at Best Buy. OMG LOOK AT THIS WONDERFUL NEW OS THAT THEY HAVENT QUITE GOT ALL THE KINKS OUT OF YET!
Any help would be sooo soooo sooo appriciated.
