Win 7 64 Daily BSOD help

sybaris · 9 Oct 2010 at 15:21

I have as you probably guessed Win7 64.
I am getting a regular BSOD error, usually once a day.
I can be in any app and suddenly the PC locks up then I get a quick split second glimpse of a BSOD screen and the PC re-boots.

The other issue I am having is that from time to time any app I am using just stops working (not responding) and closes.

I have updated all my drivers.

I think there may be an issue with nt something. NTloader perhaps?

Oh also having problems running games. Double click the game and nothing, not even an error message.

Can anyone help?

NTloader is only used at startup so I can't imagine that's the problem. I used to get random BSODs but I fixed mine by updating my nvidia graphics drivers.

Try downloading a memtest86+ test to check whether or not your problem is based on computer memory issues.

sorry not ntloader

This was likely caused by the following module: ntoskrnl.exe
Bugcheck code: 0xC2 (0x7, 0x1097, 0x40103, 0xFFFFF8A002F3FB20)
Error: BAD_POOL_CALLER

The last two machines I saw with that error had two different causes. One machine had dodgy RAM. The other needed its wifi driver reinstalling.

hmmm memtest is showing errors. Ram is only 3 months old.

Looks like you found your answer.

And the age of a PC component has absolutely no bearing on whether it will decide to die one day!
