    Constant BSOD memory_management & bad_pool_header


    also PFN_list_corupt

    I'm really unsure about whats wrong with my computer. I built it myself a little less than a year ago, and it just recently started crashing all the time. It started around the time I installed a driver for the tascam US-800 (which was nothing but problems) but after uninstalling that driver, re-installing the OS, and changing my HDD I just don't know what to do.

    I have done the standard windows memory diagnostic check, whatever its technical name is, and it said that it had found no errors.

    All help is appreciated,

    Thank you

    Also, I tried to fallow the instructions to posting here but every time I ran the application it blue screened.

    Hi.

    Remove Avira from your system.


    Download and install Microsoft Security Essentials.



    Reda carefully the tutorial,then run MEMTEST.


    Let it run until at least 7 passes are completed, or errors are found (whichever comes first). The longer you run it, the better.



    Also you can read here how to protect your system easy and free.


    Good and Free system security combination.


    Finish and post back.

    I'm doing as you suggested, but just for the record the crashes have been happening before Avira was ever on my computer.

    I'll post an update on the MEMTEST asap

    Sorry I took so long, I had a hard time getting a hold of a flash drive to do the test.

    Bad news, I ran the MEMTEST and about 32% through the test a bunch of errors started happening, by the time I had stopped the test it had found over 40,000 errors.

    Where do I go from here?

    Thats mean you have faulty ram or faulty motherboard ram slot.

    I only have one RAM stick (4GB) and the motherboard manual says it's in the right place.

    Ok,the test that one stick of ram.

    Plug the ram and run the memtest,then plug the ram in the second slot and run the memtest etc

    First test was done in slot one,
    Wouldn't boot from slot two,
    Tested slot three and at 21% I got a bunch of errors (when i rebooted it was in the 30,000's),
    Wouldn't boot from slot four.
