BSOD - 'Bad Pool Caller' error

[Smilemoar]

Hi,

I have been getting BSOD and occasional crash/restarts (with no BSOD) for at least a few months now. The exact cause of this is something I have no luck pinning down since very little on my computer has changed hardware wise and according to the device manager all my drivers are up to date :/

I have also noticed that my computer tends to quite sluggish when it reboots after such a crash has occurred. Since I am little clue how to read the minidump files, I have followed the forum instructions and uploaded a zip file with all the information gather by the SF tool contained within it.

So any help that can be given would be greatly appreciated

Avast! antivirus is contributing in your crashes. I'd suggest you to uninstall it and use Microsoft security essentials at least to test.

Do you have Daemon Tools installed?

Daemon Tools
Please uninstall DAEMON Tools. It uses a driver called sptd.sys which is known to cause BSODs in Windows 7. Uninstall the software using Add/Remove Programs. Reboot the system. Once the program is uninstalled, run sptd.sys uninstaller to remove the driver from your system.

As an alternative, many people recommend the use of Total Mounter or Magic ISO
