Doyle,
I would suspect that the problem is actually the agp440.sys driver, which is
related to the video display. It may actually be an AGP chipset driver.
Booting in safe mode bypasses the installed video driver in favor of a very
basic VGA driver. You might try running "sfc /scannow" while booted in safe
mode. This will verify that your system files have not been corrupted.
A final resort before reloading everything might be to install a generic VGA
driver, then finding and deleting agp440.sys, then reloading the specific
video driver.

John,
the blue screen comes up right after the Dell loading screen, black with a
brief progress bar which runs for maybe five seconds as soon as you turn on
the computer. There is then an immediate blue screen with the IRQL error. I
did a Google search too and basically it said it could be anything which
ain't that helpful. I did a bootlog and it showed that the system stopped
loading after driver" agp440.sys" and right before driver "ACPI
Multiprocessor PC". This is very early in the process.
