Internet Explorer restarts computer after going on-line

I am trying to fix a laptop for a friend, but I am at an absolute loss with
the exception of formatting the entire system and starting over (but this is
a tremendous task as he has no cd-burner, and only a 3-1/4 to back up all his
files. Every time I open up Internet explorer, the computer quickly shuts
down. It will open fine in safe mode, and you can surf the internet, but in
normal mode the internet forces an immediate shutdown. Even when Norton tries
to do automatic update, it shuts down the computer. Here is the error message
that I receive:

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 stop error screen, restart your
computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

Check to make sure and new hardware or software is properly installed. If
this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer for
and windows updates you might need.

If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or
software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you
need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer,
press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then select Safe Mode.

Technical Information:

*** STOP: 0x000000D1 (0XFFB5A000, 0x0000000Z, 0x00000000, 0xF980C484)

Beginning dump of physical memory
Physical memory dump complete.
Contact your system administrator or technical support group for futher
assisstance.


Any help with this would be greatly appreciated as I am at a complete loss
before formatting the whole damn thing. Thanks all.
