Bad_pool_error with laptop
Hey,
I recently installed Vista RC1 on my dell inspiron 6400 (Australian Model) Laptop. It has decent specs with and: ATI x1400 video card, core2 duo 2GHz processor, 1 gig ram I installed Vista with the power cable plugged in and everything went fine. After it was installed still everything was fine. I then wanted to move my laptop, so i unplugged the power adaptop (while vista was still running) and attempted to move it. I instantly got a 'Bad_Pool_Caller' blue screen error. So after restarting without the the cable plugged in i got the same error. I figured there must be a problem running on pure battery. So i plugged the cable back in and restared again...same error. I noticed the laptop does not recognise the cable is in, but still recharges the battery. I started windows in safe mode with networking and here i am now, its running fine in safe mode. If anyone could help me it would be Greatly appreciated. |

Bad_pool_error with laptop
hi,
interesting. I noticed that just yesterday also. I first did not know what happened. I took my notebook (same as yours E1505) home and just unplugged the power and did a shutdown. What I didn't see is the blue screen and the notebook rebooting while it was in my bag. Later at home I noticed that the bag was pretty warm and found out that the notebook was running on full all the time and drained the battery to 0. I had no idea what happened until I removed the power while it was running. Got the same BSOD. However, when I restarted the PC on just battery it booted up fine into Vista RC1. I plugged the power back in fine also. I guess unplugging it while it's running is not safe yet. let me know if you come across a solution. "Jonolomu" wrote in message ...

I'm glad im not alone. No solution yet, i have tried disableing most devices
as im sure its a device error, but i began to get new errors, such as BSOD 'page_fault_in_non_paged_area.' "Hilmar" wrote: hi, interesting. I noticed that just yesterday also.

Bad_pool_error with laptop
Found a workaround, bit of a pain tho, have a look
http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/...6633&SiteID=17 Aparently if you disable speedstep, disable a cpu, or rollback the bios it works fine. I deleted Vista, so im gna reinstall it and see if it works by disableing speedstep. |

Hi,
That was it exactly. fixed in 5728. I posted about it back in 5536. It was a bios issue with Dell e1505(Inspiron 6400) Intel Core duo laptops. Seems there was a problem with Dell Bios A07 and A08, which was causing a BSOD upon unplugging/undocking. Jeff "Hilmar" wrote in message ... seems to be fixed with 5728.
