new to the forum - quick hello
I'm running Microsoft vista on a sony vaio laptop. I've got 160gig internal memory with 2gig RAM. My problem began with an increase in physical memory usage (which i understand to be RAM). Without any programs/applications operating my system is using 70%-80% physical memory. I've used programs such as Spybot, Malwarebytes AntiMalware, and Super AntiSpyware. Each program occasionally turns up results and fixes them, but it does not solve the problem. Now the computer will shut itself down without and warning and no consistent indicators. A Blue error screen appears with a message:
A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
If this is the first time you've seen this top error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow this steps
Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed
If this is a new installation, ask your hard or software manufacturer
for any windows updates you might need
If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware
of software. Disable BIOS memory options such as catching or shadowing

I also have Spyware Terminator running which is consistently blocking a Host Process for Windows Services. It is located at C:\Windows\System32\drives\tdtcp.sys.
Any help would be appreciated. The computer is progressively getting worse.
