blue screen shutdown

[mdoggy40]

Every once in a while when i am online, i get a blue screen error that says :
"Problem detected
CRQL_not_less_or_equal

blah blah

STOP: 0x0000000A(0x01C6B81D, 0x00000002, 0x00000001, 0x805140E4)
beginning dump of physical memory"

Does this mean a problem with ram? If so what can i do to check???
thanks.

ok you need to write down the error code and if the error code is the same every time you get the blue screen it usally always means that you have bad RAM. if they are different though you may want to start looking for other things that could be wrong like checking the powersupply oftentimes if the powersupply is bad it will generate these phantom errors.

I used to get that when i had a horrible computer..its your bad computer. dont know exactly what the problem is but i know its because of a bad/slow comp.

try changing your RAM. be sure that there's no additional Hardware install. If you have installed hardware, try disconnecting or unplugging the software and see if the computer gets running OK

thanks for suggestions.
As for mdogg's post, it was very technical, dont think i understood it.

if the error codes are the same each time most likley that points to ram so try switching out sticks to see if that helps or run memtest86 to diagnose the ram
