I have a Gigabyte P43 MB. I cannot successfully install Windows 7 or WinXP.It has been giving me different BSODs and getting to different parts of the install before it BSODs. returned it to Gigabyte and they say they could find no problem.Now I get the same thing except it only gets to load files and never gets into startup.I get 0A, 24, 19, C2 BSODs..I have the MB sitting on my bench now, but when I first fully installed it into a case it did the same thing.I have tried this with 2 CPUs, 2 Graphic cards, 2 PSUs, 2 HDDs, and memory right out of my P35 MB. All of the components run fine on the P35 MB.I can boot to Hiren's disc, I can run memory test, I can find no problems - but I can't Install OS.
I have just built a new computer with the following specs:
When gaming on the computer it will crash and a BSOD will come up saying Bad Pool Caller. Or just a blue screen of death saying there is a problem with your video card. I have reinstalled the drivers for this card and used older drivers however the problem still continues. I have now put my Gigabyte GTX260 in this sytem above and all seems well at the moment plays games and passes tests with 3DMark 06.
Does this sound like a driver or a faulty video card problem??
Also one other thing I have noticed about the disk drive is the tray that opens seems to open a bit then open fully has anyone else experienced this problem before?

computer keeps getting bad pool caller bsod i think it may be utorrent causing it but i get it some times by going on youtubnot very good with computers i will attatch a dump file
i started having this issue awhile ago, but never had much time to try to troubleshoot it, in fact, it went away for a little while...i will play a game (starcraft 2) for maybe 40 minutes or so when the screen will screw up, make a buzzing noise, go the bsod and try to restart the computer. sometimes it will restart without trouble.there's also times where i will exit the game and go to Internet and it will crash then as well. at the blue screen, i have seen these two error messages the most:bad pool caller irql not less or equalreading through others' posts on various sites, i have done the following:updated various drivers, including my videoupdated biosinstalled the new version of nortonran memtest (no errors)it also seemed to me that the machine was running loud, so i opened it up and blew out the dust. after this, the problem stopped for about a month. now its back.i'm going to run memtest a few more times, swapping out the ram, because it sounds like it doesn't always catch stuff the first time.
From what I can tell its a modem related error, but i physically removed the delphi d40 modem and reformatted, only to occasionally still have the same error (just not as often)
now it only happens while running utorrent.
last time i had this error i made an attempt to DL current drivers for everything w/ driver genius pro. once i installed the program and ran it w/ all the new drivers it worked flawlessly for about a week (no BSOD crashes) but then suddenly they started occurring every hour while operating utorrent and certain websites.
im not at that PC right now but ill be sure to post the exact error message along with the model number of the laptop to see if anyone else is experiencing this.
any ideas in the mean time?
im assuming its due to gateway not rushing to add windows 7 support to certain pieces of hardware, allowing pretty much everything i have right now to be work flawlessly only w/ vista.
after since a few days, my computer has been getting Bad_Pool_Caller BSOD most of the time after i start to resume back my computer after hibernating it.
Im running on a MS WINDOWS 7 ENTERPRISE 32-BIT SP1 INTEL CORE I5 @ 2.27GHZ ARRANDALE 32NM TECHNOLOGY RAM 2.0 GB SINGLE CHANNEL -DDR3 @ 532 MHZ GRAPHICS ATI MOBILITY RADEON HD 4500 SERIES
I see other forums stating about needing a minidumps file, cause the BSOD is really interrupting my lessons in school because I'm using laptop most of the time.
This has been going on for a few months now and I have tried a number of things. At first I thought it just seemed to happen randomly when I used the internet that I would open a new page and just get an immediate blue screen with the message "BAD_POOL_CALLER".
Have a toshiba satellite laptop. Whenever I go to certain websites sometimes, I get the 'Bad Pool Caller' error; however when I go to those same websites at other times, the error does not happen. Also this error does not happen with all websites, only a few. What is this error and why does it happen when it does.
i've seem to have problems with my pc since this morning. I keep getting bsod, (Bad loop caller). Even when i restart i still get his error. Even when i go to safe mode i still get this error.
