0xF Stop error. plz help!

Question

Hi, my computer keeps shutting down and a blue screen with the stop error 0xF9818484 keeps showing up. It's the IRQL_LESS_OR_EQUAL message. I have spent hours looking for troublshooting and help but I keep having this trouble. I am no computer whiz and have attempted to use the regedit command prompt thing but i still have this problem. I have also increased my virtual memory (which I don't know if it really helps) but I stopped getting the error for awhile. Also, Im guessing this is from spyware at the beginning of each startup, it says that I have NEW HARDWARE to download but it's ridiculous 'stuff' such as one named 'gbgoluslysvi' (i did not make that up)- does anyone know how to get rid to this? THANKS FOR ANY HELP ~EUNICE

Elfie126, That particular error message often indicates that a driver file has become corrupt.  Does this error occur if you restart the computer in Safe Mode? Steve

Hi, Steve... thx for replying. I actually realized that I got a 'D' stop error instead of an 'F' one. The thing is, I got this error message before about 3 months ago and spent hours tyring to troubleshoot it. And miraculously i stopped getting the error message. All of a sudden it's showing up again and I no very little about computers and was hoping that someone could give me a step-by-step instructions or give me a link(s) that could help me. I've searched this forum for any help and online with Google, but im still in trouble. I really hope that this problem can be solved without completely re-installing Windows. I haven't tried using safe mode.. i remembering using safe mode in the past though
