Random BSOD, need help identifying driver
I was getting constant BSODs back in March (MEMORY_MANAGEMENT, paging errors, etc), and eventually identified the problem as a faulty stick of RAM. I got it replaced and thought the problem would be solved.
Since I installed the new RAM modules (I wasn't using my PC during the RMA process, because I didn't have a temporary replacement), I have been getting BSODs (IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, DRIVER_CORRUPTED_XPOOL) that are likely due to driver issues, but they always point to ntoskrnl. It's probably obvious from my dump files, but the error almost always occurs at the stack address: ntoskrnl.exe+72a40. A few days ago, I did an error check on my C: drive, although I'm not entirely sure of the results, because I started it before I went to bed and it had rebooted to my desktop by the time I got up. In the log files, there should be a break in the crashes between 4/20 and today, the days after the disk check, when the BSODs stopped (until today).
The most recent crash (BAD_POOL_HEADER) happened during my first attempt at creating this account was caused by win32k.sys.
