Appearing Random BSOD's - STOP 0x00000019

[Callump01]

Alright, this BSOD has been plaguing me for some time now and after numerous attempts to fix this I eventually gave up until now. Enough's Enough and it's time to get it fixed.

Mostly it's BAD_POOL_ERROR but I sometimes get a few other varieties of error codes. Very odd.
Hopefully, the attachments contain all the details needed!

Hello Callump and welcome to Sevenforums.

:ar: BSOD ANALYSE

Nvidia Drivers

It seems like you've updated your Nvidia-driver somewhere in June by looking at it's timestamp. Your dump, roughly, contains a causer on nvlddmkm.sys (Nvidia Graphic Driver). I will let you know a safe way to get rid of this current Graphic Driver, and have no left-over files after your installation. Left-over files is in-length quite bad to have on the computer.

Driver Sweeper is a left-over cleaner.

A fresh driver

i) Make your way to Nvidia Driver- page
ii) Uninstall the one you currently have and all its extensions
iii) Download Driver Sweeper
iv) Get to safe mode (without network) and search for Driver Sweeper in your rb:
v) Select all ATI components and analyse them
vi) Clean them, head into Windows without internet and download the driver).

Here's the code for the interested ones.
Code

BAD_POOL_HEADER (19)
The pool is already corrupt at the time of the current request.
This may or may not be due to the caller.
The internal pool links must be walked to figure out a possible cause of
the problem, and then special pool applied to the suspect tags or the driver
verifier to a suspect driver.
Arguments:
Arg1: 0000000000000020, a pool block header size is corrupt.
Arg2: fffffa8000149960, The pool entry we were looking for within the page.
Arg3: fffffa800014a260, The next pool entry.
Arg4: 00000000049004c0, (reserved)

Best of luck Callump!

Also, is it a paid or the free version of AVG you're having?

It was the paid version, however the license expired at the end of this month so there's no worries there.

Time for an update anyway, no BSOD's so far!
Thanks once again.

If it's simply fixed by doing a fresh install of a Graphic Driver, it's very sweet.

Best Regards,
Frederik.

 

[Callump01]

Alrighty, just got yet another BSOD (On my birthday!). It's a shame because I really thought it was fixed.
Anyway... Attached is the dump.

Hello Callump,

Go to C:\Windows\Drivers and see if there's any of these drivers listed.

1. avgfwd6a.sys
2. avgfwd6x.sys
3. AVGIDSDriver.sys
4. avgidsdrivera.sys
5. AVGIDSEH.Sys

Best Regards,
Frederik.

The drivers folder was in C:\Windows\System32\drivers and not C:\Windows\drivers.
But to answer your question, I just checked and none of those drivers exist there.

 

[Callump01]

Still getting this problem, just got another one.
At the time I was actually loading up a map in Garry's Mod whilst chatting to a friend over Steam chat. Not sure if that helps in the diagnostic somehow.

Anyway, here's the dump.

Do you still have AVG installed by the chance of it?
Try to run the utility and see if it accepts uninstalling AVG.

I uninstalled it completely already, but just for good measure I'll run the removal tool.
EDIT: The removal tool couldn't even find AVG or it's Drivers, so I guess it's already gone.

Hey Callump,

I believe it's time for a Memtest86+ run then!

Looking at your bugcheck it's likely that a memory corruption event were there. Though a driver could be causing the memory to be borked, but we're usually suggesting a memory test before moving forward. Do a scan with Memtest86+. Memtest is a scanner that'll check your sticks for errors. To ensure that we'll know if it's the slots on the motherboard that's broken, or the sticks itself - we have a little procedure we'll recommend. Remove 1 stick, scan the other with Memtest in the current slot. After 7 passes, move the stick to another slot and scan, and so on and so forth until you've scanned all the sticks, and all the slots, one by one.

Just installed Memtest on a USB Flash Drive, but I tried to run it and it simply didn't show. My TV then said "Invalid Format" as if it couldn't read it.

I don't know what to do anymore with this.

 

[FredeGail]

Why your TV?

Hehe, I don't have a Monitor so I have a VGA Cable leading to my 32 inch LCD HDTV

 

[FredeGail]

Oh alright.

Make sure that your USB is empty. And remember it's the USB image you should download, not the regular iso.
