We do need the actual log files (called a DMP files) as they contain the only record of the sequence of events leading up to the crash, what drivers
were loaded, and what was responsible.
Please follow our instructions for finding and uploading the files we need to help you fix your computer. They can be found here

Hi,
After analyze your dump file, I noticed that this issue is related to the graphic card driver and NVIDIA GeForce Experience.
Please update the graphic driver and block NvBackend.exe in Startup process to see what's going on.

BSOD with both Kernal Security Check Error and Bad Pool Header.

All -
I have a HP DV7 laptop with Windows 8.1. It has BSOD with both Kernal Security Check Error and Bad Pool Header.
Despite doing all the built in HP tests, there is nothing. Using an Anker HardDrive Dock results in the identical errors on another machine.
Bottom line, even if I could see the DMP files (which I cannot); because the machine fails to boot, there are no files to be copied.
I have tried various AIO and UEFI disks and USB, and the laptop NEVER accepts the PREINSTALL environment. Being unable to use the Anker has never happened. I seem completely locked out of the drive. Any suggestions? Thx.
Bruce A Ades

Hi Texas_Bruiser
Some required details are needed for us to help you.
Ensure that the BIOS/UEFI has been configured to allow boot from DVD/CD or USB.
When you attempted to boot into PREINSTALL environment (PE) by using disks or USB, we need more details about error message or what happened?
If your computer cannot even boot into Windows PE by using installation media, we suggest you check if memory and other hardware are works properly on this computer. Also try to plug this hard disk on other computer as data volume, see if the hard disk works.

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.

CS6 (64 bit) crashes 'Bad Pool Header'

Hi All,
I just installed Photoshop CS6 International English and the 13_0_1_1 update.
Bridge standard and 64 bit both work. CS6 standard works. CS6 64 bit crashes with a blue screen 'Bad Pool Header'.
I reinstalled CS6 and the update. No change.
Windows and all drivers are up to date.
I have been using Photoshop for many years - starting with v 6. I have been using CS5 64 bit on this system since it came out with no problems. CS5 64 bit is still working with CS6 installed.
CS6 64 bit is the only program to have ever given me this error on any computer I have ever had.
Custom built system:
Asus motherboard M4A78-e
AMD Phenom 9950 quad 2.61 GHz
8 GB 1066 MHz Corsair ram
Ati Radeon Sapphire Vapor-X HD4890 1GB memory
Enermax Revolution 85+ power supply
Zalman CPU 9950 fan
Lian-Li PC60FN case
Windows xp professional x64 service pack 2.
Thank you for taking the time to read about my problem and thank you in advance for any suggestions.

Dear Mylenium,
I can see from your profile you have been very active on this forum for many years and have undoubtedly helped too many people to count. However, your certainty and negativity belies my experience, both with CS 5 64 bit and with CS 6 Bridge 64 bit, as you can see from my initial post.
I took your suggestion and opened the Event Viewer. There were no logs to read. I looked in the properties of each of the log types in the events window and went to windows\system32\config\ just to be sure. Is there anything I can do to trigger creatitng an event log or should I look to finding the info in some other way or place?
Thank you for taking the time to respond.

Tools used:
Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2013
Remote Debugger Monitor (Surface RT 8.1)
I have successfully activated the developer license as administrator.
I have attempted to run the test app on remote device but my pc crashes before or when reaching certification.
So far, I have attempted to run an app software for the ARM device; however, ever since I have upgraded the surface to 8.1, I constantly get the bad pool header crash, even after successfully connecting the pc to rt device.
is there any way I can resolve the issue so I can successfully to remote debugging?
any help is appreciated.

Error Bad Pool Header

I have had
frequent crashes (windows 8)
with the message Bad Pool Header
Looks like tel something to do with
the network card, it only happens
when I'm using wifi and I'm a bit
far from the router, with a slightly
weaker signal.
Is it related?
What do I do to solve?
My laptop is a Dell Inspiron

Thank you.

Not a problem! Luckily, in this case, it appears that a kernel-dump won't be necessary.
We have a few bug checks:

^^ The pool block we're looking at within the pool page belongs to LKsc (unknown). When the owning component is unknown and it alerts to update the pooltag, it's generally a 3rd party driver causing corruption.

^^ The driver(s) which appeared to have attributed to the corruption are Kaspersky drivers, with
klwfp.sys (the one that caused the pool corruption) specifically being the Network Filtering Component driver for Kaspersky.

