The past 2 days I've gotten a blue screen with a "Bad-Pool-Header" error message. The computer has shut itself down and seems to reboot OK, until the next day - when I get another BSOD and same error message. How serious is this? Is my hard drive going? Can this be fixed or should I be looking to replace my laptop? Following is some info regarding properties for my laptop:

Thanks for your help.

What you need to do is reboot your computer while doing so press F8 or whatever gets you in to the boot screen then first try with safe mode if that doesn't work try last known good configuration

It would help to have the complete error message so I am going to suggest the following for you.

• Please download the Event Viewer Tool by Vino Rosso VEW and save it to your Desktop:
• Double-click VEW.exe
• Under 'Select log to query', select (as appropriate):
  
  • Application
  • System
• Under 'Select type to list', select (as appropriate):
  
  • Error
  • Information
  • Warning

Then use the 'Date of events' or 'Number of events' as follows:

Either:

• Click the radio button for 'Number of events'
  Type 3 in the 1 to 20 box (or any number from 1 to 20)
  Then click the Run button.
  Notepad will open with the output log.
  
  
• Click the radio button for 'Date of events'
  In the From: boxes type today's date (presuming the crash happened today) 29 06 2012
  In the To: boxes type today's date (presuming the crash happened today) 29 06 2012
  Then click the Run button.
  Notepad will open with the output log.

Please post the Output log in your next reply

I rebooted my computer while pressing F8 and choose "last known good configuration" when the reboot screen options appeared. Since doing that, I have not had another blue screen. Thanks to everyone who responded to my problem!
