Please help, my computer is boot looping

Go to solution Solved by jab136,

I'm going to try a system restore...

Edit: System restore just failed 

Edit 2: ok actually it worked...

My computer keeps getting a BSOD every time I boot.  The error message is IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL and when I run blue screen view it says that it was caused by ntoskrnl.exe. I am running Windows 10 and am currently in safe mode.

Edit: it also sometimes says KERNEL _SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE instead of IRQL...

Most often this error is caused by a failing driver. Did you install/update any drivers recently?

I just deleted the Nvidia driver that I updated yesterday , but it didn't work.  I also ran a memory test, and that didn't find any issues.
