    hi guys

    getting a bsod as described in the title. have run memtest on the ram, no errors. randomly seems to occur and running registry cleaners has had no effect.
    I have listed the most recent few mini dumps.

    Let me know if you need any further info, your help is greatly appreciated

    Registry cleaners cause more harm and very little good.

    The majority of your error codes is 0x00000019: BAD_POOL_HEADER
    A pool header issue is a problem with Windows memory allocation. Device driver issues are probably the msot common, but this can have diverse causes including bad sectors or other disk write issues, and problems with some routers.

    It could be you need to run a Windows Repair. Do you have your Vista disk?
