Blue screen

[Jack]

Every now and again, my computer shows a blue screen for BAD_POOL_CALLER
exception during startup. I wonder if this is a cause from Windows XP being
not 100% compatible with Hyper-threading Technology. I seen this message on
XP only, not on Windows 2000 or Linux... Can somebody verify that?
Or are there any patches/fixes for that from MS?Thanks
Jack

FYI, Windows XP is fully compatible with Intel's HT technology. I used to
have an HT system and had no issues with it whatsoever. Wherever did you get
the idea that it wasn't?!

If it happens only on a specific machine, there could be something
loose.
Unplug everything, blow the dust out at a gas station air hose, reset
everything back (particularly ram) and it might be ok.
