Help Reading Dump for irql_not_less_or_equal Bluescreen

Hey guys, twice in a row now, I've gotten an irql_not_less_or_equal bluescreen, and I'd like to nip it in the bud before it reoccurs. The only thing I can think would have triggered it was a recent installation of Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2010 Express, considering both times the computer crashed I had some VS Express program open.

I've tried to read the crash minidump, but the MS Debugger won't recognize the symbols I installed ("In order for this command to work properly, your symbol path must point to .pdb files that have full type information."). So could someone do me a favor and take a look at the two attached dump files and see what might be going wrong.

Here's my computer's info:
Dell Studio 1555
Windows 7 Professional 32 Bit
4 GB RAM, 2x2.40 GHz Pentium Core2 Duo

Edit: I ran heard about WhoCrashed so I ran that. It pointed to my netw4v32.sys wireless driver. Does that sound like a reasonable assertion? I'll try updating it...

Thanks in advance!

ou are correct. These were caused by your intel wifi driver. I would download and install the newest version available.

Yup, I got one off Intel's site and I haven't had a problem since. I'll keep you posted if I do though. Thanks so much for the help!
