Dear all,

just had 2 BSOD on a computer running a VB6 application.
Can you please check and tell me what happened and if it had something to do with my application?
Thanks a lot.

Both errors are the same 0x00000019: BAD_POOL_HEADER
A pool header issue is a problem with Windows memory allocation. Device driver issues are probably the most common, but this can have diverse causes including bad sectors or other disk write issues, and problems with some routers. They can also be caused by bad RAM.

Nothing definitive was cited but we note that you are still running XP with SP2. We here at TechSpot strongly recommend to everyone running XP to update to Service Pack 3. Why? Three reasons: a) XP with SP2 is no longer supported, b) for critical security updates, and c) for stability.

Just yesterday I was helping someone who was experiencing system crashes due to software drivers. I noted he was still running XP w?SP2 and said try updating to SP3. Sure enough it brought stability. I am not saying this will work for you but with XP it is still an essential thing to do. If anyone tells you SP3 will cause issues tell them that is very old news and not the case for some time now.
 
thanks for the input.
I have two identical systems here which are running parallel.
BSOD only on one system.
So I already tried to install image of the trouble free PC to the one with BSOD, but still BSOD comes up.
Already exchanged RAMs and did Dell Diagnostic Check without any result.

Any other idea?
 
If you don't have it already then go to Western Digital's site and get their harddrive diagnostic utility. Run the long test.
 
Any more ideas, what I can do or check??
To me it seems like, it must be HW problem, as both PCs are running exactly the same Image.
Bios also updated to latest version on both PCs
 
Did you update to SP 3?

Try this: Start > Run > type in EventVwr.msc > Okay Note both Yellow Triangles and especially Red Xs and what they are flagging.
 
Compaq Presario C571NR Notebook BSOD on XP

Hello I have a Compaq Presario C571NR Notebook PC
and it keeps blue screening after I have done every test imaginable to try to fix it.
it makes a weird noise some times it's quiet but it blue screens at random times. It can be on for 5 hours and not blue screen or it could be on for 5 minutes and blue screen very weird. I have problems with it for quite some time now about 4 years. Sent it to Compaq got it fixed by there team they sent it back it was acting up again. Since than i have had 3 computer experts look at it and it still blue screens mainly when i watch video's or listen to music. I have trouble Downloading as well as uploading video and music on to you tube on to Facebook
as it goes really slow and than eventually freezes completely.

so my question is why does this keep happening? I have run every single test you can think of Memory test Bios, System scan, Registry error's removal you name it still blue screening and shutting down even when I go to look at picture sites it never did that before. it says in a log that there is alot windows 32 config error's what is this?
why is this happening? Please help as i am loosing hope.

Thank you
