irql_not_less_or_equal

I've seen some pretty knowledgeable replies in this section & thought that I would ask for some advice;


I've got a Samsung i7 laptop (GTX 675M, HM76E chipset, HDD & SDD, Win7 64) which has been occasionally going BSOD in recent months with the irql_not_less_or_equal stop error.


The usual suggestions seems to be test the memory (done), check the graphics drivers (done) & have a good look through Event Viewer for clues. It's taken a while to narrow down the exact time of the event as it usually happens when the computer is unattended, but it BSOD'd in front of me last night, so I got straight into Event Viewer after it happened.


There seems to be little in Event Viewer related to the time of the stop, just regular processes, followed by start notifications after restating of an unexpected shut down.


Any idea's on where I should be looking to try & trace this down or where in Event Viewer the most relevant information may be?


I don't know if this is relevant, but the computer spends a good 16 hours a day switched on, being used pretty heavily Mon>Fri, but the stop's are more prevalent at the weekend, when it's on, but not really being used that much (possibly 1 stop weekdays & 3 at the weekend on average).


Thanks.
