Another BSOD, The name was irql_not_less_or_equal.

Really starting to think it could be hardware in some way unless that DMP says other wise.

Any help would be great.

I would uninstall Ad-Aware to see how it goes without it.

Another thing I'd do as a temporary test is to go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers
and rename GEARAspiWDM.sys to GEARAspiWDM.BAK. Reboot.

This will break the Apple software but it's only to see if further crashes happen. You can rename it back to .sys anytime you wish.

You can also run Memtest86+ overnight to see if it comes up with any errors.

There's a new video card driver to install, but this did not cause the bsod at all:
