Bad_pool_caller

A.O.A
I am using Windows 8 Professional freshly installed. Now the problem is when I start my system at first attempt it gives the error BAD_POOL_CALLER and restarts, at the second attempt the windows starts.

I have taken the memory tests & there is no fault in it.
Need Solution.

That causes double posts.

Just kidding.

Probably a driver issue:

You installed drivers for: chipset, vid, network--in that order?

The blue screen should have given you some codes; see the link above to interpret them.

What does Device Manager show?

New hard drive OK? Any formatting problems?

And: what does A.O.A stand for?

A.O.A means Assalam-o-Alaikum.
Secondly, I didn'tnote down the error code shown on blue screen.
when I see that I will probably post.
thanks for your reply

Hi--

so, when you installed windows 8: you let the installation finish,

then installed the latest chipset drivers? .inf as I recall for intel based mobos...you don't say what mobo you have.

Then the latest appropriate video driver for whatever GPU you are running?

Then LAN drivers (so you should download the drivers needed before you start the install)

Then sound, other drivers as needed.

"Layered" driver install seems to help, based on what I have read.
