Well lets start off. Two days ago I was playing a computer game, When my computer suddenly shut off. After it booted back up it kept flashing a quick bsod at the windows 7 loading screen when it says starting up. Most of the time I can't make out these bsod's. I do get into my windows eventually. Then after a while windows bsod's with nstokrnl.exe errors.

This is a link to some of my dump files, https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=8985519D2ED37D64&id=8985519D2ED37D64#cid=8985519D2ED37D64&id=8985519D2ED37D64!105

Now, I have ran 3 different memory tests, They all come out ok.

It can't be my hard drive, Because I put a new one in and when it loads the windows 7 disc it also crashes when it says starting up with a BAD_POOL_HEADER BSOD.

I removed my gpu, And played around with the ram. With no avail nothing. It has to be hardware, Since my hard drive was completely removed, And it still bsod'd on the windows 7 disc.

I am thinking it is my motherboard, So please try to help me.

I just want to know what the issue is.

I did try my ram on my friends computer, And it seemed to start up fine and run fine.

My specs are,

ASUS M488T-M Mobo
x2 G-Skill Ripjaws 1333
AMD Radeon 6870
AMD Phenom x4 965
Seagate Barrucua 500gb 7200 RPM

That doesn't fix anything, Like I said with the hard drive that windows 7 is on removed, I can't install windows 7 on a fresh hard drive because it blue screens with the disc.

The thing is that the BAD_POOL_HEADER BSOD happens when I didn't have my hard drive plugged in. I had a fresh hard drive plugged in. When I went to install windows 7 it crashed when the disc said starting up. I can't even install windows on any hard drives right now. It can't be driver related, It has to be hardware related. I am leaning towards my PSU, or Mobo. I really next a proffessional opinion.

I listed hardware diags above; a bare-bones testing of the PC might show something. Motherboards are difficult to pinpoint errors on; PSU's can be tested - but thorough testing is more difficult, requiring specialist tools.

Replacing your parts with known good parts is one way of narrowing down the problem - any friends/colleagues that might help you with this (part-swapping/testing)?

I have figured it out that is has to be mobo or cpu related, But I have no way of knowing. When I actually get on windows, Programs constantly crash. It seems memory related, So I am thinking mobo.
