Solved BAD_POOL_CALLER WIN7 Pro 64

[Tinsby]

Hello,

Initially I thought that the trouble was caused by the Avast Virus Scanner " Auto Sandbox" I disabled it but the BSOD'S continue.

There is no sense adding more software to this system until the problem is sorted out. I have a dual boot system with XP Pro as the other OS. I can easily blow out the partition for 7 and start over. But all I would be doing is repeating the same errors as before.

Very discouraging for a new install but I can do it again if that's what it takes to cure the problem.

Thank you in advance!

Hi,

Your dump does not give a probable cause but seems to hang at avast for some reason

Suggest you to uninstall it completely as it does contribute in BSoD problems.
Download and install free MSE, it's light and does not cause problems on the Windows 7 system. Make a full scan also.

Hi Kookkat77,

Yes I made the suggested changes and I have NO more BSOD'S! It's a shame because I like Avast and it always worked well on XP.

Currently running AVG with no troubles thank you!
