Win7 64 - BSoD Bad_Pool.....

[DaveU]

6 month old machine Win7 64, Quad core i7 820, EVGA x58 MB, 6 gig ram, Nvidia GTX 275,
minor overclock from manufacturer. No new software or hardware, No Bios updates... Just started random BSoD "Bad_Pool_ Header" or "Bad_Pool_Caller" reboot sometimes ok. or i'll have to completely shut down, sit for a few, then restart. System may run fine for days, then random BSoD again. Seems to hapen mostly when browsing and using the scroll wheel? Ran Prime 95 overnight and no issues, reseated ram and sata cables, any thoughts? Thanks!

Rune chckdsk. You may have a bit of corruption on the HDD.

Basically, I have the same problem with Windows 7 now, 32bit.
I did a clean installation of Windows 7 on my PC.
Then it keeps giving random BSOD. Checks on HDD has been done. Nothing wrong. I read a lot of posts that it's most likely caused by bad drivers. But each time with a different BSOD, I have no idea how to fix it. Now every time I turn on my PC, I have to wait until windows 7 is stable, which is probably after 5-to-infinite times of BSOD & restart.

p.s. strangely, the Windows 7 64bit I installed on my laptop has no problem.

I would start by running memtest86. Thats usually not a ram issue, but it's easier than BSOD for five days just to have to do it anyway.
If I were you I'd try it in safe mode. If still no go open that puppy out and remove EVERYTHING non-essential, go to one ram stick etc. If it is a driver issue you should be able to at least isolate it and update everything leading up to it.

Also, I know I never set restore points so I'm far from chastizing you if you don't, but can you restore to an earlier time? If it's a driver issue and you haven't installed anything right before the BSODs it's possible windows auto-updated and is causing the issue.
