Windows 10: Bad pool header?

Got an BSOD i haven't gotten before earlier this day.
It occured around the time i connected and disconnected a my Camera via USB i think.
I think it was disconnected, and then randomly as i was looking away, then back it was in BSOD, if my memory serves right.

Though not sure if that's to blame or something is unstable as my PC is overclocked, but it pretty much never crashes otherwise, so i want to confirm what the issue is as i can't reproduce it i think.

:)

These are related to Malwarebytes. I would remove it and use the built in defender

How To Find Drivers:



Do not use device manager it may tell you the device is up to date but will not tell you if it is corrupt



Search Google for the name of the driver, or go to the computer makers site.

Compare the Google results with what's installed on your system to figure out which device/program it belongs to

Visit the web site of the manufacturer of the hardware/program to get the latest drivers (DON'T use Windows Update or the Update driver function of Device Manager).

If there are difficulties in locating them, post back with questions and someone will try and help you locate the appropriate program

The most common drivers are listed on these pages:

Yes, BAD_POOL_HEADER.

Do three things on an urgent Basis:

1. Uninstall MBAM. Download a fresh copy of it and install it.
Code: BugCheck 19, {3, ffffe001f61ac320, f61ac320, ffffe001f61ac320} *** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for mbam.sys *** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for mbam.sys Probably caused by : Pool_Corruption ( nt!ExFreePool+cb6 ) Followup: Pool_corruption ---------[/quote] 2. Update windows to latest. Windows Update - Check for and Install in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums
A non-up-to-datw windows is subject to various threads including security threats and BSODs.
Your windows is ....
Code: Windows 10 Kernel Version 10240 MP (4 procs) Free x64[/quote] The latest version is 10586.

3. Test your RAM modules for possible errors.MemTest86+ - Test RAM Run memtest86+ for at least 8 consecutive passes.
Code: BugCheck 109, {a3a01f5a74ec775e, b3b72be0c76ccab5, fffff80173a6d340, 1} Probably caused by : memory_corruption Followup: memory_corruption ---------[/quote] If it start showing errors/red lines, stop testing. A single error is enough to determine that something is going bad there.
Take a camera snap of the memtest86+ window before closing the program. Let us see it.

Thanks for the clear explanations.

Have done the Malwarebytes part.

I don't understand why i have an old Windows 10 version though, there is no update*Sad?

As for MemTest86+, i have run Prime95 90% Available RAM for over 12 Hours and some other stress testing to make sure it's all stable.
But i will do such a test when i got time. How long do you think 8 passes will take for 8gb of RAM?

 

Welcome. *Smile

Fine!

Whatever may be the reason behind it, update it now.

Prime95 tests the CPU, not the RAM.
For 8 GB, it may take several hours. Better you run the test overnight.

 

I can't update, there is no updated in Windows Update:S?

Prime95 Blend should test RAM as well, but indeed it's not it's primary function.
I will do a MemTest86+ test overnight when i can!

 

You may try this: Windows Update - Reset in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums

 

Tried it, no difference, only updates i got was Windows Defender.

Though i notice now what what wrong, i had Defer Upgrades checked, didn't really thought of it handled that stuff;P

 

Updated, now i got a device without a driver, not sure what it is though, seems like some virtual storage?

Code: root\cbfs_storlib_bus3[/quote] EDIT:

Okay i just uninstalled it, and it doesn't appear anymore, no clue what it was.

 

If you cannot update windows at all, I would suggest you to get the latest Windows 7 ISO and perform a clean reinstall.

If a windows install does not update, it is corrupt, and subject to fail and crash. It will be vulnerable to security threats, too.

 

I was able to update*Smile
I got a huge updated after i unchecked Defer Upgrades.
So now i got the version i am supposed to have.
They changed some icons which i am not that fond off though -_-!

 

Very nice!
Let us know for any further BSOD.

 

Will do*Smile
Will need to do the MemTest86+ however, but can't really afford that much time right now, but will do it when it's possible*Smile

 

Let memtest86+ run overnight in that case. *Smile
