Blue Screen after gaming for a little bit

[jcastro_805]

Whenever I play a game, whether it be Fallout 4, Watch_Dogs, or anything else, after a few minutes of playing my computer will show a blue screen with the error BAD_POOL_HEADER when there is an error, and sometimes no error code at all. My Graphics Card is a Gigabyte 290x and my CPU is a Core i7 2600

BAD_POOL_HEADER = This indicates that the pool header is corrupted.

 

We need more information, like the parameters to correctly source the problem.

It may seem that the cause of the problem would be the RAM in your system, hence (paged pool memory).

Bad Pool means bad RAM.

Try using individual sticks of RAM at a time and see if you can pinpoint one that is problematic.
