Bad Pool Caller - Blue Screen of Death

Windows Blue Screens of Death (BSoDs) happen whenever your computer encounters something it doesn’t know how to process, so it shuts itself down to prevent any damage. Sometimes BSoDs happen once and you don’t see them again when you restart — however, this isnt always the case and a BSoD may show up repeatedly.
In this article we will look at issues causing a bad_pool_caller BSoD. What has happened is that a thread in the laptop's processor has made a bad pool request. This means that it’s asking to use resources that are unavailable, nonexistent, or in use by another thread. It could also mean that the pool header is corrupted — regardless of the particular error, it, like most BSoDs, is caused by driver issues.
Drivers are what makes your computer work. Every device connected to your computer, and nearly every component inside it has a software driver that determines how Windows interacts with your device. When driver issues are encountered- which is fairly common on new operating systems like Windows 8 — it can cause a lot of problems, but, fortunately, sometimes there is an easy fix.
Recently Connected and Installed Device
Try to determine which device was last connected or installed before an error appeared. Often this can be a new peripheral device. Go to Device Manager (in the Control Panel) and find the driver for the recently connected peripheral device driver. From there, you can get Windows to search for updates, you can disable it, or you can uninstall it entirely. You can also disconnect the problem device and perform a system restore to before the device was connected and supporting software was installed.
Recently Installed Program
If your drivers aren’t the problem, a recently installed program may be the issue. If you can determine what program you installed that started this, uninstall it or perform a system restore to before the program was installed, and, after a restart, you should be good to go.
System Restore
Windows 7 and earlier
Windows 8
Any further issues that cannot be resolved may require your computer to be repaired.

Every time we try to connect his Nano it causes the PC to crash with this Bad Pool Caller message.
is the BADPOOLCALLER citing a specific file, Laurita? if so, what is it called? (exact spelling please.)
if it's not citing a specific file, let's try getting a minidump to the Apple engineers for a look.
To set up your machine to capture a minidump, right click on "My Computer", select "Properties", select the "Advanced" tab, select the "Startup and Recovery" Settings button, select "small memory dump" from the popup. When it crashes, look for the MiniDump file. It's usually in the folder "C:\WINDOWS\Minidump" and is called something like Mini<number>-<number>.dmp.
Find that file and send it as an attachment to this email address.
in the email to Roy, be sure to include the following information:
- A link to the thread on Apple Discussions where the issue is being discussed
- The username you are using in the thread
- The version of iTunes you are using or trying to use
- the version of Windows you are using (mention service packs)
- A concise description of the issue you are seeing
- The exact text of the error message you are seeing

  • Blue Screen of Death when calling skype on iphone/...

    Every time i call a person on skype on iphone or s6 (i think any smartphone) my computer crashes and causes blue screen of death. i have windows 8.1 running and this also happened on win 8. i have tried uninstalling, clean installing, deleting all old files of skype and then installing but nothing has worked. 
    on aside, when i get a call from another desktop skype as well, invariably, i cant connect the call at first attempt. clicking on accept does nothing and it will continue rining. even clicking on reject does not work after. the only option is to kill skype from task manager and then restart it. it then works fine for first call i make. it then has similar issue on later calls. not neccessarily the 2nd call. its regular but also random in nature. 
    i have not idea what is the problem. do you?

  • Blue screen of death twice 2 days after receiving T510

    Hi all,
    I encounter the dreaded Blue Screen of Death 2 times in two days, with a brand new T510.
    The first one came as such a surprise in a meeting that I couldn't catch what it was. The 2nd time happend just now and I decided to post and ask for advice. The error for this time is "bad_pool_header" - not sure what that is.
    The 2nd time is not necessarily the same as the 1st time. It seems that the display driver is not very stable. There were various times that, when I open the lid while connecting to an external monitor, the whole image on the external screen flickered vigorously. Windows 7 complain the display driver had crashed and windows has recovered from the error. I suspect the first time Blue Screen may be related to this too.
    Anyway, although I like this system a lot, two blue screens in two days after receiving the new machine on Wednesday is pretty frustrating to me. Would Lenovo please iron out some stable and high quality drivers with the Windows 7 "Enhanced" Experience? May be with the parts manufacturer please?
    Thanks all!
    Campion

    I would start with installing the latest bios and video driver updates off of lenovo's site.  (do not use the TVSU since that tends to be slower at propigating new updates).  It is new hardware and there is the possiblity of drivers and/or bios being updated since the drive images Lenovo installs from where created.
    Of course random BSOD's could also be bad ram.  I would try running MemTest86 on the system and making sure it can successfully pass the tests, and make sure you call customer service and report this so that they know of the issue moving forward.
    Best of luck!

