    Another possible cheap fix I have used - check you cooling fans! I got the BSOD on mine because one of the internal fans wasn't running quite as fast as it used to. They do need periodic cleaning if they are in a dirty environment (under a desk, dusty, pet hair, etc). Every so often, the part of the mother board that slow fan was cooling would overheat and safety shutdown.

    Had the exact same thing on my TIVO once. Was a $5.00 hardware fix that saved me from a complete failure by catching it before there was any permanent damage.
    The best things in life can not be found on a map; they can only be found while Wandering.

    Sounds like it may be the mother board fritzing out. Everything tied to the board seems wacky. The IRQL not less than equal etc... has showed up when I've had bad RAM plus youve got the memory management issue. Sounds like somethings going on the board for it to have issues in multiple places. Seems just too random to have all those issues at once. The board is related to all. Then again it may not be. Good Luck.

    That's along the lines of what I was thinking.... hardware failure of either the mother board or hard drive. But actually diagnosing this is over my head... so we'll see.

    Check the motherboard for distended capacitors.

    I'd mostly rule out the hard drive. It shouldn't be causing these issues.