About 75% (3 out of 4 ave.) of attempts to start / boot results in BSOD right after I enter password to login into my account. The error codes are different sometimes but only one I could catch = "Bad Pool Error". I have added no new hardware. Have tried all I could find for a solution without results. Including Pre-boot sys access 4118, sys file check, full scan for virus several times. all the usual.
why i am getting bluescreen everyday.I tried to reinstall everything on my end also had a new hardware replaced with the same model and still i am getting the bluescreen error.
I've tried all I can think off but have not been able to locate the cause for the contant crashes I'm attaching last 5 minidumps and hope you can guide me.
My PC:
OS: Win 7 - 64bit - Home Premium SP1 Intel QuadCore CPU - Q 6600 8 GB RAM
So I just got back from a 3 day vacation, and when I came back I rebooted my computer only to come back to the "Start Windows Normally/ launch startup repair" naturally I chose startup repair, it froze. Tried starting normally, took me back to the same page. So I tried booting in safe mode, took me to the BSOD that read Bad_pool_header. So then I tried to putting in my windows 7 installation disc to see if I could do a system recover from there, but as soon as I try boot up with the disc it takes me back to the same BSOD. I feel completely stuck as I've tried everything I can think of.
Acer Aspire 4740G. 2 years old. Last 1-2 weeks constant BSOD as per title, and random freezing up, forcing restart. On restart, random issues pop-up e.g. "Windows explorer is not working", "Login services not working (causes me to be logged into a new profile, all settings, icons, wallpaper gone)". The system has run the Memory Diagnostics test. Extracting from the Event Viewer, the results are as follows:
One of the features that I love about Windows Home Server is the drive pool. No matter how many physical hard drives there are WHS just sees C: and D:. Running out of storage? Just throw in another hard drive.
On my 7 machine I already need to add a hard drive for storage. Is there an elegant method to be able to use that additional hard drive with my libraries so that all new files are saved to the new drive but when I open the library I see all the locations on both the C: and D: drives in one window?
I got a new desktop PC. It works fine, but on each startup it gives me the line "Verifying DMI Pool Data". It seems to be part of the normal booting process, but my other PC never does that, and when I researched it on the web I read that it might be a serious error.
The specs of the new PC are these:
Intel Core i7 950 @ 3.07GHz 6GB RAM Windows 7 Professional 64bit
I have a 4g sprint card and a DSL connection. I want to pool them together. Each is currently at around 6megs I want to be able to get 12 megs combined. How do I do this?Also unrelated, anyone aware of a way to plug a 4g sprint card into an IPhone (tried searching for adapters couldn't find it)
now when I switch on the pc, after the white screen and before the boot appear a black screen that say verifying dmi pool data and it stop to this.
For the first time I change the boot priority and boot from the another hard disk and it start. But now when I Boot from any hard disk the message is always the same...
I can boot without any problem from dvd drive or another device. Any solution?
I pressed something at the start of login once, something like y/n sata to dmos or something im not really sure but i pressed yes and now im getting verifying dmi pool data, update new data to dmi! aswell as a super quick blue screen flash and nothing working,
When playing games via steam I occasionally get a crash followed by the error message.
failed to lock vertex buffer in cmesh dx8
According to the FAQ on steam this is caused by a lack of paged pool memory which is reserved for apps like direct3d.
To get round this issue its recommended that you remove a line form the boot.ini which unlocks the page pool memory. The line is /3GB /Userva=2900
Does anyone know where this line is in windows 7 or how I can unlock the paged pool memory as I'm finding the crashes are starting to interfere with my enjoyment of gaming.
I have XP installed in my PC.I tried to install Windows 7 by mounting the Windows 7 image as virtual drive.After copying the files the PC reboots.After this reboot my PC is stuck at "Verifying DMI Pool Data".Nothing happens after that.Then I installed my XP again. Please give me a solution to this problem.
