BSOD Bad Pool Header 0x19

I have recently been experiencing a bad_pool_header BSOD.

I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.

It can be reproduced by opening firefox and navigating to a website, it does not seem to happen if i just leave my computer running.

I have attached the system dumps and perfmon reports.

BlueScreenView is saying that it is caused by ntfs.sys, ntoskrnl.exe, win32k.sys.

Here is some more info that is displayed when the system restarts from the crash:

Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: BlueScreen
OS Version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.256.1
Locale ID: 1033
Additional information about the problem:
BCCode: 19
BCP1: 0000000000000021
BCP2: FFFFF900C0BA4000
BCP3: 0000000000005150
BCP4: 69585300B0202F59
OS Version: 6_1_7600
Service Pack: 0_0
Product: 256_1

Even before we can begin to investigate the underlying cause we need to update these drivers from as far back as 2005

How To Find Drivers:

- 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.

- - The most common drivers are listed on this page: Driver Reference Driver Reference
- - Driver manufacturer links are on this page: Drivers and Downloads

WE wait for the next BSOD, then you upload the DMP and we can start looking for the true cause.
