hi all,

computer has been running nicely on its overclock but for a while now (not all the time) when its on standby for a long time (more than an hour usually) i go to logon, it lets me, then blue screen comes up BAD_POOL_CALLER. windows has been shut down to prevent damage.

this always happens when coming out of standby, i log in then desktop comes up then 1 sec later blue screen. this only happens if the computer is on standby for a while.

anyone shed any light

Don't quote me on this, but the couple times I experienced it was when I had bad memory (the infamous DDR500 ballistix) or I overclocked the memory too far...so that to me would indicate a problem with the memory perhaps?

I also seem to remember a few people saying they had problems with Geil memory too.

I would start off with a run of memtest.

I take it you aren't overclocked at the moment?
 
Set everything to stock and if it dosen't do it, then your overclock is to blame. Maybe things are pushed too far or more voltage/timing tweaks etc. is needed.
 
whats RMA, sorry to sound a bit thick, and yes I will try that mem test. Basically, the memory I set to 2.1V Vdimm sinc eit was only 1.8 in bios and changed the timings from 5-5-5-18 to 4-4-4-12 as advertised. the clock is at 2.7ghz and the RAM speed is still 400mhz like it should be. i know its the overclock thats the problem since at stock it doesnt have this problem. i was wondering as to why as its very random.

the overlock is at 2.7ghz on 1.325Vcore in bios. thats hardly pushing whats capable from what I have heard and read. I know my RAM is 1GB but still I don't think I've pushed it too far. the speed is still the same on the RAM. should I loosen the timings perhaps to 4-5-5-12?
