I was playing Words with Friends... and the blue screen flashed IRQL Drive not less or equal... what does it mean what can I do? It rebooted fine on it's own.

It means that a driver in Windows caused the OS to crash and restart. If you press f8 at boot, you can start in safe mode and troubleshoot which driver is causing this blue screen.
