This error is almost always to do with device drivers.
I would check these first. Have you updated any reciently.

I would steer away from a hardware fault because as you have said it only happens in one of your OS`s not both.

From the STOP 0x0a entry in the Windows Debugging Tools Help file:
Bug Check 0xA: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
To resolve an error caused by an incompatible device driver, system service, virus scanner, or backup tool
  1. Check the System Log in Event Viewer for error messages that might identify the device or driver that caused the error.
  2. Try disabling memory caching of the BIOS.
  3. Run the hardware diagnostics supplied by the system manufacturer, especially the memory scanner. For details on these procedures, see the owner's manual for your computer.
  4. Make sure the latest Service Pack is installed.
  5. If your system has small computer system interface (SCSI) adapters, contact the adapter manufacturer to obtain updated Windows drivers. Try disabling sync negotiation in the SCSI BIOS, checking the cabling and the SCSI IDs of each device, and confirming proper termination.
  6. For integrated device electronics (IDE) devices, define the onboard IDE port as Primary only. Also, check each IDE device for the proper master/subordinate/stand-alone setting. Try removing all IDE devices except for hard disks.