This indicates that a kernel-mode driver attempted to access pageable memory at a process IRQL that was too high.
A driver tried to access an address that is pageable (or that is completely invalid) while the IRQL was too high. This bug check is usually caused by drivers that have used improper addresses.

Remove and replace Kaspersky with Windows 8's built-in Windows Defender for temporary troubleshooting purposes as it appears to be causing NETBIOS conflicts:

Pavilion dv6-3130tx Blue Screen (BSOD) on adding RAM to second slot

Hi there,
I own a HP Pavilion dv6-3130tx with total of 3gb of RAM, one 1GB chip and one 2 GB chip. Recently I have been getting a lot of system crashes/freezes and occasional Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) with a variety of error messages. On contacting HP care in India they said to check the RAM chips and the slot for any problem. I have identified that the second slot is one creating the problem as the system crashes if use any one of the chips on that slot while both the RAMs work fine on the other slot.
Additionaly the RAM port/slot cannot be replaced as such, and since it is out of warranty getting the motherboard replaced isn't an alternative either.
So does anyone have any idea what might be the best way out of this problem?

Did the 3GB of RAM come with the computer or did you upgrade it at some point?
What version of Windows are you using?

Tips for blue screen (BSOD) errors with Windows Vista and Intel Turbo Memory on T61/T61p

Important note: The symptoms and solutions described below address only a small subset of the possible causes for blue screen errors, aka BSOD. This information can help address blue screen errors specifically related to Turbo Memory, but may not solve errors related to other issues. Please read through the instructions completely, make sure they apply to your system, and after attempting the solutions please post back with your feedback for the community.
Some users may experience random blue screen errors with ThinkPad
systems running Windows Vista with Intel Turbo Memory hardware. These
blue screens may occur during normal usage on the system or they may
occur when booting into Windows Vista. Blue screens related to the
Intel Turbo Memory hardware may reference a stop code of 8086 with
memory address locations of {0, 0, 0, 0}.
There are two main steps that you can take to help resolve blue screen issues related to Intel Turbo Memory.
Step 1: Update Intel Turbo Memory Driver
If the driver version is before version 1.0.1.1004-7.0.3.1001, please
update to this version.
To determine what version of the Intel Turbo Memory driver is installed:
1.    Click Start, then click Control Panel.
2.    Click System and Maintenance.
3.    Click System.
4.    Click Device Manager.
5.    Expand the Storage controllers category.
6.    Double-click Intel Flash Cache Logic Chip.
7.    Click the Driver tab. Then you will see the driver version (for example, 1.0.1.1004).
The new driver and installation instructions can be found here.
Note: The Intel Matrix Storage Driver is updated with this package.
Step 2: BIOS version
If your BIOS version is older than those listed below, please update to the version listed.
How to check your BIOS version:
Turn off the system.
Turn on the system.
While the To interrupt normal startup, press the blue ThinkVantage button message is displayed at the lower-left area of the screen, press the F1 key.
The
BIOS Setup Utility menu will be displayed. If you have set a supervisor
password, the BIOS Setup Utility menu appears after you enter the
password.
Check BIOS Version and Embedded Controller Version.
Turn off the system.
System BIOS versions:
ThinkPad T61/T61p (14.1 inch widescreen with IEEE 1394 model) - BIOS version 1.22 (7LET52WW)
Please
remember that these updates do not solve every possible system blue
screen, but they do resolve several problems related to the Intel Turbo
Memory driver.

Thanks Tim,
I do have my T61p fully up-to-date to the latest drivers and updates (via System Update and the Drivers&Software web page when the former is not that up-to-date).
At the moment the most recurrent problem is this:

which has been longly speculated here:

My other angst is the boot-time chkdsk hang-up problem:
http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?t=52765&highlight=chkdsk
I just wonder if this purely a Vista issue when using NV cache, the disk spinning down at almost exactly 1 hour from the beginning of the chdsk operation seems too much of a coincidence.
This is my T61p configuration:

