Windows 10: BAD_POOL_CALLER error

Hello, for the past month I've been getting multiple BSOD such as kernel security check , system service exception, IRQL not less or equal, kernel auto boost invalid lock release, memory management, and just today I received BAD_POOL_CALLER. I've ran multiple ram test, checked system files, hard drive and ssd for errors but none were found. I've restarted my pc 2 times with an automatic install of windows 10 pro without needing to input my product key, formatted my hard drive, but nothing has seemed to work. I have made sure that all of my drivers are up to date and they all check out. About 2 months ago I switched from an old pc case to a new one with a new mother board and processor, but it was running good at first so I think it is unlikely that it is the problem. I also haven't noticed a pattern between the errors as well. The way I am writing this seems unprofessional so I do apologize but I hope you understand my concern as I am writing this. I have come to the conclusion that based off of what I've seen that it could be something in the operating system. I think if I factory reset my pc from the BIOS and reinstall windows manually with a fresh install of windows 10 that I could fix the problem. Please hit me with your opinions as soon as possible!


SIDE NOTE: Last week I posted a question about the kernel security check error and posted my dump files, and someone came back saying "A kernel component has corrupted a critical data structure. The corruption could potentially allow a malicious user to gain control of this machine." Which further leads me to believe it is the OS and that I should use a fresh install of windows 10 through a USB/Flash Drive.


Specs:

RX 570 8gb Vram

Ryzen 5 3600

ROG Strix B450-F Gaming Mobo 3rd gen ready

16gb Ram 3000mhz default

1tb WD Blue Hard drive

465gb SSD windows file

Case was given to me by a friend, I don't know the name of it but I get very high temps while playing games70-85 lol

Bad_Pool_Caller


I have read quite a few "Bad_Pool_Caller" posts and none that I've read have been any help. It really is getting frustrating; as many as three times in a day. I've tried safe mode, but couldn't figure anything from that. In fact as I write here I'm expecting a crash. Jeez this really is a backward step. I don't remember windows 3 crashing like this with no explanation as to what is causing the crash. I have a Dell Studio 1747 laptop (six years old now). I installed a 240GB SSD drive a week or so ago. I can't remember if I had these BSOD's with the old drive. I've attached the suggested system file from previous posts. I notice ads to repair this problem, but hesitate to try them; any suggestions on that.

Thanks, Allan
