Before I start, every blue screen I get is a irql_not_equal_or_less and I have run memtest on my ram cards with no issues. Also I am using 64bit Windows 7.

For a while now I have been having some problems with blue screens on my computer when I am turning it off or into sleep and sometimes during startup. Well I mostly fixed it by updating multiple drivers on my computer like my intel graphics driver. After that it really only blue screened when I tried to put it into sleep mode. Yet recently I tried re-downloading league-of-legends and every time it would blue screen near the end of the download.

Thus to fix this I searched on the windows help forum and found the Driver Verifier software on windows and used it following the instructions. Well now I am unable to get back into windows (using the dual-booted Linux OS) because it bluescreens right after I put in my login password. Then I try safe mode and my computer just turns off not booting up in safe mode either.

Basically my question is how to get my computer to boot windows up. Since I know it is very much needed, is there a way I can open or post the MiniDump files from Linux?

Since I cannot boot windows its hard to get exact computer info unless I can from Linux but here is what I can remember:

Windows 7 64bit
intel Core i5 2.5GHz
6 Gbs Ram
Sony Vaio Laptop
Integrated Graphics
Intel Graphics driver
Directx11

Please help me and if you need any info on my computer I would be happy to try and get it if you can tell me how to on linux.

I do know how to get to the MiniDump files on both windows and linux, my problem is opening them on linux to see my problem or even being able to start up windows at all

 
Also sir, a good idea would be even to try pulling out all but 1 stick and try again - regardless of memtest showing that everything is OK! And if it fails, put another instead of this 1 (in case this 1 is failing). I can see that this has been happening for quite some time, so... this check can't hurt. Disabling all the hardware you don't absolutely need (like onboard sound, onboard lan, serial and parallel ports) in BIOS is also a good idea.
