Bad_Pool_Header / Special_pool_Detected Memory Corruption BSOD

Dantheman77 · 13 Aug 2017

Hi guys, recently came across Bad Pool header / Special Pool Detected memory corruption BSOD after running Driver verifier last night (I have attached Dump file per instructions on here).

Anyways, I have run SFC disk check, memory test (both windows program and the other program) through about 12 passes, no errors. My video card drivers are up to date, I just do know what else could be causing this issue.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! :)

Hi Axe0, please see my profile and advise if this is enough info

See if updating, or reinstalling, the chipset drivers improves the stability.

Code:

4: kd> lmvm asmthub3
Browse full module list
start             end                 module name
fffff880`06672000 fffff880`06695000   asmthub3 T (no symbols)

Hi Axe, went to intel website and downloaded and installed the latest Z77 chipset drivers (INF) will keep my fingers crossed and advise if anymore issues, thanks for the help!

Just see I made a mistake, it isn't the chipset driver but USB 3.0 driver

Dantheman77 · 15 Aug 2017

Hi axe, can you please point me in the right direction on which USB 3.0 driver to install? There are two on motherboard website, intel and motherboard brand.
Thanks

You need the ASRock Asmedia USB driver.

Ok, I also read somewhere that the intel USB 3.0 drivers are also necessary because of the ports they use

From motherboard website:

- 2 x Rear USB 3.1 Gen1 ports by Intel® Z77, support USB 1.0/2.0/3.0 up to 5Gb/s
- 2 x Rear USB 3.1 Gen1 ports by ASMedia ASM1042, support USB 1.0/2.0/3.0 up to 5Gb/s
- 1 x Front USB 3.1 Gen1 header by Intel® Z77 (supports 2 USB 3.1 Gen1 ports), supports USB 1.0/2.0/3.0 up to 5Gb/s