  • N500 Bad Pool Caller

    hi folks, having a bit of trouble with my N500. It's been crashing a lot lately with a blue screen and saying "Bad Pool Caller". any ideas? I thought it was an external firewire card, but I haven't used it in days, then I thought it was the wireless card but the error log didn't show much.
    Also, Windows Update crashes every time I try to open it!

  • Adobe Reader 9 causes blue screen of death

    Hello,
    Recently my laptop gave me the blue screen of death. On the blue screen error page it said that Adobe Reader was the cause. And I had the most recent version which I believe is 9.3. I took it the IT department on my college campus and they said that they had several people report the same issue but they haven't found a solution. I tried all of the system recovery tools and still had to do a complete pc restore.
    I currently have Adobe Reader 7. Most websites require that I have the most recent version of Adober Reader. However, I dont want the most recent version because I fear my laptop will crash again.
    Does anyone know if there has been a solution for this issue?
    Thanks.
    Randa

    B.S.O.D. - Usual cause = Bad OS files.
    Just because the screen says Adobe Reader caused the problem, doesn't necessarily mean it did. What it's really saying is "your OS crashed while you had Adobe Reader opened and were using it". Analogy: If your car blows out a tire and you crash into a light pole setting off your airbag, it's not the light pole's fault you crashed and blew the airbag. It was just the catlyst for the final result. The bad tire blowing out was the root cause.
    I concur that we need the referenced memory module from the BSOD (which should be in the crash log) in order to know why it crashed when Reader was open.
    Personal note: I tell people to stay away from system restore unless it's an absolutely, unavoidable last resort. It causes more problems than it solves 99 times out of 100. The other one time, the PC user ends up reformatting and reloading the whole thing anyway. System restore isn't a Fix-it type thing, it's more like an "eraser".
    I like the car analogies, so here's one for system restore: Say you go out to run errands in your car. first thing you do is head to the mall. While you're there, someone sideswipes your car and scratches the entire driver's side really badly. You call the insurance company and they say take it to a repair shop. You're running on "E" so you fill up the tank on the way.
    Here's where the difference between repair and restore comes in.
    If you take the car to a body shop and say repair it, they pull out the dents, fill the scratches in and repaint the car. You get it back and everything is OK again. Now, if they "restored" it per Microsoft system restore standards, you'd get it back with the paint fixed, but they'd also empty your gas tank, because it wasn't full before the wreck, and everything you bought at the mall would disappear too, because you didn't have it prior to discovering your car all scratched up.
    Fact is, if you have to do a system restore to fix things on your PC, you're just about ready to reformat and reload the whole thing anyway, it's just a BSOD waiting for the right time to happen.

  • Bad Pool Caller and Bad Pool Header issue

    Hi,I recently upgraded my system from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1. Since then it doesn,t start normally. Mainly give Blue screen with error Bad Pool caller, Bad pool header, Service Exception error, Driver corrupted expool. The system never hibernate or sleep. Please help. 

    Hi there
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel. I understand that after upgrading to Windows 8.1 you are experiencing various BSOD errors. I am happy to assist with this. Did this start immediately after the upgrade to Windows 8.1, or was it shortly after? Checking online for those messages, I found suggestions about conflicting drivers, multiple antivirus programs in use. Here are a few examples I found from the Microsoft support forums. Something within may be of use to you. driver expool corrupted windows 8 - answers.microsoft.comBAD_POOL_CALLER error in Windows 8.1 -  answers.microsoft.comsystem service exception error blue screen - answers.microsoft.com It may also be useful to open your own thread on the Microsoft Forums, as often the experts there are looking for dump files to look for specific causes. I hope this helps.

  • How to solve Bad Pool Caller issue (Windows 8.1)

    I have encountered blue screen Bad Pool Caller error on my Windows 8.1 today. It happened a couple times today. I don't know why this happen.

    It is never a good idea to have more than one active malware application as it leads to all sorts of instability and crashing.  This is your problem.  You have Kaspersky (in my opinion a leading cause of these) and Symantec (also a huge contributor)
    I would remove them both and use the built in defender of some other malware application.
    I would remove Kaspersky and use the built in defender.
    Kaspersky is a frequent cause of BSOD's.

