random bluescreens ntoskrnl.exe

well, i reformatted and decided 6 gigs wasnt enough, so i bought 8gigs and used the 2 newer sticks of the 2 gig ram for a total of 12 gigs. this has been running well for a couple days. the only issue i have had now was a bluescreen caused by device manager, when i try to open it i get an error message microsoft manangement console has stopped working. and shortly there after i get a black screen (no blue) and on restart it says that there was a crash and nirsofts program pointed me to the management program.

attached is the dump.

ps. the ram testing showed no errors, faults, or anything, so I'm not sure if it was the reformat, or the ram change.

BAD_POOL_HEADER (19)
The pool is already corrupt at the time of the current request.
This may or may not be due to the caller.
The internal pool links must be walked to figure out a possible cause of
the problem, and then special pool applied to the suspect tags or the driver
verifier to a suspect driver.
Arguments:
Arg1: 0000000000000003, the pool freelist is corrupt.
Arg2: fffff80002c1dc30, the pool entry being checked.
Arg3: 0000000005420000, the read back flink freelist value (should be the same as 2).
Arg4: fffff80002c1dc30, the read back blink freelist value (should be the same as 2).

The crash was from eight days ago. It points to a USB device or port problem.


I also see

Code:

AODDriver2	fffff880`03824000	fffff880`03855000	Mon Dec 19 00:30:03 2011 (4eeee7fb)	00018588		AODDriver2.sys

on your system, which is known to cause conflicts. Remove AMD Overdrive, EasyTune6, or Vision Engine Control Center, whichever applies.


For the USB issues:

• Start with USB Driver - General Fix for Problems to resolve the USB issues. Also, USB ports can sometimes enter a safe power state to protect the system from power surges due to USB devices. To reset the USB ports to a nominal power state, use a hard reset to resolve hardware and software issues which works for all computers, not just HP Pavilions (minus the HP driver update step).

yeah, the usb thing wont work, because i cannot open device manager and that might have been an isolated event due to not having the usb3 drivers installed.

and netr28x.sys is the ralink wireless card, that i forgot to unplug when i reformatted (it never worked right)

A few things that might cause device manager to fail:

• Registry corruption (usually due to running a registry cleaner)
• A bad install or corrupted Windows files
• Application or service conflicting with the system

Have you run any registry cleaners that might have caused Windows to stop working properly?

Check for corrupted Windows files:

• Run SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker up to three times to fix all errors with a restart in between each. Post back if it continues to show errors after a fourth run or if the first run comes back with no integrity violations.

Troubleshoot Application Conflicts by Performing a Clean Startup to see if there is an application or service preventing device manager from running.

no registry cleaners, would have not been necessary i got that bsod the day i reformatted running the scan.

I thought as much, but I wanted to make sure anyway. Thanks. Let us know how the other steps go.

scan found corrupt files and on restart i was able to open device manager

Excellent news! See how the system responds during your typical use for a while and post back whether the problems are solved. Let us know if you need anything further. :)

will do, and thanks for all the help! you have been most patient.

You're welcome. :) Glad I could help.
