I've been using Window's Vista x64 Ultimate for over a year now with no issue, but recently (maybe a week ago) I've started getting random blue screen crashes. They can happen right at start up, or I can be on for 4 hours and no issue.
They have also been getting progressively worse, with today being the worst.
The blue screen crashes are Driver_irqr_not_less_or_equal with a mix of error messages. I've seen.

I believe the 0x0000001 has been the most common one. I tried looking for more information in the event viewer (following the advice I've read and being guided by my friend) but haven't had any luck finding anything that would point to why it's crashing.
I'm also not sure how to access the crash dump.
I did run the memtest program, which came up with no errors. We didn't run the entire test, my friend assured me if there was a bad stick that it would be known after 20 minutes.
Now my computer is in a position where it either won't boot, or will boot and crash right away. It also crashed once while booting and for a while (3 attempts) when I turned the computer on nothing happened and it would power up and not boot.
It's not overheating, it's not the ram. Where should I start looking to fix the problem? I also get blue screenz in safemode.
I have all my driver's fully updated according to window's update, with SP2. The only recent installations have been a new codec, regular window's updates... and I also installed some older programs from disks I had.
