Error Message: BAD_POOL_HEADER - 0x00000019

I've had this for about a month now on all new releases in the past month on Dolphin. I have no idea what's causing this or what's going on.

Windows 7 64bit

i7 2600k 4.2ghz

12gb DDR31600 3x4GB RAM

Gigabyte Geforce GTX 770 2gb

Dolphin 4.0.2 does not BSoD my PC so it has something to do with the revisions in the last month. Any ideas?

It happens immediately as soon as I start Dolphin. Double Click, circular loading symbol next to the mouse (hourglass), Then BSoD.

EDIT: Turns out it was the Etron USB 3.0 Drivers on my Motherboard. No idea why they started acting up but the fix is to go to this website and download the driver at the bottom of the screen.

I uninstalled my current driver first before proceeding. I would suggest the same to you ;-). Thanks Reinsol for the fix.

Sounds like a memory corruption issue at your side. Try testing your RAM with something like MemTest86...

Just ran the entire test.

Went all the way through. No Errors.

Any other ideas?

I did some googling and it looks like code 19 is usually a driver issue. Update all of your drivers and ensure you are only using official drivers from the manufacturer. If you are using third party or beta drivers, remove them and install the official ones.

also, you should be able to look at the BSOD screen and it tell you which file has the issue. This will lead you into which driver is crapping out on you.

Check your BIOS and try toggling Memory Remap or Memory Scrambling features if you find them, it may help...

Haddockd: All drivers are updated to the newest. My BSoD Viewer says the problem is the Windows Kernel. ntoskrnl.exe

Jhonn: I don't think that's available on my ASRock Z68 Pro3-M but I'll try and look it up.

I'm not sure if you guys really looked at my original post but versions of Dolphin from a month before do not have this BSoD issue. I even tested out Dolphin 4.0.2 which works perfectly fine.

I'm having the exact same problem, I tried older versions of the unstable as well with no luck. Something is causing BAD_POOL_HEADER - 0x00000019 erros and BSODing me every time I try to run.

The stable version (4.0.2) runs perfectly fine.

Fixed it Joe33345.

I downloaded Blue Screen View (free) and pulled the BSOD. Turns out my Etron 3.0 driver (USB Driver) was causing the fault. Downloaded Etron version 0.118 and installed. Restarted and it's running fine.

Best of luck!

You hit the nail on the head Reinsol. Thank you sir. BSoD's are officially fixed.

Happy to help my man.
