BAD_POOL_HEADER BSOD tcpip.sys

[HolyCinnamon]

So I've been bluescreening very often these past few weeks because of "BAD_POOL_HEADER", I think tcpip.sys has something to do with it.

Here's my minidump file

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

tcpip.sys is used for internet and lan traffic. I think it stands for transmission control protocol/internet protocol.

I would update lan drivers for motherboard or WiFi adaptor, which ever you use.

The other alternative is its a virus so run a scan to check PC.

something overwote memory it did not own. It happened to over write a pool header (a tracking data structure for kernel memory) it might be the network driver, or even malware. generally you would just update the motherboard drivers and do a malwarebytes scan and see if you can find the cause of the problem. Otherwise you would have to run verifier.exe and force the system to bugcheck when the header is overwritten. the bugcheck memory dump would name the bad driver that overwrote the pool memory

since the stack is corrupted you can not tell what driver caused the corruption. It could be the network driver or not, some malware will attempt to gain access by corrupting the stack. most of the time it is just the ethernet driver that does it. particularly if it is a USB wireless ethernet driver.

I ran into the same issue. I did a few troubleshooting items and found that my AMD driver needed to be updated and it has resolved my issue.
