    I seem to always have issues with Vista 64 bit. All the time I get this stop error mentioned in the subject line and its getting annoying. It happens when I am either playing counterstrike or basically anything that involves using the internet heavily. IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL and 0x00000007A are what appear on the blue screen. I am using the drivers from the gateway website and the video drivers from laptopvideo2go. PLEASE HELP ASAP and NO I WILL NOT roll back to 32bit again cuz I just clean installed it from 32bit to 64bit just today.

    More of a driver problem. I'm using Vista 64bit and never seen one crash yet over 1 year.

    Update your drivers 1st.

    IRQ not less or equal bug can be anything from bad memory to overheating. Usually its an Addon peripheral driver issue/conflict.
    Since you say it happens when you're playing CS, and internet, could be the wireless card driver's bad. I had this happening before with my Linksys W300NUSB adapter, i would get that type of BSOD. It was bad 64bit drivers from linksys, the fix was to install Marvell's generic ones.
    Check what type of wireless card you got, and try to get the most updated vista x64 drivers for it.

    Can also test your memory too.
