BSOD

[Michael]

I seem to be having a recurring problem with Windows XP Pro SP1 and current
intel motherboards (865 & 875 chipsets). What happens is that after every 2
or 3 restarts I get the blue screen with a Bad Pool Caller error on startup.
I force a shutdown and it then restarts fine. There are absolutely no
problems in running of the computer once it successfully starts up. I have
the latest Bios and drivers for the computer installed.

Is ther a known issue regarding this? If so is there a fix as it looks bad
to customers for their computer to crash on starting up consistently?

Hi!Michael!
Turn off the auto-restart after a serious error, so that you can read
off details of the error from the screen: right click My Computer,
select Properties from the context menu, click on the Advanced tab, then
click Settings under Startup and Recovery, and remove the check mark
next to Automatic Restart.
When you've found the errorcode of your BSOD, take a look at
