Hi,
Recently my computer crashed to the blue screen of death with the BAD_POOL_CALLER error. Upon reboot the display was all distorted and hard to see and so after a hard reset things seem to be going okay. I have heard that this can mean bad memory so I am going to run Memtest86 tonight. I was wondering if this is something that I should be worried about if my Memtest comes up fine? If so, what other problems could it be and what should I do?

P.S.
I believe that received this error once before about 2 months ago.

Thanks for the help!

when you receive a bsod error message you need to post it in full

Follow dai's link.
At every such crash if setup rightly (default) you will get a minimdump.dmp file created under your WINDOWS folder.

Get the Windows Debugging Tool (explained/linked above) and analyze the dump with the tool. Post back the log it creates as a text file. :smile:
