BAD_POOL_HEADER BSOD, not the first time computer has BSOD

As RAM sticks are showing errors, you have to change those. You may either try to determine which stick is bad actually by following the Part 3: If You Have Errors: of the tutorial RAM - Test with Memtest86+; or just plan to replace a new kit.

After this replacement, if those crashes continue to occur, you may need to perform the further tests. But, upto that point, let us know the results with the replacement RAM.

Dont be in a hurry, do it only when you will have the opportunity. :)

You are welcome. We are glad that we could help you.

If there is a further issue, let us know :)

It is caused by Ralink RT2860 series Wireless LAN Card (you may have a different manufacturer).

Hey guys,

I was installing a new graphics card driver (whilst doing other things like browsing the web and working on a word document) and the computer bsoded whilst installing the driver. I have previously had BSODs before such as BAD_POOL_HEADER and NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM. I would like to ask if anyone would know how to resolve this issue.

attached are the log files of previous and current bsods (current one titled 102813-97921-01)

ps: I have tried to use the SF Diagnostic tool following all instructions, but even after it's finished, no file appears in the desktop. (I have right clicked- run as admin and the .exe is in the desktop)

Thankyou in advance.