  • Bad Pool Caller on startup

    I'm getting a Bad Pool Caller and Bad Pool Header errors upon startup.
    I can't even get to the desktop or to Metro screen so I can't get any log or dump files.
    It started after I accidentally installed an older version of Norton Utilities which had compatibility errors. The PC reset itself and came up with a Blue Screen error. saying
    "Your PC ran into a problem and we need to restart, Just collection some data"
    Each time it immediately restarts.
    When I get to the Recovery screen I select advanced repair options, troubleshoot, Advanced Options, Startup options.
    I've tried safe mode and but it just keeps repeating the same thing.
    I also tried to Startup Repair but that failed too!
    I would love to get in to uninstall Norton. Can you give me any advise.

    You should first make sure that there is the latest drivers installed from the manufacturer's website.
    Have you chance to upload a memory dump to your SkyDrive drive that we can analyze what is going on?

  • Blue Screen of Death When opening iTunes.

    I am at a loss. For the past six months I have been trying to figure out why my computer has a blue screen of death and then restarts "nearly" everytime i open iTunes. The "nearly" is what's driving me nuts because every once in a while it will open ONCE and then start crashing again. I don't even do anything to help it open it just miraculously works every now and then. It even craches the comp when starting iTunes in safe mode. The blue screen error says "Page Fault in non-paged area". iTunes worked fine for months before this randomly started happening. I have tried every solution I have seen, even ones that weren't for my problem. So far I have:
    Manually uninstalled iTunes and QT and reinstalled the standalone QT then iTunes.
    Disabled itunes helper and ipod service before starting.
    Disabling all other services and start-up items.
    Installed current bios and drivers (as far as I can tell)
    Installed current windows installer.
    Updated microsoft products including .net
    Updated Java runtime environment
    Replaced ram
    I have a pentium 4 1.6ghz with soyo mobo and a RAID card(mirrior) set-up. 1 gig of pc133 ram. I can ul the minidump if needed.
    I figured out how to load my podcasts on my ipod manually but I want to get a video ipod so I need itunes. PLEASE HELP!!
      Windows XP  

    there's a few more things worth checking on. but let's also capture a minidump of the crash and send it to someone who can interpret minidumps.
    To set up your machine to capture a minidump, right click on "My Computer", select "Properties", select the "Advanced" tab, select the "Startup and Recovery" Settings button, select "small memory dump" from the popup. When it crashes, look for the MiniDump file. It's usually in the folder "C:\WINDOWS\Minidump" and is called something like Mini<number>-<number>.dmp.
    send it to this email address
    in the email, put the URL to this discussion thread, so that whoever gets it has some context. Also give as much information about the context of the crash (in the email) as you can.

  • X200 Tablet - Wacom Pen Blue Screen of Death on Windows 7

    Hello...hopefully someone can help & point me in the right direction...I have a Lenovo x200 tablet PC (Stylus Only Version) - and recently installed Windows 7 Professional (64bit)
    The OS install went perfectly...Once installed, I did all the Systems Updates for Windows 7, including all the updates for Lenovo using System Update 4.01.....However, I have an issue that I cannot seem to figure out...
    PROBLEM # 1
    The biggest issue I now face is, whenever I put the Digitized Pen next to the Tablet Screen within 2 seconds I get the 'Blue Screen of Death'....and it automatically Reboots....This ONLY happens when I touch the Pen to the screen....
    I uninstalled the 'Wacom Drivers' - within the Device Manager, which i assume were installed by the system update(s)....After, uninstalling the issue of the 'Blue Screen' from happening when the pen touches the screen is gone.....However, I have no way of being able to use the Pen...it does not show any cursor or inking....Is there a specific DRIVER that I should be installing on my own to make this work properly - without getting the 'Blue Screen of Death' each time?....I really need some guidance on this issue. 
    PROBLEM # 2
    My Second issue, which is suddenly occured after day 2 of installing updates is the Lenovo System Update 4.01 -- Suddenly, after working on day 1 - now, whenever i try to 'Check New Updates' i get a popup that says "An error was detected with the Package catalog for your system on the System Update Server. Please contact the Support Center".
    I called techical support on the phone - and they made it seem like this was not their problem and they could not help me...The odd thing is, that this was working before, and now all of sudden it doesnt work...
    If someone can please advise me on what to do, especially with the Pen Driver problem, I would greatly appreciate it....Thanks!
    Solved!

    **FIXED IT** TWICE!
    I've been messing with this on multiple machines at my school.
    I was getting the BSOD, "no tablet installed" all that good stuff.
    I installed this, that and the other thing.
    After testing another machine, I read something in the BSOD that caught my attention.
    It mentions resetting the cache of the BIOS. I wasn't sure what that meant, or how to do it.
    But I was able to get into the BIOS (F1 on the Lenovo splash screen) and I just tapped F9 (load default Bios options -paraphrasing) Then I hit ESC- it prompts to save the settings, agree and let the computer continue to boot.
    I was able to test the Pen at the login screen. Just repeated this process on another X200 computer and it worked again.
    Try it.
    Good luck!

