Windows 7 blue screen of death...egh
So I'm having my first run in with the BSOD and am completely stumped. The blue screen appears every time I log into my account and a few times when I log into it on safe mode (which I'm in now). I've been doing some reading on it and it has something to do with my drivers needing to be updated. The error is:
Driver_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
The issue is I haven't installed any new hardware on my comp that would require me to have to update drivers and when I go to my device manager and to update my drivers, they're all up to date. Can someone please help (this is the worse possible timing. FINALS WEEK)
I tried restoring my laptop to a previous state, but a good 15 minutes later the screen appeared once more. Downloaded and used a registry cleaner as well, but to no avail.
Thanks. Also, here is the problem report from the system:

Also, perfmon /report constantly results in "An error occured while attempting to generate the report. The system cannot find the path specified." I'm trying to get through this, but I am not computer
savvy, sorry. Any help on how to get rid of that error if its really required to solve this bsod issue.