I keep getting reboots sometimes along with a BSOD crash.Other times it goes to reboot and gets stuck on "verifying DMI pool data".I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit booting from a partition E: on drive where other partition is F: for programs and data.[CODE]
i m on a amd dual core 5200, abit k9n with latest bios, ati 4830, 2gb ram 800mhz (2x1)
i have downloaded from my university Windows 7 x64 version (the free copy for students build 7600) but i have also tryed 2 other versions (rc i think, both 64 and 32) with no success.
first of all, the starting installation page is very slow, after 4-5 minuts on "setup is starting" (advance mode, not upgrade), and at the second step (expanding windows files 0%)
installation crashes with blue screen:
first time i get: bad pool header error
second time i m on another blue screen: "a device driver attemptingto corrupt the system has been caught. the faulty driver currently on the kernel stack must be replaced.."
now i will try the 3rd time to install in "safe mode" and i post new info here.
if u need something more to know for helping me ill provide them as fast as possible.

i have been getting these "bad pool header" and "system service exception" bsods for about a day now (the "bad pool header" one tends to pop up more often then the other btw). i ran a registry cleaner which didn't work and ran memtest this morning and it showed that my memory was fine. the bsods tend to occur more often when i am playing a game or running some program that uses a bit more memory but it also happens when i am just on the internet. on the other hand, last night i did nothing but surf Internet for 3 hours and didn't get a bsod at all. however, since then i haven't been able to do anything for more than 10 minutes (without being in safe mode) without it crashing, and this morning it completely froze until i turned it off. my os is windows 7 home premium 64bit. it came preinstalled from the manufacturer and unfortunately i do not have the install disc. the entire laptop is less than 2 years old and there have been no major hardware changes and i have never reinstalled the os.
I am writing this right now because after the last BSOD it said "Windows can not start" and I had to restore to when it was previously working. So up until that point this is what I did.Since working with computers almost my entire life I know most BSOD are due to either bad memory, drivers, or bios. I started there and updated my nvidea drivers but it happened again. I moved to the motherboard bios.I did find a newer one on there and using ASUS tool I flashed the BIOS. Same thing still happened. Next I ran memtestx86 for 8 hours and it returned no errors.At this point I just decided to look for newest drivers for everything. One thing that happened consistently was that my wireless USB adapter from Cisco had to be unplugged and plugged back in for it to work. I went there first, reinstalled the drivers but still the same thing. I thought maybe it was my hard drive. I downloaded Seagates Utility tool and ran all the tests and they all passed fine. I ran defrag just for good measure along with windows version of the mem test and that passed as well. I still continued to get the BSOD and I have to tell you I'm irritated and also stumped.
Next I moved onto software. I have been using AVG free for years but I know virus programs do some crazy stuff and I got rid of that. Turned on windows defender. I decided that since the wireless adapter didn't work after these crashes maybe lets just go to a direct wired connection. I disconnected the cisco wireless adapter and I'm just using a direct connect right to my router.These come at random times.. nothing I do can trigger it. It can stay on for days and not crash and then there are times it can be up for 10 min and crash.Some of you might notice that in the CPU-Z screenshots I had to take the screenshot with the error underneath. Every time I chose either of the two slots it crashed the program.I have not done anything internally besides add some neon to my computer which does not connect to the board at all.I have seen IRQL blue screen once so I even went as far to go into the power settings for windows and make sure the usb and everything never went into any kind of "standby" mode.
I believe this is still under warranty and I would like to go in with good information if I need to challenge and get new hardware if that's what it is.On a side note I have not touched the memory physically. I know some suggestions were to reseed the memory and chip but In my opinion something that has been working for months that never moves off my desk and is never basically touched besides the power button shouldn't mean something just came loose after 4 months of owning it.Again that's just my opinion. I have removed AVG, Ad-Aware, Some webcam motion detector software (which was a joke) and the only thing that was really installed was Skyrim.

This started happening last night while i was playing Borderlands 2, it has happened at idle, playing just about any game in my library, during downloads and just browsing the web. I changed all of my accessible drivers, and it continued to happen, so i moved all of my personal files onto my external HDD. I re installed windows on my SSD (did not reformat) and reformatted my HDD. I re installed my drivers, re-enabled SLI and it ran fine for about an hour, just downloading WoW, and then happened again twice.
