Isolating a bad driver? BSOD.

[Pete.Dakota]

I keep getting the BAD_POOL_HEADER blue screen. Usually within about 1-5 minutes of loading windows.

It doesn't happen in safe mode so I'm guessing I've got a bad driver.

I've read about "walking the pool lines" and literally going one by one through the drivers to find the conflicting one, but there's no guide on actually how this is done.

I haven't made any recent hardware changes and this occurs on a fresh install of W7 64bit. So it's not something I've recently installed; Windows is completely fresh.

Can anyone help?

Download memtest86, burn image to cd or usb flash drive and test your ram for any errors.

Update drivers like gfx card, sound and lan also anti virus known to cause this particular blue screen, norton and mcafee.

That all fails you may have to enable Driver Verifyer in Win 7, which stresses the drivers til one will blue screen, instructions HERE
