Can't get beyond "0x000000c2 BAD_POOL_CALLER" ... ADVICE NEEDED

[Guest John]

Greetings Everyone ... I am writing to ask for help and suggestions on how I

can get my Dell 8250 to boot up again. I have been getting the 0x000000c2

BAD_POOL_CALLER no matter what I do. Last night I even tried to boot up from

the Xp installation disc. I used the ® repair, drivers loaded, Windows

began and ...bang ... the BAD_POOL_CALLER message again. I have run out of

ideas on how to get past it. So, I am turning to you all for ideas. I would

be happy to recieve a recommendation as to better places to look for help

also.

 

I appreciate your help ...

 

Thanks everyone,

 

John

Can you boot up into the Safe Mode? With most computers you click rapidly

on the F8 key at the beginning of bootup to get a screen to allow you to

boot into the safe mode.

 

If you can boot into the Safe Mode click on Start... Run...type "msconfig"

(without the quotes)... click OK and take a look at your startup stuff. You

might try clicking on the General Tab and clicking a dot before Diagnostic

Startup.

Hi ... Thanks very much for taking time to reply. Sadly, the answer is "NO",

I cannot boot up to the Safe Mode. I cannot boot up to anything. I can't

boot up. I am no longer able to get past this message.

 

Just before the problem started, I was reinstalling audio drivers for my ATI

Raethon Sound Card. My guess would be that this is connected to the problem.

 

 

Does anyone think it might help if I actually remove the sound card and try

it again?

Thanks everyone,

Hi ... Thanks very much for the suggestions. The first article I had already

read, but the PC Review article I had not. However, I have removed all the

USB devices, as the article suggested, with the exeption of my wireless mouse

and keyboard. They are from Microsoft and I didn't think that they might be

part of the problem. I can round up a wired mouse and keyboard and see if

that makes any difference.

 

Thanks for your help.

Do you need to recover data from the drive. You can put the drive in a

second computer as a slave drive to recover important data. This should

be done first.

Greetings Gerry ... Thanks for the suggestions. I will follow though on all

of them. I feel like I am a student back in school again!

 

What would your reaction be, and anyone else's also, to the idea that was

presented to me today by a neighbor who works as a programmer and IT tech in

a bank. He said that the symptoms sounded familiar and he thought that

perhaps that hard drive was giving me a signal that it is time for it to be

replaced. For those of you with more experience, does this sound like the

last gasp of a dying drive?

Thanks everyone,
