after finishing my last message, I got up to use the bathroom, I was only gone a few minutes, but when I got back, there was yet another Bad_Pool_Header bsod waiting for me.
I am beginning to wonder if I should just reinstall windows. unfortunately, I do not own a windows 7 OS install CD, so a repair install is out. My only option is a factory restore. I miss the days when owning a windows license meant you had an OS install disc. it really irritates me that if want repair install capability I will have to pay for a second windows 7 ultimate licenese
