Dell Dimension 4600 gives me a BSOD with the IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL and stop code 0x0A. Since the tower doesn't seem to stay in a non-BSOD mode long enough for me to give you the information you require for BSODs, I'm at a loss.
It seems to be an equal opportunity crash - it doesn't matter if it's normal, low-res mode, safe mode or safe mode with networking. It always boots to the desktop, and then I get maybe 5 minutes at most before it BSODs on me. It even BSODs when it's doing nothing more than sitting at my destop screen, with no applications running and no internet activity.
Before it started crashing regularly, I was able to download something called a BlueScreenViewer, which lists all the Minidumps, and the driver that caused it. I've been able to view the screen for about a minute or so before it crashes, and they all seem to be caused either hal.dll drivers or something that starts with ntk... (I believe)
