DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (0x000000D1) Stop error

I have been having intermittent problems with a DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (0x000000D1) Stop error.  There hasn't been any changes in software or hardware. 

The system is a Dell Studio 540 that includes: a) Windows 7 Home Premium Edition (64bit), Service Pack 1, Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q9400 2.67 GHZ, ATI Radeon HD 4300/4500 Series Video Card, AMD High Definition Audio Device, Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio.

Error message:
Stop: 0x000000D1(0x0000000000000008, 0x0000000000000002, 0x0000000000000000, 0xFFFFF8800179CA1D)
NETIO.SYS-Address FFFFF8800179CAID base at FFFFF88001777000, Date Stamp 5034f6a0

Suggestions on what to do to solve the problem?  Thank you.

Have you scanned thoroughly for malware recently?

NETIO.SYS is a network issue. Try updating the wired NIC driver, modem, or wireless (WiFi) driver, depending on how your system connects to the internet.

Are you using either ZoneAlarm firewall and/or McAfee? Both of those have been known to cause D1 errors. So you may have to uninstall and reinstall them if updating the drivers doesn't help.
