BAD_POOL_HEADER

[Tom]

After I install XP SP2 and the computer restarts , I get
a blue screen with a "BAD_POOL_HEADER" error and the
computer shuts down and restarts after doing a memory
dump then gets the error screen again, etc. What is
wrong!?

That's it? Then hook them back up once it restarts and it
will work fine from there?

.

I am getting the same thing. I have no external devices
to unplug, unless a network is considered an external
device, but I've already tried unplugging the cable.

Apparently the MS people say that downloading the IT
version of SP2 instead of the home version may help

Doesn't help, it's the same problem. I've since updated
every hardware driver I can find. Still having the same
error.

I am not at home at the moment so I can't try anything,
but I know Microsoft offers free online chatting
concerning problems with XP SP2.

Talk to them and if you solve anything, please post it for
me as well!
