Stop: 0x00000019 = BAD_POOL_HEADER
I am running XP Home on a Toshiba Satellite 5005 S504.
I have recently performed a full restore (format) on the HDD, and was left
with basic Windows Xp Home ed. I installed various updates, then skipped up
to SP1. which resulted in error msg and bad driver for a sound device, which
I removed.
Sp1 was looping for a while, ending with a dreaded blue screen error msg.,
but appeared to have cleared. My laptop ran trouble free for a few days, and
seemd to be stable.
So I installed SP2 from a cd, and got the dreaded blue screen when I
attempted to reboot. Cold boot did not help. I keep getting a blue screen
when the boot cycle reaches "welcome".
The error msg is BAD_POOL_HEADER
Stop: 0x00000019 (0x00000020, 0x82E1B1D0, 0x 82 F1B200, 0x1A060004)
The latter numbers in parentheses change on each boot attemp.
I have been trying to solve this one for days.
I finally was able to remove SP2, and my machine stabilized. When I
attempted to install SP2 again, I ended up with the same problem: dreaded
blue screen.
I hope I have provided enough background info.
Please help.

I've had the exact same problem; I installed a new motherboard (MicroStar
K8N Neo), processor(AMD64 3200) and video card (ATI Radeon 9800 Pro). System
stabilized under a "repair" install of XP2. All hotfixes up to SP2 worked.
Tried "updating" device drivers per Windows Update; turned out the ones on
the ATI site were unstable, so I backed the drivers down to those on the
install disk. Everything remained stable. Installed XP2, and now I get the
bluescreen of death at least twice a day now. The error is BAD_POOL_HEADER
0x00000019; params are 0x00000020, 0xE18668E8, and then varying 3rd & 4th
(e.g. 0xE1866998 and 0x0c160401). Contrary to what the Help tells me, no
error message is sent upon startup, whether or not I have checked "Automatic
restart after error".
Is there anyone who has a clue?

Forgot to add that system is regularly cleared of malware by AdAware, Spybot
S&D, and Spyware Doctor. Current on Norton AntiVirus 2002. Router is
LinkSysWRT54GS secured w/128 bit WEP.
Thanks.

The third parameter on Stop messages often seems to be an address
somewhere within a related module. You can use the Support Tools
pstat utility (or dumpchk if you have a dump) to try to see if the address
is within the bounds of a driver.
E.g. open a command window and see if this pipeline finds anything:
pstat -s | find /i ".sys E186"
Etc.
BTW such diagnosis is normally off-topic for this newsgroup.
You may find better assistance on a newsgroups which specializes
in your OS.
Good luck

0x00000019: BAD_POOL_HEADER
A pool header issue is a problem with Windows memory allocation. Device
driver issues are probably the most common, but this can have diverse causes
including bad sectors or other disk write issues, and problems with some
routers. (By theory, RAM problems would be suspect for memory pool issues,
but I haven’t been able to confirm this as a cause.)

Did you check the manufacturer's web site for firmware updates?
It sounds as if there may be a fault in either the firmware or the hardware
design, I suggest you take this up with the motherboard manufacturer.
This applies to neophile too. (Note that not installing SP3 is only a temporary
solution as security updates will not be provided for SP2 indefinitely.)
