so this started randomly today and not it won't stop... i haven't updated drivers in a while and tried swapping RAM but it still occurs. can anyone tell me what the codes point to?

DRIVER_IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

*** STOP: 0x00000001 (0x04F25000, 0x00000008, 0x04F25000)

Basically 0x1A is a Memory Management error which indicates a faulty driver or incompatible hardware. Try to run the compatibility check before you try to install any thing on your system. You can also try to login in to safe mode and can check the event viewer to get more details on the above issue.
