Hi,

All of the attached DMP files are of the BAD_POOL_CALLER (c2) bugcheck.

Code:

tcpip and NETIO in the call stack, possible adapter / 3rd party firewall antivirus conflicts...

Running a !poolval on the address of the block of pool being deallocated to check for pool corruption (4th parameter) shows:

Code:
0: kd> !poolval fffffa8003d322b0
Pool page fffffa8003d322b0 region is Unknown

Validating Pool headers for pool page: fffffa8003d322b0

Pool page [ fffffa8003d32000 ] is [COLOR=#ff0000][I][B]VALID[/B][/I][/COLOR].
Definitely looking like device drivers at this point, let's move on:

1. Remove and replace Norton with Windows 8's built-in Windows Defender for temporary troubleshooting purposes - https://support.norton.com/sp/en/us...5C4AC0D9BB760C424090B42D016AEDD.4?pvid=f-home

2. I see TuneUpUtilitiesDriver64.sys in the loaded drivers list. What are you using this software for, what purpose? Are you registry cleaning with it?

Regards,

Patrick
 
I use tune up utilities to disable programs running in the background that I don't need in order to optimize my computer. I had recently install Norton and now that I think about thats when the BSOD started
 
Got it, thanks for the information in regards to TuneUp. Remove Norton as I recommended and let me know how the system behaves afterwards.

Regards,

Patrick
