BAD POOL CALLER?

I hope someone can help me. I just bought new parts for my computer, new video card(Radeon7000, 64MB), new hard drive(seagate 80GB at 7200), new dvd/cd-rw(Memorex combo drive) and windows xp home edition. I had a motherboard which is a ABIT NF7, and I have a memory stick on it which is only a 256mb PC2700 333 MHz (which I used from my old computer). After I got it all together I started installing windows xp home edition, after 15 percent of instalation it started telling me that a file could not be installed, hit enter to try again or hit esc to continue, it was doing it at least 20 times and then the blue screen appeared with the writting "BAD POOL CALLER", I formated the hard drive and tried it again, but same thing happened for 4 times. I'm not sure what it is, is anyone there who could help me out.
if you have any help please write back on here or send me and e-mail to anesf02@yahoo.com
Thank you

Try removing any PCI/ISA cards that you don't need for install (except video card of course) and then do the install again. If it does not fail, start adding cards after install until you receive the message again. Once you get the message, replace the last card installed.

I ran across the same problem when installing Windows XP Professional on a Pentium III 933Mhz machine that I was working on. I tried unsuccessfully for days to get the operating system to install, but it would stop at about 80% with the same errors you mentioned. (I had 768 MB of ram in the machine at the time.) I eventually figured out that one of the sticks of ram was bad. I removed that stick of ram and Windows installed perfectly and has been running fine since.

You can download the memory diagnostic test from Microsoft at

P.S. You may also want to consider increasing your ram to 512k. I believe you would be much happier with the performance of your machine. I personally find that Windows XP runs a bit sluggish on 256 MB, especially once you install all of your other software and have multiple things running.

Good Luck!
