I am not sure what is going on and not sure how to express
this in computer language since I am new to this but. . .
I am getting frequent blue screens on a variety of
subjects mainly one saying bad_pool_caller but also other
stuff. Then it dumps the memory. It asked me to diable
the BIOS memory. This time it asked me to run the device
driver verifier or enable the special pool. This problem
seem to happen more often when I have more than one
program running although there really isn't any pattern.
I also receive many messages that explorer is going to
close or the media device is going to close but these
rarely crash my machine. I have gome to the manufactrer
of the motherboard, video card and sound card and tried to
download updates but nothing seems to solve the problem.
Someone suggested it was a memory probelm so I went to
Memtest86 but i can seem to run thier program. I had a
friend built this computer but he can't help me any
further so someones suggestions would be appreciated.

Next time, you might try out the Microsoft Knowledge Base, and search for
the error you describe....
http://support.microsoft.com/default...;EN-US;KBHOWTO
Just something to bookmark, I guess... it does come in handy, although I
agree that I learn more by checking the Newsgroups.

But here are two articles I pulled out with a search there.... I hope one of
them helps
