While streaming some video, I get a 'Bad Pool Header' BSOD. Happened pretty quickly, and my computer rebooted. Going back online, it happened again. Rebooting into safe mode w/networking doesn't have any problems, so I did just enough research to know that it may be a driver issue.

Here are the specs for this box:

The only thing I've installed recently (for my wife), is Facebook Gameroom. She's been using it for about 3 or 4 days now, no problem until a couple of hours ago. Attached is the DM log.

More research revealed that my antivirus (current version of Avast) would be a likely suspect. No problems this morning after uninstalling it. On a side note, Google Chrome was installed, and I've never had that on this box (I'm always careful about unchecking those boxes before installing anything). No worries.
