From what I've noticed there isn't much of a pattern of when it happens, except that it happens when my pc is working on a lot of processes. Several times it's happened while playing League of Legends. It started on the 15th and on the 17th it crashed multiple times. From what I understand it is a bad driver, but I haven't installed any new hardware in weeks and I don't see any issues in the device manager.

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: 0000000000000021, the data following the pool block being freed is corrupt.  Typically this means the consumer (call stack ) has overrun the block.
Arg2: fffffa8003d1c000, The pool pointer being freed.
Arg3: 0000000000007810, The number of bytes allocated for the pool block.
Arg4: 0000000000000000, The corrupted value found following the pool block.
