IRQL not less or equal error message

I've gotten this message several times, possiblty related to using my dvd drive, but I'm not sure. When I get the message, I have to reboot the computer.

I also get a stop message that reads: 0x0000000A ( 0x00000004, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x804F1A0A)

Does anyone have any thoughts? I read another post that suggested this might mean an incompatibility with the other person's cd drive, but my dvd and cd drive came with this computer!

Any answers?

    The meaning of that particular STOP error is:

    A kernel-mode process or driver attempted to access a memory location without authorization. This Stop error is typically caused by faulty or incompatible hardware or software. The name of the offending device driver often appears in the Stop message and can provide an important clue to solving the problem. If the error message points to a specific device or category of devices, try removing or replacing devices in that category. If this Stop message appears during Setup, suspect an incompatible driver, system service, virus scanner, or backup program.
