    Unable to shutdown or restart w/o BSOD


    just happened today

    everytime i wanted to restart, it came up with this BSOD

    SPECIAL_POOL_DETECTED_MEMORY_CORRUPTION

    ran memtest for 7 passes with no error

    seems like all my recent bsods are memory related. i dont have any spare rams to try.

    any help much appreciated. im getting tired with all the recent bsods.

    thanks !!

    Do you realize you have driver verifier running?

    It may in itself be the cause.

    Related to gdrv.sys Microsoft Register Server.

    I would run a sfc just to check the OS

    Run a system file check to verify and repair your system files.
    To do this type cmd in search, then right click to run as administrator, then
    SFC /SCANNOW

    It may need to be run up to three times before sucessful

    Read here for more information SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

    Let us know the results from the report at the end.
