BSOD Pool Related Errors Bad Ram?

Hey Guys,

I keep having BSOD's I did a upgrade from win 7 to 8.1 then I changed hardware in the comp so I was getting lots of BSOD's (I changed CPU motherboard and ram).

I did a bit of investigative work and found some drivers to be causing them so I did a clean reinstall of windows 8.1 and it got rid of most of my problems. Now however I use XBMC for my frontend as this build is an HTPC and if I alt tab out of xbmc to do something else, chances are good that I'll get a BSOD. Its about a 1 in 5 chance it'll BSOD

It's almost always bad pool header or some kind of 'pool' problem. I've also noticed in my bios it says I have 4gb of ram however in windows it says I have 2.

I'm wondering if it's a ram problem? I've run memtest for about 20 minutes no errors (I know thats not long enough I'll run longer later) Also, memtest doesnt immediately see my second stick, it takes about 3 - 5 seconds before it see's the second one, is that normal?

I can post crashdumps let me know if you need me to, and what ones to post.

Also CPU-Z says I have 4GB single channel windows 8.1 system settings says 2GB

The dates in your systeminfo.txt file or in your MSINFO32.nfo file don't have any years. That's extremely odd and may be related to the RAM being recognized.
I'd suggest a BIOS/UEFI update to see if that helps the issue. Please check at the manufacturer's website to see if there are any BIOS updates available for your system. Also check the readme file to see if they apply to the problems that you are having. Please be advised that flashing the BIOS is a very unforgiving process - and one mistake can physically damage your motherboard.

Out of 4 memory dumps there were 4 different BSOD error codes. The differing error codes are usually symptomatic of a lower level problem within the system. They are usually caused by one of these things:
- borked (broken) hardware (several different procedures used to isolate the problem device)
- BIOS issues (check for updates at the motherboard manufacturer's website)
- overclocking/overheating - You'll know if you're overclocking or not. If uncertain we can suggest things to check.
- compatibility issues (3rd party hardware/drivers)
- low-level driver problems
- or even malware (scanned for when we ask for hardware diagnostics from Initial Hardware Diagnostics or Hardware Diagnostics ).

You can get a head start on the hardware diagnostics if you'd like - they are located here: Hardware Diagnostics

In this case I'd start with the BIOS/UEFI update - as it appears central to your issues.

AMD Overdrive is on your system. It's either a part of Gigabyte EasyTune6 or is it's own stand-alone program. It's known to cause BSOD's on some Windows systems.

Please uninstall EasyTune6 if it's present. If not, then please follow these instructions:
AMD OverDrive (AODDriver2.sys) is either a stand-alone application, or a component of the AMD VISION Engine Control Center. This driver is known to cause BSOD's on some Windows systems.
NOTE: these symptoms were from the previous release of OverDrive. The new release uses the same driver name, but is dated from 4 November 2013.
Please un-install all AMD/ATI video stuff from Control Panel...Programs...Un-install a program
Then, download (but DO NOT install) a fresh copy of the ATI drivers from Global Provider of Innovative Graphics, Processors and Media Solutions | AMD (in the upper right corner of the page)
Use this procedure to install the DRIVER ONLY: ATI video cards - DRIVER ONLY installation procedure - Sysnative Forums

If the device (AODDriver or AODDriver4.01) remains a problem, open Device Manager, select the "View" item.
Then select "Show hidden devices" and scroll down to the Non-Plug and Play Drivers section.
Locate the AODDriver entry, right click on it and select "Un-install". Reboot for changes to take affect.
Sometimes the driver remains and continues to cause BSOD's. If this is the case for you, post back and we'll give further instructions for safely removing it.

If overclocking, please stop. Remove the overclock and return the system to stock/standard values while we're troubleshooting. Once the system is stable again, feel free to resume the overclocking.

Please update these older drivers. Links are included to assist in looking up the source of the drivers. If unable to find an update, please remove (un-install) the program responsible for that driver. DO NOT manually delete/rename the driver as it may make the system unbootable! :
