Hello, I'm getting a bad pool header randomly while I'm browsing on chrome. It seems to only occur when I'm multitasking as in either having multiple tabs open or browsing when I have a download going in the background. Seeing if anyone can help me isolate the problem..

My build is only a few months old, I just did a clean install a few days ago hoping it would fix it but I just got the blue screen again. I remember on my old PC that I had awhile ago had the same problem on Windows 8.1 and ended up finding the cause was my avast antivirus. After I uninstalled it, never had any issue. On my current build though, I'm running webroot & malwarebytes.

My specs are
Asus Maximus VII
Intel I5 6600K (stock)
Corsair DDR4, 16GB
GTX 980
2 EVO SSD

All drivers are up to date, any theories? No problems with anything else, only while browsing the web

download and run whocrashed: http://www.resplendence.com/whocrashed
it will look at errors and may give you a driver name

copy paste results here if its not obvious what cause is


if it doesn't give a file name, follow option one here: http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/5560-bsod-minidump-configure-create-windows-10-a.html
and then do thsi step below: Small dump file - Have Windows Create a Small Memory Dump (Minidump) on BSOD

that will create a file in c/windows/minidump
copy that file to documents
upload the copy from documents to a cloud server and share link here

Someone who can read the files will help you fix it (I can help with whocrashed but not these).
