Hello,
Long time lurker, first time poster. I am out of ideas, hopefully someone will have an idea.
So I began to get the bad pool caller error a month or two ago on startup. I did some searching around and I found it was likely due to drivers. So I tried to boot into safe mode, which worked, and updated all the drivers. Still was getting the blue screen.
So I decided to just wipe my drive and reinstall windows and this is where my current problem exists. I have the windows installer on an external hard drive and boot to it but only get to about 80% of "copying files" before it gives me the bad pool caller bsod. So, whether or not I'm correct on this I think it must be hardware... so here is what I have tried:
-tested ram
-replaced ram
-replaced motherboard
-removed gpu and tried onboard video
-attempted to install windows onto 2 separate hdd
So the only hardware left is the CPU or the power supply. It can't be software because there is none (is this correct thinking). Can the CPU or power supply cause this bad pool caller? I'm at my wits end here.
-I7 8700k @ 3.7ghz (no overclock) w/ cooler master hyper 212 cpu cooler
-Asus prime z370 pii
-16GB (8GB x 2) DDR4 3000mhz
-500GB Samsung 860 EVO SSD (x3)
-Nvidia gtx 1070 ti
-Corsair CX750M
-Windows 10 Home
I'm thinking it must be the cpu at this point, but before I pull the trigger some confirmation would be nice. I'm pretty computer savvy, but not like alot of you folks are.
Thank you
