I tried debugging this on my own, but with little success (obviously don't know what I am doing. Best as I can tell its related to a NTOSKRNL.EXE which google tells me is a keyboard issue.
Can anyone help me please?
I get random blue screens with a bad pool caller? Prior to this there was no real system action. Afterwards I updated all my drivers and Windows updates and I still got a blue screen.

These both were related to a memory exception caused by an un-named driver. Please do the following
1-Download a copy of Memtest86 and burn the ISO to a CD using Iso Recorder or another ISO burning program.
Boot from the CD, and leave it running for at least 5 or 6 passes.
Just remember, any time Memtest reports errors, it can be either bad RAM or a bad motherboard slot.
Test the sticks individually, and if you find a good one, test it in all slots.
2-Driver verifier
3-Update the old drivers listed belowI'd suggest that you first backup your stuff and then make sure you've got access to another computer so you can contact us if problems arise. Then make a System Restore point (so you can restore the system using the Vista/Win7 Startup Repair feature).
In Windows 7 you can make a Startup Repair disk by going to Start....All Programs...Maintenance...Create a System Repair Disc - with Windows Vista you'll have to use your installation disk or the "Repair your computer" option at the top of the Safe Mode menu .
Then, here's the procedure:
- Go to Start and type in "verifier" (without the quotes) and press Enter
- Select "Create custom settings (for code developers)" and click "Next"
- Select "Select individual settings from a full list" and click "Next"
- Select everything EXCEPT FOR "Low Resource Simulation" and click "Next"
- Select "Select driver names from a list" and click "Next"
Then select all drivers NOT provided by Microsoft and click "Next"
- Select "Finish" on the next page.
Reboot the system and wait for it to crash to the Blue Screen. Continue to use your system normally, and if you know what causes the crash, do that repeatedly. The objective here is to get the system to crash because Driver Verifier is stressing the drivers out. If it doesn't crash for you, then let it run for at least 36 hours of continuous operation (an estimate on my part).
If you can't get into Windows because it crashes too soon, try it in Safe Mode.
If you can't get into Safe Mode, try using System Restore from your installation DVD to set the system back to the previous restore point that you created.

How To Find Drivers:- - The most common drivers are listed on this page: Driver Reference http://www.carrona.org/dvrref.html- search Google for the name of the driver
- compare the Google results with what's installed on your system to figure out which device/program it belongs to
- visit the web site of the manufacturer of the hardware/program to get the latest drivers (DON'T use Windows Update or the Update driver function of Device Manager).
- if there are difficulties in locating them, post back with questions and someone will try and help you locate the appropriate program.
- - Driver manufacturer links are on this page: http://www.carrona.org/drvrdown.html
Thank you for the quick response. I will begin diagnostics tomorrow. Thank you. I will report back with my results.
Ok, I ran 10 passes of memtest86 on each stick (2) No errors.
I did the driver verifier and my computer would crash in both Windows Normal and Safe Mode.
I had to keep rolling back with restore, so I am including a new minidump for further help. I also uninstalled all old software in hopes that one of those drivers would be the culprit, but so far no luck. AVG would not properly uninstall (something with the installation), so I will try that too.
Please help. I am very frustrated and really want to avoid having to reformat.
