BSOD bad_pool_header

[stevenvw]

Hi,
I am having a problem with a Dell Vostro 1510 laptop. It is crashing with the bad_pool_header BSOD.

error codes:
x(however many zero's)19
x(however many zero's)20
x87F75380
x87F75430
x1AV60013

I already ran memtestx86 for a few passes and didn't find any errors..

Any ideas?

Thanks

it seems that I can trigger the BSOD when ever I initialize Speedfan as well

It's either memory or a driver.

Ok, well then I'm guessing that it must be a driver, seeing that the memory should be fine. I've put the files in a zip folder in dropbox and added the link below in case anybody wants to take a gander at them

Did you test memory one stick at a time for at least 3 complete cycles? Then repeat with all sticks installed? If not then you didn't really test it.

Sorry for the delay...its definitely not the memory....there are two RAM cards...I've tested each one individually for a minimum of at 10 passes, as well as 10 passes with both cards at the same time...no errors whatsoever.

Start here ^

Remove Speedfan and any other superfluous drivers.
