    BSOD: Bad pool caller
    « on: April 15, 2017, 11:14:41 AM »
    I have done a fresh install of Windows 7.  Now, after the computer boots up, then within 5 minutes I get this BSOD "Bad pool Caller".  How can this be fixed

    Which version of Windows 7, and did you install this via DVD or USB stick? Is this a brand new build or a rebuild of an older system?

    Sounds like you didn't re-install the correct drivers after re-doing Win7.

      DaveLembke,

      Its win 7 ultimate installed from a DVD,  its a fresh installation, meaning after deleting the existing partitions.

        patio,

        hi, when you put the wind 7 disk in the laptop, it boots up and installs windows, connects to the internet, gets the sound driver and stuff.  Is there something else I need to also do, like go to their website, download and install all the drivers?  Also, I had another question, what is the difference between deleting partitions vs reformatting them when you are prompted at new install?

        And are you sure its just the drivers that are causing this BSOD

        its a toshiba satellite l455d-s5976

        You need to go to the website of the laptop manufacturer and download and install all appropriate drivers, starting with the chipset driver.

          Allan,
          I thought it does that automatically with windows update
          anyway, Ill do that, my laptop shows that bad pool caller error now, so it is better to go to the manufacturer website toshiba and download the drivers, or should I do a fresh install first?

          Could there be any other reason for this bad pool caller error?

          Do the drivers from Toshiba's site...
