Well I have had this machine for a while (Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet X201) and it came with Windows 7. I upgraded the RAM to 8 GB with cheap RAM from Ebay and it worked fine. I installed Windows 8 and very often get BSOD for Bad Pool Caller and not being able to write to blah blah, when I googled it briefly it seemed to be a problem with RAM and a lot of people were getting it with Windows 8 (I don't have the exact error code at hand). I also upgraded to an SSD so it could be that.
My Windows 8 is up to date and all drivers are fine. I installed Windows 8 from a USB booter that I made and now my laptop doesn't boot from the same USB with Windows 8.1 on it even when I go to BIOS and boot from USB it just boots from the SSD as normal. So I load Windows 8.1 ISO up from either USB or Desktop where I have copies, but in the key and go to install Windows 8.1 (I have tried both overwrite and save no files and keep my files) and it gets to 100%, reboots, crashes with BSOD and then doesn't install Windows 8.1. I sent my friend the error log and he sent this back:
BugCheck C2, {7, 11c1, 83414, fffff88000e7dec0}
GetPointerFromAddress: unable to read from fffff8036a16f168
GetUlongFromAddress: unable to read from fffff8036a16f1f8
GetUlongFromAddress: unable to read from fffff8036a0aa410
Probably caused by : CI.dll ( CI!I_FreeCatalogData+43 )
Well this doesn't mean anything to me and if I search for CI.dll I get loads of results, some of which are in System 32 so I can't just delete them. I have no idea what to do and I want to fresh format this laptop so any help would be really appreciated.
