BSOD - BAD_POOL_HEADER - ntoskrnl.exe
Hi,
Recently I've been getting fairly frequent BSOD (BAD_POOL_HEADER) on my PC. It was around the same time as I moved the PC from one room to another. Perhaps this is merely co-incidental, I don't know, perhaps a driver or something else causes the issues. After the BSODs I did reseat my memory just in case I had accidentally knocked it out, but all seemed OK.
There's no real pattern I can discern that triggers the BSOD any more than normal use. I generally use my PC for internet browsing and a bit of GoPro and photo editing. It's an old beast, ~7/8 years old, Dell, running windows 10. Technically the GFX card doesn't have a windows 10 driver, however, I upgraded to Windows 10 a while back and have only had problems in the past 3-4 weeks.
I've ran mulitple memory checks (the most recent was an extended, 5 pass) all have come back without error. SFC /scannow also comes back clean.
