Solved Assortment of Different BSOD's - Started off with BAD_POOL_HEADER

[mattritchie]

I was having BSOD's for a couple of months, finally got time to look into it. I had two dead hard drives inside my case, still connected. I assumed they were the culprit for the BSOD's, but i've removed them.

I also migrated my c drive to an SSD. my original master drive had a c and d partition. i'm still running the drive, just with the original c: unmapped.

I've been running Driver Verifier, that has caused some BSOD's.

I upgraded my nvidia drivers yesterday, which seemed to stop the BSOD's. I left my machine on overnight successfully without a BSOD last night. but ever since when i've rebooted into non-safe-mode i'm getting more failures.

i've also run malwarebytes over my machine and i'm clean.

I'm investigating DDU v13 and VIPRERescue, which i've found through this forum and i'm about the run them

Attached are my SF logs, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Matt
