Below is the configuration of my Dell laptop:

MS Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit
Intel Core2 CPU T7200 @ 2.00GHz, 4 GB RAM, NVIDIA Quadro NVS 110M

Each time I power the machine after hibernation, I encounter a blue
screen with the following error message:

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

Unexpected shutdown ...

I tried to do some troubleshooting and removed a Cisco VPN client
program that had not previously installed properly. During the removal
of this program, I encountered another blue screen with the following
message:

APC_INDEX_MISMATCH
....

At this stage, I am running the machine in "Safe Mode with
Networking".

The machine does not boot normally (i.e., safe mode turned off) and
automatically prefers to go into "blue screen" mode, leaving a poor
user experience.

Can anyone recommend how to resolve this issue and help out this "poor
user"? Depending on how hard I have to work to resolve this issue, I
am trying hard not to switch to Linux :-(

Thanks,

Ramu

Umar,

Make sure that all your drivers are up to date and run a memory test.
Sometimes, random error messages are caused by faulty memory.

Umar,
It reminds me of a similar situation I had some time ago.
Try Darrell's suggestions here:

which were the ones that helped me then.
