Blue screens? BAD_POOL_CALLER

from Stardock Forums
I've been having a lot of crashes, and I'm not sure if it's related to ObjectDesktop stuff, in particular ObjectBar or WindowsFX (or trayserver). I'm getting a lot of blue screens (a couple a day). I ran a memory checker overnight, and it didn't turn up anything. The crashes have occurred during weird times when I've not been doing anything odd. Most recently it crashed once when I was trying to submit this post, before that when I clicked a URL in an e-mail (a safe URL), another time when I clicked a different URL in an IM program (Trillian). The common thing there is IE. The first two times WIndowsFX was running, the last time it wasn't. Another time the computer suddenly died (screen went black, no disk IO, as though the computer was dead, but power was still on) when I clicked the properties in ObjectBar to try to add a new item to ObjectBar (it crashed before anything came up).


Anyway, I'm keeping all Stardock stuff turned off for now to try to eliminate it. But, anyone else know anything? My PC is a new Alienware with NVidia 6800 uLTRA (i think).

What graphics drivers do you have installed?

After installing WB 5.01 Beta, I was getting Bad_Pool_Header errors very frequently. It occurred most when I was manipulating files (Moving, copying, deleting, or downloading) Whenever it would happen, I would get a BSOD Bad_Pool_Header Stop 0x00000019. After reverting back to WB 4.6 I have not had the problem. Windows Error reporting indicated it was a problem with my video driver. I have verified I am running the most current drivers for all hardware in my machine.
