BSOD playing Dota error 0x00000019

Hi Joe, I would reseat your RAM sticks first, then run MEMTEST+, see the tutorial here:

RAM - Test with Memtest86+

A BAD POOL HEADER BSOD is typically a RAM issue.

Attached is Video Memory Stress Test application to also test your video card out as well.

Okay so I ran memtest for 14 passes with 0 errors so I don't think it's my ram. I'm going to try the video memory test now.

0 errors on VMT as well


Any other suggestions?

I'm sorry for the late reply but there's no need in bumping the thread.


Your bugcheck fairly common lately as nVidia is having issue with their 320.xx family of drivers,
being that your card is a 7xx series card unfortunately that is all that is available at the moment.

Code:

Name:    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760
Driver Version:    9.18.13.2049

Bugcheck:

Code:

BAD_POOL_HEADER (19)

Arguments:
Arg1: 0000000000000003, the pool freelist is corrupt.
Arg2: fffffa800b2d91a0, the pool entry being checked.
Arg3: fffffa800b2d9198, the read back flink freelist value (should be the same as 2).
Arg4: fffffa800b2d91a8, the read back blink freelist value (should be the same as 2).

• A pool header issue is a problem with Windows memory allocation. Device driver issues are probably the most common.

The culprit is right there is the stack, (although calling the RAW stack only confirms
its involvement in the crash).

Here's how we can try and mitigate the problem:

• Uninstall the nVidia display drivers and software using:
  
  • How do I uninstall my NVIDIA display drivers?
  • Follow though with a pass of Driver Sweeper.
  
  
• Install a the latest WHQL release:
  
  • Download - 326.80 - BETA
    When installing select Custom Settings and uncheck:
    
    3D Vision (all of them).
    HD Audio.
    Nvidia Updates.
    
    
    Do check Preform a clean installation.
  
  

If the PC still bugchecks remove the GPU physically from the machine
and use the on-board graphics.
When and if it will persist in producing bugchecks post the new .zip the SFDT generates
back here and we'll have a look :) .

Thanks for the feedback :) .

Are monitoring the temperatures in any way?

• Download Speccy and post a Screenshot of the summary window, one at idle and another while putting load on the PC using Prime95 for the CPU side and Furmark for the GPU.

Thanks :) .
Those temperatures are tolerable .
We know that the 700 series of GPUs are having issues with drivers currently.
Try to run on the integrated graphics for a while and see how it goes.

Keep the updates coming.
