Upgrading my computer with a new motherboard (with integrated video), memory,
processor and hard drive. Partitioned and formatted hard drive. Started to
install Windows XP Pro when half way through the install, a blue screen with
the following error message appears: BAD_POOL_CALLER, Stop 0x000000C2
(0x00000007, 0x00000CD4, 0x00300030, 0xE174EA10). Not knowing what it meant,
I wiped the hard drive and re-formatted. Tried installing XP Pro again when
only a quarter of the way through a blue screen appears: BAD_POOL_CALLER,
Stop 0x000000C2 (0x00000040, 0x000F4000, 0x80000000, 0x00000000). There are
no adapter cards installed. Only an optical drive, no floppy. So which piece
of hardware is causing these errors? Thanks.
 
Reviewed the link, but don't understand how a faulty device driver could be
the cause when the operating system hasn't been fully installed yet. The
firmware is a possibility, but the latest BIOS revision was installed by the
manufacturer. Do you think if I install an AGP video card, that might
eliminate the integrated video as a possible cause of the problem?
