My sister's Dell 8250 running XP Home has stopped funtionning.. It bluescreens before the boot screen with the following error:

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

It will boot into safe mode. So I uninstalled the video drivers but it made no difference. Either does trying system restore. She updated to Service Pack 2 a couple of months ago. But it was running fine until last week. She hasn't added any hardware. I removed Norton, but that made no difference. I thought it might be a RAM failure but I can't check it because this computer is using that damn Rambus RAM and of course I don't have any extra. Any ideas before a reinstall? I checked the Knowledge Base but it didn't clear up much.
