BSOD preventing Windows from booting normally

[Myrtle_T_Turtle]

Hello there,

I'm currently having some issues booting up Windows. Last night, I was going to try to add a new device over Bluetooth, but I didn't know whether or not the desktop itself has Bluetooth or not. So, just to try it out, I went to "Devices and Printers" and clicked "Add new device," at which point the "Add new device" dialog box appeared and a few seconds later the BSOD came up. Everytime I restart it and attempt to boot Windows normally, it shows the BSOD right around the point where the music starts playing (it's where it says "Welcome" before the login screen). Safe mode works (I haven't tried Safe Mode with Networking or Safe Mode with Command Prompt yet).

Here are the details of the BSOD itself:
(Generic BSOD text)

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

(Generic BSOD text)

Technical information:
*** STOP: 0x00000001 (0x0000000000000010, 0x0000000000000002, 0x0000000000000000, 0xFFFFF88001722506)
*** ndis.sys - Address FFFFF88001722506 base at FFFFF880016F4000, DateStamp 4a5bc184

And here's what the dialog box in Safe Mode told me:

What should I do?

Thanks in advance!
