A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer for any windows updates you might need.

If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you ned to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to selected Advanced Startup Options, and then select Safe Mode.

Most likely a RAM issues but hard to tell, list your full system specs and be sure to note if overclocking or not.

I had a search on google seems to be an issue with the wireless adapter, try disabling is from bios and use the wired ethernet connection and update your drivers, also look for a bios update which might solve this.

I'm using 1 year old Asus f83vf laptop, C2D P8700 processer, 4gb ram ddr3, 500gb hdd, Nividia GT220M, 14 inch screen.

I ran the ram test at the windows startup no problems with the ram so far.

Yup indeed is the wireless adaptor that is causing the bsod, the model is Intel(r) WiFi Link 1000 GBN. Is disabling the wireless adaptor from the device manager similar or must I enter the bios to disable it? Updating the bios - will this move cause my whole computer to be unstable?

Which websites is recommended for updating the bios?
are this links safe to update my wireless adaptor?

do it in BIOS, it seems to be a common issue with the card or driver, from what i have seen on the interwebs
