I have a sony vaio laptiop with Windows Vista Home Premium with 4 gigs of
RAM. I have been frequently getting blue screen crashes right after start-up
and shut-down.

The complete dump file for the error is the following:


------------------------------------------------------------------
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (a)
An attempt was made to access a pageable (or completely invalid) address at an
interrupt request level (IRQL) that is too high. This is usually
caused by drivers using improper addresses.
If a kernel debugger is available get the stack backtrace.
Arguments:
Arg1: 00000000, memory referenced
Arg2: 0000001b, IRQL
Arg3: 00000000, bitfield :
bit 0 : value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation
bit 3 : value 0 = not an execute operation, 1 = execute operation (only on
chips which support this level of status)
Arg4: 82100cba, address which referenced memory
