Error Message:
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
Explanation:
This Stop message indicates that a kernel-mode process or driver attempted to access a memory address to which it did not have permission to access. The most common cause of this error is an incorrect or corrupted pointer that references an incorrect location in memory. A pointer is a variable used by a program to refer to a block of memory. If the variable has an incorrect value in it, the program tries to access memory that it should not. When this occurs in a user-mode application, it generates an access violation. When it occurs in kernel mode, it generates a STOP 0x0000000A message. If you encounter this error while upgrading to a newer version of Windows, it might be caused by a device driver, a system service, a virus scanner, or a backup tool that is incompatible with the new version.
User Action:
This error usually occurs after the installation of a buggy device driver, system service, or BIOS. To resolve it quickly, restart your computer, and press F8 at the character-mode menu that displays the operating system choices. At the resulting Windows 2000 Advanced Options menu, choose the Last Known Good Configuration option. This option is most effective when only one driver or service is added at a time. If you encounter this error while upgrading from Windows NT 4.0 or earlier, it might be caused by a device driver, a system service, a virus scanner, or a backup tool that is incompatible with the new version. If possible, remove all third-party device drivers and system services and disable any virus scanners prior to upgrading. Contact the software manufacturers to obtain updates of these tools. For additional error messages that might help pinpoint the device or driver that is causing the error, check the System Log in Event Viewer. Disabling memory caching of the BIOS might also resolve this error. You should also run hardware diagnostics supplied by the system manufacturer, especially the memory scanner. For details on these procedures, see the owners manual for your computer. If your system has small computer system interface (SCSI) adapters, contact the adapter manufacturer to obtain updated Windows 2000 drivers. Disable sync negotiation in the SCSI BIOS, check the cables and the SCSI IDs of each device, and confirm proper termination. For enhanced integrated device electronics (EIDE) devices, define the onboard EIDE port as Primary only. Also, check each EIDE device for the proper master/slave/stand-alone setting. Remove all EIDE devices except for hard disks. If the message appears during an installation of Windows 2000, make sure that the computer and all installed peripherals are listed on the Microsoft Windows 2000 Hardware Compatibility List (HCL) on http://www.microsoft.com. For more troubleshooting information about this Stop message, refer to the Microsoft Knowledge Base at http://support.microsoft.com/support.
SUGGESTIONS:
do a hdd test
If youre using a dell computer, turn off /turn on computer and start tapping on f12 to go to the boot options. choose diagnostics/utility partition
if your get a return code 7 -- you could still try to do a chkdsk /r and then do an OS repair.
if you got another code -- possible hdd issue.

Windows Vista Genuine Validation Fails Due to Incorrect BIOS Data
In May, Microsoft revealed that the WGA mechanism can be the source of failed validation when it comes to Windows Vista. "When you try to validate a copy of Windows Vista, you may receive an error message that resembles the following: The Validation service is unable to determine whether this copy of Windows Vista is genuine. You may receive this error message even though you were able to activate Windows Vista as expected. Typically, this issue occurs when Windows Vista was preinstalled on a computer by an OEM," Microsoft revealed in Knowledge Base article 937474. the users are advised to access the Genuine Microsoft Software website in order to resolve their issues.
According to the Redmond Company, the issue is connected to incorrect licensing data in the BIOS. Still, this error message is just one more example of the problems inherent with the WGA tool. If there's one thing that Microsoft has been extremely quiet about, even more than the future of the Windows platform, that is WGA's false positives. Microsoft dodged all issues related to the errors in the functionality of its Windows Genuine Advantage solution. The company's position has been that WGA false positives are but a small number and do not impact the tool's overall performances or accuracy.
