Repeated Blue Screen of Death

PLEASE HELP!!!

I think I may have discovered the deadliest blue screen of death ever.

I installed the drivers for an Epson XP-400 printer, restarted my computer, ignored a message saying that some network drivers failed, and then as I was listening to music on iTunes I got a blue screen of death. It's been a few hours now and I've repeatedly
had a total of 8 different error messages.

These being:

1. IRQL_not_less_or_equal

2. clock_watchdog_timeout

3. system_thread_exception_not_handled

4. memory_management

5. machine_check_exception

6. kmode_exception_not_handled

7. system_service_exception

8. page_fault_in_nonpage_area

*sometimes (NTFS.sys) is added to the end.

Some of these errors happen while starting up, shortly after starting up, while in Windows recovery and while loading Windows recovery.
