    My OS is Windows XP Pro SP3. I've recently been getting seemingly random bluescreens that I can't associate with any particular application or device. The error message is always the same.

    IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
    0x0000000A (0x0000001C, 0x00000002, 0x00000001, 0x806E6A16)

    I'd be very appreciative if somebody could take a look at a few recent minidumps and tell me what to suspect.

    Thanks.

    I'm too lazy, but... here are the instructions for running the debugger: http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35246

    Post the results and I'll have a look.
    Don't forget the step to import the symbols and also to run the !analyze -v command.

    btw did you run a memory test yet? And a virus scan?

    Dump files 012809-1 and 012809-2 both probably caused by ntkrpamp.exe, whilst running process acs.exe.

    ntkrpamp.exe is part of the windows kernal and system.
    ACS.exe is related to Atheros Wireless LAN Configuration Utility.

    Mini013009-01 probably caused by afwcore.sys running process acs.exe

    afwcore.sys is part of Outpost Firewall
    ACS.exe as above.

    All 3 could have something to do with atheros software on your computer, but I could be wrong, just with all 3 blue screening when running ACS.exe points towards this.
