The other day, and after an electrical storm if that might have something to
do with it, my PC had a blue screen indicating that Windows had shut down.
The message mentioned a "Bad Pool Caller."
I tried repeatedly to restart the PC (unplugged all external devices except
the monitor). Each time I would get just passed teh WindowsXP startup
splash screen, the screen would turn black (normal to this point) and then a
few seconds later I would here a click and poof the blue screen was back.
I was unable to do a Windows Repair as I did a fresh install. Everything is
working corrrectly now. I did not replace any hardware so I don't feel my
problem was hardware related (unless a hardware item just glitched).
Can anyone advise what might have caused this problem and other steps I
might take if it happens again to avoid and complete reinstallation.
Thanks.
