bad_pool_caller update

[Guest Panic]

This is an update and redo to avoid confusion.

 

2-12 -08 Whoops. I had another incident today. Seems in the evening if I

leave my

computer on I end up with the blue screen of death.

 

Last time (2-10-08) the problem showed 0x~c2 (0x~40, 0x~00, 0x8~00, 0x~00)

with

comment that C:\windows\system32/imm32.dll is not valid.

 

This time it showed 0x~0A, 0x~16, 0x~02, 0x804G469A)

 

Anyone have help for me? I have downloaded 3 pages of info about bug check

0xC2:bad_pool_caller but don't really know what I'm reading. It suggests I

activate driver verifier to get more information. I printed it all out.

Before I run the verifier commands can someone tell me exactly what that

does.

 

UPDATE: 02-17-08 Today I ran verifier/standard and it showed a problem

with grfilter.sys with codes

0x~D6 (0x95973000, 0x~00, 0xF77119347, 0X~00)

GRFILTER.SYS ADDRESS F77119347 BASE AT F7717000. DATESTAMP 420112b3

 

I googled grfilter.sys and found it IS not a windows file and a possible

intruder that can be removed using add/remove.

It is in Windows\system32\drivers folder. Does that sound like a good idea?

I also downloaded a valid imm32.dll file and did a FC compare that showed no

difference between the new version I downloaded and the one I have in my

system32 folder.

 

Any help would be appreciated. Again my system works fine most of the time.

Only in the evenings when it is unused for several hours do I experience

that blue screen of death problem.

From what I can tell, grfilter.sys is related to the NDIS packet

redirector driver. Are your network card drivers up to date?

I have an isolated desktop machine using a continuous cable connection.

Would that have a network card driver?

Huh? Continuous what? I don't know what that is. Go to Start >

Settings > Control Panel > System > Device Manager > Network Adapter

 

What does it say there? Click twice on the device listed there and

then click on the tab that says driver? What's the date and version?

Click the driver details button? What is the name of the file?

Re: bad_pool_caller update

 

Did you run a memory (RAM) test on the machine?

 

http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag.asp or http://www.memtest86.com/

 

Different bugcheck messages (0x0A & 0xC2) both of which can be caused by

bad RAM. Maybe you should eliminate hardware as a possible cause.

Thanks, Wolf. I went to intel® Pro/100 VE Network Connection and checked

for an updated driver. It installed an update and now is dated 12/6/2007,

version 8.9.47.0. We'll see if that helps. New details:

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1039&SUBSYS_4000107B&REV_82\4&29817089&0&40F0

 

At first I thought you were referring to a LAN card driver that's why I said

it is an isolated machine with internet cable.

Re: bad_pool_caller update

 

FYI. It seems installing the updated driver for my Network Adapter has done

the trick. It's been several days now with no "blue screen of death" on my

computer. Thanks to all who helped. Thanks Wolf!

Thanks for keeping us updated. This is good info to pass along to

others with the same issue.
