I'm running XP SP2, and experiencing a non-paged pool leak of about 150 MBs a day. The pool will fill up after about 42 hours leading to a BSOD (0x000000f4). Poolmon is indicating the tag IRP is allocating ~20 bytes constantly and never freeing it. It's probably a driver, but I can't get any closer than that to finding out which one. I also monitored the leak in safe mode with no networking and it still leaks there. Could anyone perhaps help narrow it down more?

Your problem looks quite familiar, I tried to track it down for a long time, but failed. So I finally gave up and reinstalled windows, and that took care of it, so far. But I still would like to know what might have caused the problem.

I'll definitely post to this thread if I can find anything out. I don't want to reinstall if I don't have to because I always forget to back something or other up.

The event viewer errors mostly seemed to be related to an old driver that I uninstalled. The IRP memory leak continues though. I can still post some errors if you'd like. As for right now, I've attached my two most recent crash dumps.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

One or Two minidumps are Insufficient to Determine the Root Cause of the problem
Attach 5 to 6 Recent Minidumps
