I recently built a full computer for the first time and ive been having some random crashes and bsod's. this happens most often when playing games or multitasking. the most frequent is the memory management, mixed with pfn list corrupt, and bad pool header. the program that crashes most frequently is battlefield 3, happens a few times a night at least. shockwave has also been crashing while using chrome.

windows has prompted me several times to do a memory check, which i have, but it says no memory problems found. i burned a disk to check the ram and let it run for about an hour and it found nothing wrong. i did a clean install of windows 7 and made sure my drivers were up to date. same problems happening. if there's any more information i can give just let me know. thanks

any help would really be appreciated!

BAD_POOL_HEADER (19)[/COLOR]
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: fffff8a005467000, The pool pointer being freed.
Arg3: 0000000000001650, The number of bytes allocated for the pool block.
Arg4: 0000000000001550, The corrupted value found following the pool block.
