Hi, i have recently been having lots of problems with my Laptop performing forced shutdowns,
Normally they are quite indescript but now are giving a bit more info.

I am running windows XP home ed (SP2)
I have recently installed an external pioneer DVDR-108, and a PCMIA USB 2.0 adapter

the first blue screen message i got was just a random one which Said

perform a memory check or try changing Video adapters

Stop: 0x0000007f (0x00000008, 0x80042000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)

tried a mormal restart (not given option of safe mode)

got to login screen typed in password then bluescreen with.

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

stop: 0x0000000A, 0x00000000, 0x000000ff, 0x00000000, 0x804E0A4A

I am currently performing a HDD regenerator scan (as i can do it from boot disk) with no errors so far

anyone got any info as to why this is happening?

The most common cause for BSOD's would be unstable overclocking or bad drivers.
