damage to your computer.

your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:
Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed.
If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer
for any 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.

Without retyping a mini guide on this subject, this should suffice:

My first impressions are something wrong with RAM or the hard drive.

Cause Of Error BSOD Error || Stop: 0×000000D1 | DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
The Cause of the problem can be due to the following reasons
This Stop error indicates that the system attempted to access pageable memory using a kernel process IRQL that was too high.
The major cause is a bad device driver or by a faulty or mismatched RAM or damaged pagefile.
Damaged Virtual Memory Manager or RAM problems.
I would go delete the page file, reboot and create a new page file.
Doing a sector scan on the hdd would be a good idea as well.

That error is usually related to a “Mass Storage Device” driver OR a hard drive problem.
Try this (works for XP, Vista, 7 – not sure about Windows 8 ):
