Turned my PC on the other day, after working fine for however long, and now it just continually reboots. But before the reboot happens, I get this blue screen

Anyone know what this means?? It boots in safe mode and in safe mode with networking and operates perfect in those modes. A virus scan revealed nothing. Want to avoid a reinstall at this stage.
Thanks

Cheers bud. Something I just thought of was this problem has come up since installing Firefox, but not right after the install. IE works fine in safe mode, but Firefox will not start up. I cant even uninstall it. Im using AVG 8.5 and the scan didnt seem to find anything. I'll look into the error code further. Thanks again for your help guys.

Ok, for future reference for anyone else having this issue, I uninstalled the video and sound driver and now it works fine. I guess I'll fine out soon enough which one was the main cause, but at least Ive narrowed it down to a driver conflict.

Thanks for the links. Something in there referred to drivers reloading packets twice. Took a punt, it worked.
