    Let's try to simplify things for you.  You said it was a Dell?  What is the model number?  Go to www.support.dell.com, enter the Dell service tag, and download the drivers you need.  However, it's unlikely to be the issue, sounds more like hardware or malware issue.  BSOD's could be either.

        Torrents are now your issue...not driver apps.
        What kind of protection apps do you have on that machine ? ?

                So you want the entire thing and not just the error message that pops up?

                  Ugh i got it again (i dont know why) so here is the complete error message: "A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer" (here we get the error message i reported before) and then" if this is the first time youve seen this stop error screen restart your computer"
                   " if this screen appears again follow these steps"
                  "check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed"
                  " if this is a new installation ask your hardware or software manager for any windows updates you might need"

                  "if the problem continues disable or remove any installed hardware or software then disable bios memory options such as caching or shadowing if you need to use safe mode to remove or disable componits restart your computer press f8 to select advanced startup options and then select safe mode"

                  " technical information ***stop:0x000001,oxf8463339)

                  "Beginning dump of physical memory,physical memory dump complete
                  Contact your system admin or tech support for any further assistance"


                  And when this happened i wasn't really doing anything since i had just woken up.

                  from here:

                  STOP Error 0x00000001: APC_INDEX_MISMATCH
                  STOP error 0x1 means that there has been a mismatch in the APC state index. STOP code 0x00000001 may also display "APC_INDEX_MISMATCH" on the same STOP message.

                     1. A kernel-level application or device driver running in kernel mode created a mismatch of thread and asynchronous procedure calls (APC) indexes. This is probably due to a file system mismatch in the number of processes that entered the critical area compared to those that left. Allowing the software to run at this point will corrupt or damage the system.
                     2. This could be due to newly added hardware or software issues.
                     3. This error can pop up when a CD or DVD is inserted into the drive
                     4. This error also happens when the computer uses the Windows Vista Aero color scheme.
                     5. Sometimes, when we unlock the computer and login to the default desktop this STOP error shows up.
                     6. This STOP error sometimes occurs after the computer transitions into to sleep mode repeatedly (by customer usage).
                     7. This problem can also happen in a secure desktop environment (when we lock the computer) where an application has registered an “event hook” using an Application Programming Interface
                     8. Problems in the Windows system file win32k.sys can trigger this STOP error.
                     9. Memory corruption can also create these conditions.
                    10. Too much RAM (> 2GB) may exceed motherboard and BIOS capabilities and create this STOP Error.


                  and before you got a IRQL_NOT_LESS_THAN_EQUAL error... the APC_STATE.... error is probably rather rare; my guess is you may have bad memory.
                  I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.
