Hello today I got a BSOD saying BAD_POOL_CALLER. from the sites I found, it is either ram or a driver, most likely a driver, the only driver that was reinstalled recently was the nvidia since I moved the card to the other PCI slot, also I've been having a lot of BSOD, some say nothing, some say IRQL errors, some just hardware error ones.

Anyways what I did was start Verify to check drivers upon bootup, BUT the problem is I get a BSOD as soon as my desktop shows, it's happened 10 times now that I've restarted the PC into normal mode hoping it would go away. I uninstalled the display drivers hoping it would stop Verify from checking those since they may be at fault. Realy, I'm just confused and have no idea what to do. I'm wondering if there's a way to stop Verify from starting at boot up? I may have some unsigned drivers on my PC, I think Riva Tuner has one, it always said some Riva Tuner driver wasn't signed blah blah..... I'm gonna uninstall a few drivers and see if maybe the problem goes away.

One more thing, just in case, when you get a BSOD saying that a sys file is missing ir corrupt, but you don't have a windows CD available at the time, and you made a backup copy of all the system32 drivers of a fresh install, could you somehow get in safemode or something else and use the dvd copy of the drivers to restore a driver?

Sure you can try coping ove the System 32 folder but i doubt it will work.

chances ar your problem stems from the fact that the motehrboard wants the video card back into the other slot. The upper slot should be where it is at if you only have a single card.

Thanks and I have been running the video card in the bottom slot for about 1 month. I sent it in for RMA since the upper slot causes post problems and one SATA port doesn't work and the bios fan controllers dont work either.

I started to get BSOD saying "a system driver is attempting to corrupt the system files..." It ended up being my razer drivers, then Rivatuner gave me BSOD. I ended up just reformatting since I have a back up drive and didnt lose anything. My OS was prolly a mess from the PC BSODng a lot and shutting off unexpectedly AND uddenly my PC was using over 40% non stop after i uninstalled SP Beta. That's when I decided to reformat.
