After automatic update, BSOD

My computer downloaded automatic updates during Friday, then Saturday morning
at 6:00 AM, my computer is set to automatically install updates and restart
the computer. Imagine my surprise when I wake up to a Blue Screen.

I found out that it was from the automatic updates, so I used System Restore
to restore to before the updates were installed. Fixed. I didn't think
about disabling the automatic installation of updates......so they were
installed again today at 6:00 AM. I wake to the same Blue Screen.

I figured "Hey, I know how to fix this, I've done it already". *buzz*
Nope. Now I can't System Restore, either. It either restores to a point
successfully, or Blue Screens with the following error (give or take):

DRIVER_CORRUPT_MMPOOL

That's no fun. I've tried everything that I can think of, short of backing
everything up and reinstalling (and I really hope it doesn't come to that).
Any help would be appreciated!

Some error messages that I get upon a restart of my computer:

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

The shorter of the above two is accompanied by the following STOP code (if
this helps anyone):

*** STOP: 0x0000000A (0x00000008, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x804F1980)

Disclaimer: No, I don't know which updates were installed, but I do know
one of them was that "Software Distribution xxx 2.0" update, as that was the
title of the restore point(s) I was using.

OEM windows is generally configured for a wipe the drive reinstall.
If you have a store-bought CD you can do a repair installation.
