Anyone any idea why I should suddenly start receiving an an intermittent
STOP....your computer has been halted......bad_pool_call error message
recently?

Try going inton the BIOS and setting your AGP display to primary (provided
that you are using an AGP graphics card). If that doesn't work, then try
updating all of your drivers, starting with the video card. Then try running
chkdsk on your drive/partition that contains your pagefile (usually the C:\
drive). If those things don't work or if you can't even boot your PC due to
the error, then try swapping out the RAM modules one at a time to see if any
are bad. You can also try flashing your BIOS as well.

These are typically due to faulty software or drivers but you need all the
info from your stop error message to help pinpoint. If you go into your
event viewer you'll see more info and you might be able to extract which
driver is causing the problems to update and reload it. Otherwise you can
research each device and see if others aren't having conflicts and update
drivers to those you suspect.