Dear Tim,
First off, many thanks for the tips for resolving BSOD with Vista + Turbo Memory on X61. I've been suffering from this BSOD for countless times since I bought in my X61 7673-CW9 in April 2008.
Even prior to having the pleasure to visit this wonderful forum, I followed both steps as indicated, and updated my Intel Turbo Memory driver to 1.5.0.1013 and my BIOS to 7NETB4WW (2.14). However, the BSOD recurrs.
For the past two months, I've recovered my system to factory default settings using Rescue and Recovery for over twenty times, each time with the latest Intel Turbo Memory driver and BIOS. Notwithstanding that, BSOD recurrs.
During these painful experiences, I tried two options: 1) making my X61 up-to-date by using System Update and Windows Update (including Vista SP1 or excluding Vista SP1); 2) keeping my X61 the status as factory default (i.e. without updating through either System Update or Windows Update (the automatic/scheduled update function of both is turned off)). In either case, BSOD recurrs.
I'm 100% positive that the BSOD does not arise from any hardware or software/firmware I install. I never install any hardware (e.g. RAM). And, it is not caused by any software/firmware I install: the clear and unequivocal evidence is that at one time,I encountered BSOD while having restored back to factory setting and booting for the first time.
I live in Taiwan, and I seldom heard this BSOD here.  All of my friends (as most of Taiwan residents) using X61 operate in Traditional Chinese environment, whereas I operate in English environment. In Taiwan, when booting for the first time after purchase/recovery, the Windows Vista Business system provides for lanuage choice (Traditional Chinese or English), and, once chosen, the language cannot be altered later on (unless, of course, the system is restored back to factory default settings).
My system specs are the same as the day I purchased it and are listed below (as I'm not sure if my machine type X61 7673-CW9 is applicable outside Taiwan):
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T8300 @ 2.4GHz
Memory: 1.00 G.B.
System: Windows Vista Business (32-bit)
Hard Drive: 160 G.B. @ 7,200 r.p.m.
And, of course, with Intel Turbo Memory 1 G.B.
I contacted the Lenovo support staff here in Taiwan for countless times, but they seem to be clueless. I learned that some friends at this forum downgraded their OS back to Windows XP, but I chose not to. The reason is simple: my purchase price for X61 7673-CW9 includes the Intel Turbo Memory, which cannot function under Windows XP (at least so far).
Therefore, I just wish to share my experience here and perhaps I can get some advice from you and other friends here. Any advice will be tremendously and enormously appreciated.

Computer Blue Screens (BSOD) Upon Video Download Completion

Every time I try and download a TV Show from the music store, the download will start and finish with no problem but upon completion I see the progress bar at the top of the screen change from the download progress bar to the other (likely file-moving) progress bar and my computer immediately blue screens. Windows gives me the standard "serious error" message at startup, and the error report returns nothing.
I have tried downloading the latest version of iTunes which includes the latest version of Quicktime and the same thing happens. A friend of suggested disabling hyper-threading, so I did that and I still get the same problem.
Does anybody know what the problem might be? Any help I can get would be appreciated. Thanks!

Exactly the same problem - while running FF4 after a minute or two the screen goes black for 10 seconds or so and then I get BSOD mentioning the atikmpag.sys as the culprit. I have the ATI Radeon HD4850 with the 8.831.2.0 driver (installed by Windows Update). There is a newer driver - but I have had problems with Windows 7 32 bit and the ATI drivers constantly so only upgrade when it appears in Windows Update. No problems with the same machine running Windows XP or Ubuntu. I have uninstalled FF4 and gone back to 3.6 as I have no issues with that version of the browser.

Slow restart - blue screen BSOD and Boot Camp restart issue

After Snow Leopard install on Macbook Pro I have experienced a very slow startup and restart. The grey apple screen appears for about 25 secs and then the blue screen hangs for 2mins and 2 secs. Also when restarting from Boot Camp blue screen just stays and restart fails. I waited approx 25 mins and blue screen was still there. I have searched Console system log for clues but am not technically adept. hopefully someone can help. I have copied log below form recent restart (in OSX mode, not boot camp). My Windows Boot camp volume is called ERICGLPC and I can see some issue on the log but unsure what it means.

Your Mac may have if you didn't erase the log files
Without that, it could have been anything.

Blue Screen BSOD need Help!

Hi,
my Thinkpad SL510 is giving me a blue screen and a black box in the middle of the screen.
I had or still have the 'Mobogenie virus" on my computer and downloaded and run 'Spyhunter 4'
which found a lot of things, but upon restarting I now have this issue.
Also, the cursor is showing that something is active, i.e. it is 'circling'
I am currently using a different computer, so can't download new drivers.
I went into Rescue and Recovery and ran a lot of tests, but no errors found.
What would be the next best step?
Thanks ever so much, gis

wanted to write that if the pointer is inside that box, then it turns and is a cycle, but when outside of the box, the pointer looks like a pointer, i.e. an arrow.
But now the computer is clearing up, so it might have been to do with something still working, so for now at least all is well.
Thanks and bye
