    Guys, I need real help here.
    I am using Parallels Desktop for Mac to Boot Windows XP.
    It worked for months.
    But today, it suddenly crashed into the Blue Screen of Death error and I can't figure a way out of this!

    Error Code :
    irql_not_less_or_equal 0x0000000a

    Infos
    1. I have tried to boot under 3 types of safe mode - Doesn't work (it goes to BSOD as well)
    2. I have tried to boot under Normal Mode and Last Known Working Config … - Doesn't Work (Goes BSOD)
    3. I have tried to set my processor number to 1 (from 4) and lowered my RAM as far as 512MB (from 1GB) - Still doesn't work
    4. I can't clean my motherboard or whatever (it's a laptop :S)

    So if I can't boot Windows, how can I possibly solve this?

    Please help anyone. I would really appreciate it.

    Thanks.

    PS : I've read many other forums, they say it's most likely a driver problem… But how do I verify that without being able to boot ? ._.

    Well, I've seen this error when you have bad ram. Could not get windows to install in brand new hardware. I wonder if you have a stick of ram going bad on your mac. Does your mac get slow or give kernel panics?
