BSoD Bad_pool_caller

zdevex · 12-24-2006, 02:36 PM

Hi, I have been getting every few weeks or so a BSoD Bad_pool_caller error screen and I don't know why.

What I read told me that this is usually caused by a driver.

the full stop error is

STOP : 0x000000C2 (0x00000007, 0x00000CD4, 0x00AC0001, 0x894117E0)

I was wondering how to figure out what exactly is causing this.

Thanks in advance.

These can be very aggravating and hard to fix. If you have system restore enabled, and a restore point back to before the problem started, I would restore to there to start with. If not, can you think of what software or drivers you may have installed or upgraded about the time the problem began? If you think of any, you can uninstall if it's a program, or roll back if it's a driver.

This is most likely a driver. Do a system restore if you have it and any recently installed drivers are better made note of and uninstalling i.e. roll back as PanamaGal suggested.
