I just recently (within the past few hours), started receiving a Windows BSOD error "Bad_Pool_Header". Looked it up through Windows and it seems to be a developer problem...yet I do absolutely zero programming on this machine as I do not know how to program anything. It's happened several times tonight, mostly while I have Steam up & running and playing games such as H1Z1 and the Dead Island series. 

 

I have received BSOD errors in the past since the forced upgrade to Win10 (had Win8.1 previously). I've done virus scans, malware scans in both regular and safe mode and have come up with absolute jack. I do remember seeing something that recommended unplugging all hardware connected to the pc other than the mouse and keyboard to see if the error(s) are cause by hardware, but you guessed it...I have nothing extra plugged in other than my ethernet cable.

 

I do have a 120gb SSD coming in the mail tomorrow and plan to use it as a boot drive for windows and maybe a select few games on there that I play frequently. Would swapping windows over to the ssd help out in my case?
