Vista blue screen

[Mikey]

Hi guys

every now and then my computer starts locking up and becoming sluggish, then
after about 5minutes of doing this i get a blue screen up saying

BAD_POOL_HEADER

then some other things saying my computer will be restarted to prevent
damage, i then restart and its fine.

I can even go upto about 5days without this blue screen coming up

any ideas on what it is and how i can fix it?

Thanks

propably a driver issue, searching on google it seems that a lot of people
have the same problem because of drivers for their wireless network cards.
Also try disabling the Windows Search service.

Hmmm

i dont have a wireless connection on my Vista computer so it cant be that,
could it be my Ethernet?

i also have an ATI X1650 Pro but that has the correct Vista 32bit driver
installed

not sure which other drivers could cause it

Thanks for putting me on the right track thow

I'd like to see your debugging instructions but when hdw problems have been
eliminated as the cause or part of the cause of a BSOD, I can fix almost all
of them fairly easily using Startup Repair, the F8 menu, or the 3 of the
bootrec switches.
