ntoskrnl.exe (Bad Pool Header) BSOD Debugging Help Request

Hi and a very happy and prosperous 2013 to everybody,

I'm at my wits' end trying to figure out ntoskrnl.exe (Bad Pool Header) BSODs I'm having and cannot pinpoint to a program, driver or else. I've attached herein as advised the SF_DD_MM_YYYY.zip file and the minidumps files for your review. Thanks all for your help.

Hard to tell from just two dumps but it seems to be the following driver that's causes the problems:

Marvell Yukon 88E8056 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller
fffff880`04a78000 fffff880`04adc000 yk62x64 Wed May 20 10:14:06 2009 (4A13BBCE)

Also Uninstall MagicISO & PowerISO and update the following drivers:

Hi Tobias,

Thank you for the fast reply. I did the following:

______________________
» For the nVidia driver, I updated with GeForceION Driver Release 310.70 (12/17/2012) but upon restarting, I got a new BSOD and had to restore my system to a back-up image. I've collected the new dump (010213-41839-01 from 2013-01-02 14h44min) and new SF_DD_MM_YYYY for review.

______________________
» Uninstalled the following:
MagicISO
PowerISO
WinMount3
(and other unused software)

______________________
» This belongs to a SATA controller card with a VIA chipset that is not present anymore in my system. Should I delete this driver and all its related files with the same name (.inf, .sys...) all together?

» As to the following drivers, I could not update them because I've tried in the past and the hardware stopped working so I rolled back to the latest one that worked:

» Logitech has two versions of the GamePanel software, a Legacy and Current. I have the latest version of the former installed and as the the latter, it has plenty of problems (their forum is full of threads on this) that I prefer to stick to the legacy version. The proof being that Logitech has two official versions for this driver to counteract the issues.

Thanks for your help.

Well if vsmraid isn't used anymore it should be safe to uninstall it, RawDisk is probably part of a backup or defrag program.

The Marvell NIC driver is a bigger problem as it seems to have caused the latest BSOD too, try to find a newer working version.

Just got a ntoskrnl.exe (Bad Pool Header) BSOD despite the aforementioned driver updates and removal of some unused programs

I'm attaching the new debug files for review. Thanks for the help.
