    Random "Bad Pool Header" and "System Service Exception" BSODs


    I have been getting these "Bad Pool Header" and "System Service Exception" BSODs for about a day now (the "Bad Pool Header" one tends to pop up more often then the other btw). I ran a registry cleaner which didn't work and ran memtest this morning and it showed that my memory was fine. The BSODs tend to occur more often when I am playing a game or running some program that uses a bit more memory but it also happens when I am just on the internet. On the other hand, last night I did nothing but surf YouTube for 3 hours and didn't get a BSOD at all. However, since then I haven't been able to do anything for more than 10 minutes (without being in safe mode) without it crashing, and this morning it completely froze until I turned it off. My OS is Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. It came preinstalled from the manufacturer and unfortunately I do not have the install disc. The entire laptop is less than 2 years old and there have been no major hardware changes and I have never reinstalled the OS.

    UPDATE: Another BSOD just happened after I left the computer idle for a couple of hours except this one said something about Asdsm.sys.

    Problem Devices:
    Code:
    BT-253	USB\VID_0B05&PID_1751\0025D3B091E8	This device is disabled.
    Security Processor Loader Driver	ROOT\LEGACY_SPLDR\0000	This device is not present, is not working properly, or does not have all its drivers installed.
    sptd	ROOT\LEGACY_SPTD\0000	This device is not present, is not working properly, or does not have all its drivers installed.
    VMware VMCI Host Device	ROOT\VMWVMCIHOSTDEV\0000	This device is disabled.
    Please remove any CD/DVD virtualization software, such as Daemon Tools/Alcohol 120%, as they use a driver called sptd.sys that is known to cause BSODs. Use add/remove programs to remove the software. After removing the software, use the sptd.sys uninstaller to remove sptd.sys from the system.

    I prefer TotalMounter as my CD/DVD virtualization software as it allows me to burn images to a virtual CD/DVD if I just want an ISO file instead of a disc, and it is free.

    Many use MagicISO - Convert BIN to ISO, Create, Edit, Burn, Extract ISO file, ISO/BIN converter/extractor/editor as well, which is also free.


    Security Software: ??? I recommend either of these two setups:
    Download and install the security setup of your choice, update the software, and then run a full scan of your system for viruses and malware. If you only install MSE, I would also suggest installing and updating Malwarebytes : Free anti-malware, anti-virus and spyware removal download, but do not start the free trial/full version of Malwarebytes. Run a full scan with Malwarebytes after updating it. Post back the results.


    Asus Data Security Manager caused the latest crash if Asdsm.sys was to blame.

    Your crashes are all over the map, which generally indicates a hardware fault. However, since this just happened within the past couple days, I suspect something else at work. Did you change any hardware or software before this started occurring?


    If you cannot determine the cause and the virus/malware scans do not reveal anything, you could backup all your important data and proceed with the factory image recovery: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. -Support- Troubleshooting G51J: How to Recover Your Notebook PC

    Thanks for the help but I actually ended up finding my OS disc and just reinstalled Windows 7, it seemed like a more expedient solution than tracking down some buggy driver. I haven't got any crashes so far so it looks like it worked.

    Good to see! A fresh install of Windows is always a good troubleshooting step. Nice work.
