BAD POOL HEADERS


What does this mean?


The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x00000019
(0x00000020, 0xe1524c30, 0xe1524c50, 0x0c040405). A dump was saved in:
C:\WINDOWS\MEMORY.DMP.

You can look up the "19" here, and read about "Bad Pool Header".

http://aumha.org/a/stop.htm

"How to read the small memory dump files that Windows creates for debugging"

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315263

dumpchk.exe can be extracted from this download. I didn't bother to
install the whole thing, and just pulled the 5KB file out with 7ZIP.
I keep my copy of dumpchk.exe in the minidump folder, because that
is where my .dmp files are going. I open a command prompt window
in that folder, and then run the program.

Presumably, the size of your "MEMORY.DMP" file, would tell you whether it was
a minidmp or not. The ones sitting in my folder right now are 90,112 bytes.
If the files are some other size, then maybe they're not minidmp.

What you're looking for, in all of this, is the names of drivers
or programs involved, whether there is a trend to them or whether
they're random. Totally random crashes of one sort or another,
could indicate memory problems. In which case, some memory testing
programs can be used.
