BSOD bad_pool_header help?

[a03dugga]

Hey guys, encountered this bsod just after a random keyboard spasm, to be more detailed i should say that the keyboard was repeating a few keys, or it was stuck, so i then unplugged and plugged back in.

Just after that i encounter a blue screen. A transcript of the bsod is below:


A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage
to your computer.

The problem seems to be caused by the following file: raspppoe.sys

BAD_POOL_HEADER

If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen,
restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow
these steps:

Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed.
If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer
for any Windows updates you might need.

If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware
or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing.
If you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart
your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then
select Safe Mode.

A Bad Pool Header in my experience usually means that there is a problem with the memory.
I would suggest that you run memtest and let it do at least 3-4 passes.

This can also cause bad sectors on some HDD's as well so you might want to run a check
on your drive m8.

Hope this helps.