  • Why is Encore 6.0 giving me the "blue screen of death" when I try to create a menu?

    When I purchased my student edition 6.0 (which I love by the way), Encore did not have any of the libraries loaded up on it. After reading some discussions, I downloaded the missing folders.
    Now, when I try to create a menu, my computer shuts down and gives me "the blue screen of death" as they call it (a blue screen with white writting, counting up to 100%, and saying Windows is preparing to crash...or something about the hard drive crashing....I can't remember because it goes off the screen so quickly).
    I've done this several times - my computer only does this when I try to create a menu in encore, and not in any other part of encore. It hasn't happened in any of the other programs either (Premiere Pro and Audition are the only other programs I have used so far), or any other times I have my laptop.
    Because of this, I am not too concerned since it seems Encore is the problem. However, I do not want any other problems to escalade from this either.
    Am I doing something wrong? Can someone please help me? I'm working on my Senior Thesis (a video) this year, and I really really cannot afford to have my computer crash on me.
    Please and thank you,
    Meghin

  • Same problem everyone else is having with Blue screen of death

    Only I have a dell dimension e521 brand new computer have had for about 3 months now and my ipod worked fine until today. I plug it in the usb port and in about 5 minutes my computer will go to the blue screen of death. If I unplug the ipod I can work on my computer with no problems but the 5 minutes after plugging in the ipod the computer goes to BSOD. I am also working off of Windows Vista. Any fixes you can think of will be greatly appreciated. I saw other people where having similar problems but I didn't see anyone working off a dell.
    Thanks!

    Well I've tried PRETTY MUCH all of the suggested solutions. I really don't feel like going out and buying another SCI card for my laptop only to find out it doesn't fix the problem. Yes, I'm on a Dell Inspiron 4150 laptop, running XP and connecting the iPod through the USB port on the SCI card (it's a dual card, which also has a firewire port).
    I also don't feel like going through the hassle of buying a firewire cable only to find out that it doesn't fix anything either.
    I spent a good hour on the phone with Apple tech support and got nowhere. She had me uninstalling, re-installing, re-booting, running msconfig, turning off Norton, setting the iPod in "disk mode", uninstalling and reinstalling some more, etc. and in the end nothing made a difference!
    I can get the Updater to recognize the iPod, but when I click the "restore" button I keep getting that "can't mount iPod" error. (And I know for a fact that Windows is installed on the C Drive, so that can't be the problem.)
    This is so frustrating. The tech support lady said if the last thing didn't work (which it didn't) then to call them back and they would continue to try and figure out how to solve the problem.
    It really shouldn't be this complicated, should it? Why don't they make an iPod that is pre-formatted for use with a PC??

  • Blue Screen Of Death in AE

    Recently I rebuilt my PC to handle after effects a little better. I am running CS3 on windows XP 64 bit, however once I start working on a project for less than 30 minutes my system locks up and brings up the blue screen of death. It gives me a "Page_Fault_in_Nonpaged_Area" error. I ran several memory tests (all passed) and even messed with the page filing with no luck.
    The strange part is that when I switch over to my dual boot (windows vista 32bit), after effects works fine. Just not as fast. I reformatted twice with no prevail. I am really out of options here. If anyone can please offer some help i would really appreciate it. THANKS

    Well, not sure, what actually the error is. If it's a "Could not allocate memory for textures", you could try to increase the RAM usage for OpenGL in AE's preferences (Advanced button on the OpenGL page). However, AE is pretty stubborn in recognizing this, so it may not do anything. For most other errors, you will have to deal with the graphics card driver's settings on a manual basis, meaning you will have to create a custom setup. That is however beyond what this forum can provide, as it would require to know the exact current setup and driver options... What you definitely can do is check the overall video RAM allocation, meaning how much of it is already used in the initial config. This will give you a clue about how much is left for applications. I'd also completely turn off antialiasing. As I remember it, most ATI cards have the bad habit of having it enabled by default. This might also free up resources. The rest is in the dark. There certainly are ways to toy around with the front and back buffers and drawing delays, but as I said - without actually seeing what's going on, this is not going anywhere. And don't worry about your RAM and page file swelling - this is normal behavior and should not touch upon your other issues. Remember: Each and every frame you render, if only for previewing, will be stored in your RAM as long as this is possible. Windows in turn will park more memory pages in the swap file to compensate, hence the simultanous growth of both graphs.
