Ever since an hour ago, my computer has been blue screening and I've tried everything to fix it. I've heard it's drivers that I need to update but the problem is, I can't even attempt to download them. It blue screens as soon as the loading screen comes up, I know it can't be overheating since I left my computer off for the past hour.
It comes up with STOP: 0x000000D1 if that helps anyone.
it is a driver problem, and you do need to update them..
what were the last drivers you installed?
and what programs?

answer those two questions, also google turned [url=http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread43291.html#]this[/url] up. If you don't want to read past the OP, I will quote the solution.
[quote=http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread43291.html#]This problem can be caused by a damaged pagefile or bad sector that the pagefile is mapped to or faulty RAM module. Try removing the pagefile, rebooting and then creating a new one. Also, have your memory tested, either with your vendors tools or with something like memtestx86.
This code usually indicates that the system tried to access pageable memory and could not or an error returned when it attempted to do so. I have had at least one case where a faulty RAM module was causing this and other stop codes.[/quote]
A detailed explanation of what is going on:
[quote]Stop 0×000000D1: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL - This Windows stop error indicates that the computer tried to access memory using a kernal process which had a IRQL that was too high (as kernal processes can only access IRQLs that it is either equal to or IRQLs that less than it). This is usually caused by incorrect or incompatible drivers.[/quote]
If you need to access the internet, get a linux liveCD and boot from that, if you want to try and update your BIOS/drivers or copy out files you want to keep in case you reformat and reinstall.
I've tested taking all of the RAM out so it won't be that, how do I access my BIOS anyway? It tells me to press F8 on boot to access the BIOS but it doesn't work for some reason.

The last thing I updated was the nVidia driver which updated the soft particles I think, I'm not sure.
I had just downloaded something and opened it in WinRAR when the computer bsod'd.
Right, is there a way to format from the BIOS? I'm left without a choice here.
Try using the windows dvd to fix the installation
Or use a recovery cd, though I'm not exactly sure what's the difference between the normal one and the recovery cd. Maybe it's just smaller.
Does the recovery cd/windows dvd work through the BIOS or just through windows explorer?
Never mind this, formatting pc now.
the windows dvd is better, as the recovery cd adds crapware to your system as well, if its from a prebuilt.
