MM_Pool_Driver_Corrupt 1

[Present]

I get occasional blue-screens with this error, I thought it might be my soundcard and have replaced it (seemed to happen when playing audio) but have replaced it to no avail. Any idea what it might be?

Cheers,

The only thing I can find close to this are SQL ODBC errors. Are you sure this is the right message? Could you do a Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Event Viewer and check the logs for any more details?

Okay had the crash again - the exact message was:

"DRIVER_CORRUPTED_MMPOOL"

With stop message -

STOP: 0x000000D0

Does that help at all?

Try the suggestion in the last paragraph here:

Hmm okay, how strange... I've entered the dword value and I'm about to verify drivers.

regedit looks a bit dodgy to me, could it cause some other instability? Why wasn't this key set anyway???

Thanks!

For complaint and well-behaved drivers the setting is not necessary.

It is clearly a driver issue.

Okay I tried to run the verifier on my unsigned drivers but Windows would not reboot!

I'm busy working now so I'll just stick with it as it is... though Media Player now says it needs reinstalling

that regedit won't give me a performance hit will it?

Cheers

 

[bcastner]

No. It is an obscure setting for compatability reasons.

*Phew*

After trying to run that driver verifier windows decided it had to reinstall ALL drivers! That took a while!

Don't know why it might have packed up trying to verify... I think I'll leave it for now. Had one other blue-screen today mind, a familiar one:

BAD_POOL_CALLER

STOP: 0X000 000C2

Could this be part of the same problem?

Oh man... after this driver re-install I was left with both 'ACPI' and 'Standard computer' in the 'Computer' drivers bit. It was behaving like a standard computer (ie. power instantly OFF when you hit the power switch!) but wouldn't let me uninstall the 'standard computer'... so I uninstalled the 'ACPI' hoping it would sort things after a reboot, but no luck.

Normally I can switch a 'standard pc' to an ACPI with 'update driver', but this time it's not showing me the ACPI in the drivers list, what can I do?

Thanks,

Bill.

Thanks - looks like I might have to run a Windows repair to sort it out - any less drastic way of doing it than this?

Not given the Device Manager display you are showing.
