BSOD before & after clean install of W7 "DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

Had intermittent BSOD for past two years while using Vista. Just re-formatted the hdd and clean installed Windows 7 Pro N 64-bit. Still getting the same BSOD that typically occurs if the computer is left on for a few hours.

Dell Studio 1535
4GB Ram
Intel Core 2 Duo

SF Zip file attached.

I appreciate your help resolving my problem.

Welcome

Hopefully there's not much to do here.

First look for a update on your BIOS version, current ones are of 2008. (must)
Code: 
BIOS Version/Date	Dell Inc. A05, [COLOR="Red"]7/30/2008[/COLOR]

Check for an update for your VGA, you'll probably get it from windows update - optional list / or the manufacturers website.

Look for an update on your sound device drivers too..

Run disk check to make sure your hard drive is good:

Thank you for your help. Just tried to update the BIOS to A06 version but ran into the following error "The BIOS update could not be performed because a valid ROM image file could not be found"

Any ideas why this is?

Version A06 is available but I can't update via windows 7, says it can't find the rom file. I have tried to create a bootable USB drive to update via dos but I can't download the bios forum.com file since it seems to no longer be hosted.

This file format consists of a BIOS executable file. The Universal (Windows/MS DOS) format can be used to install from Windows XP, Windows 2000, NT, Windows 9X, Windows ME or a MS DOS environment.

Run the BIOS update utility from DOS environment (Non-Windows users)

NOTE: You will need to provide a bootable DOS diskette. This executable file does not create the DOS system files.
  1. Copy the file 1535_A06.EXE to a bootable floppy.
  2. Boot from the floppy to the DOS prompt.
  3. Run the file by typing Y:\1535_A06.EXE (where y is the drive letter where the executable is located).
Have you tried this?
