Windows 7: Random "Bad_Pool_Header" BSODs

tehdigester · 25 Mar 2014

Hi again guys,

So my 2013 macbook pro with windows 8.1 has been crashing quite a lot recently.

I know a bad pool header can mean a bunch of things. I hope you guys will be able to help me out as I cant find any pattern to these bsods whatsoever, just using chrome, facebook app or calander app and bam, giant blue sad face.

Thanks!

Hi tehdigester.

Uninstall NetLimiter and other similar bandwidth controllers. They always cause BSODs. Your case is not any exception.

Let us know the results.

*** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for nldrv.sys
*** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for nldrv.sys

Probably caused by : nldrv.sys ( nldrv+50cc )

It is here: c:\program files\locktime software\netlimiter 4\nldrv.sys

Hey Arc,

Thanks very much for that, removing netlimiter seems to have done the trick! (I wasnt even using it and it wasnt running afaik, but i guess it was still being a bit dodgy in the background!)

Thank you very much

Good news. :)

I have seen you have installed some other bandwidth monitoring program, too. Take care of those too, otherwise they may start causing the same issue.

Yep, i also have nettraffic installed (which i actually use), for now i havent had a bsod but if another one pops up i'll be sure to uninstall it as well. Thanks again!

You are welcome. :)

Let us know for any further issue.
