Bad Pool Header and other Problems

Hi folks,

I stumbled over this forums while I was searching for any hints about an actual problem with my hardware. Here is what happend and happens.

- If I start the computer it hangs up at the DOS screen
- If I start the computer it hangs up at the logging screen if I wait too long
- Sometimes the computer freezes during the work
- During the last two weeks the computer restarted when I was opening windows live mail

What I did so far: Reinstalled most of the system drivers (did not work), ran Memtest (not a single error), checked the system for other problems, uninstalled everything I don't need. The System events show a constant problem with the ID

0x8000000000000002

The problem started at the 26th of September but so far I had no blue screen - until today. The message that showed up was

0x00000019: BAD_POOL_HEADER

I followed the instructions at the pinned thread and packed all the files to a zip. For a better system overview I Created also a dxdiag file.

any idea?

Greetings, PunK

Thanks for the warm welcome :)

Before the problems went worse Kaspersky crashed several times at the startup. I forget to mention this point at the initial posting. So I've updated the Realtek Drivers, removed Kaspersky, and replaced it with MSE. I'll have a close look at the system stability during the next days.

Hello again,

the changes didn't solve the problem. Although I ran Memtest the problem might be the RAM. Just ten minutes ago I had another BSOD. This time with a complete new error Message directly when I started the PC. And there was one thing I didn't realized until now:

The System said 4096MB

and crashed with the BSOD. I rebooted the PC and now the System says 2048MB at the startup. Same game at the system overview: 4GB RAM, 1,99GB usable. Looks like one of the two bars is over :/

Does it make sense to upload another Dump?

Hi Jonathan, hi all,

sorry for the late reply. During the last weeks I was struggeling with the memory issue. I'v checked the sticks by using just one but it didn't solve the problem so I subtituted both sticks with new ones. Nothing changed so I started searching the worldwide forums. It seems that the memory problem is very popular with this board and from what I've written it is caused by the cooler

P55-CD53 RAM Problem, - "Hardware reserved"?!
MSI P55-CD53 reports 1.99 Gb memory usable 4Gb installed after OC
Sudden Problems with P55-GD65
P55-CD53: only 4 from 8 GB RAM are usable on 64 bit Linux
Can´t use all my ram. *Solved*

I disassembled the whole PC and reinstalled the cooler. Unfortunately without any effort. It took me some weeks to read about the tips and try them all and now I'm a bit perpelexed. I've had no BSDs since I replaced the cooler mid january while the memory was still not avaible but it worked at least... until today. The next BSD appeared. This time another one

Stop 0x00000050 ntfs.sys

:/

Any ideas or tips. I'm at my wits' end...

Hi Jonathan,

SP 1 is already installed. I've checked Ntfs.sys with Driver verifier and had no errrors. Same for all drivers which are not released by microsoft :)

Roger that. I might disable the pc again and attach a new cooler. Full memory would be nice :)
