Bug Check 0xC2: BAD_POOL_CALLER
The BAD_POOL_CALLER bug check has a value of 0x000000C2. This indicates that the current thread is making a bad pool request.

Parameters
The following parameters are displayed on the blue screen. Parameter 1 indicates the type of violation.

Parameter 1 Parameter 2 Parameter 3 Parameter 4 Cause of Error
0x00 0 Pool type Pool tag The current thread requested a zero-byte pool allocation.
0x01,
0x02,
or
0x04 Pointer to pool header First part of pool header contents 0 The pool header has been corrupted.
0x06 Reserved Pointer to pool header Pool header contents The current thread attempted to free pool which was already freed.
0x07 Reserved Memory contents of the pool block Pointer to pool header The current thread attempted to free pool which was already freed.
0x08 Current IRQL Pool type Size of allocation, in bytes The current thread attempted to allocate pool at an invalid IRQL.
0x09 Current IRQL Pool type Address of pool The current thread attempted to free pool at an invalid IRQL.
0x0A Address of pool Allocator's tag Tag being used in the attempted free The current thread attempted to free pool memory using the wrong tag.
(The memory may belong to another component.)

0x0B,
0x0C,
or
0x0D Address of pool Pool allocation's tag Bad quota process pointer The current thread attempted to release a quota on a corrupted pool allocation.
0x40 Starting address Start of system address space 0 The current thread attempted to free kernel pool at user-mode address.
0x41 Starting address Physical page frame Highest physical page frame The current thread attempted to free a nonallocated nonpaged pool address.
0x42
or
0x43 Address being freed 0 0 The current thread attempted to free a virtual address that was never in any pool.
0x50 Starting address Start offset in pages from beginning of paged pool Size of paged pool, in bytes The current thread attempted to free a nonallocated paged pool address.
0x60 Starting address 0 0 The current thread attempted to free an invalid contiguous memory address.
(The caller of MmFreeContiguousMemory s passing a bad pointer.)

0x99 Address being freed 0 0 The current thread attempted to free pool with an invalid address.
(This code can also indicate corruption in pool header.)

0x9A Pool type Number of bytes requested Pool tag The current thread marked an allocation request MUST_SUCCEED.
(This pool type is no longer supported.)

0x9B Pool type Number of bytes requested Caller's address The current thread attempted to allocate a pool with a tag of zero.
(This would be untrackable, and possibly corrupt the existing tag tables.)

0x9C Pool type Number of bytes requested Caller's address The current thread attempted to allocate a pool with a tag of "BIG".
(This would be untrackable, and possibly corrupt the existing tag tables.)



The _POOL_TYPE codes are enumerated in ntddk.h. In particular, zero indicates nonpaged pool and one indicates paged pool.

Cause
A bad pool request has been made by the current thread.

Resolving the Problem
Activate Driver Verifier to obtain more information about these errors. For details, see Driver Verifier.

Send feedback on this topic. / Built on Thursday, February 13, 2003
===================================================

Type verifier in Start Run, follow the wizard but choose All Drivers. This will slow down your computer and cause more blue screen crashes but will pinpoint what is causing the crash (if the original error message didn't). Once you fix it you rerun verifier and turn it off.

If you can't start after enabling verifier
choose Last Known Good Configuration at the Failed Boot menu (which will
start without verifier).


You will be creating a crash dump file in c:\windows\minidump every blue screen. Make sure you are set to record minidumps (Small Memory Dumps) - type it in Help to see how.

Then

If you have the XP SP2 Security Update CD

Install symbols from <CD Drive Letter>:\SUPPORT\SYMBOLS

Download
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devt [...] llx86.mspx

Load the crash dump file into windbg
and read what it says
Type
!Analyze -v
into Windbg's command line.
(this will hopefully tell you the faulty component)

If the above is too technical then email the crash dump files to davidc @ mvps.org. Don't send me lots of them. Just the one from your last crash after you turn verifier on. And only one per mail.

From Microsoft's web site:

A Stop 0xC2 message might occur after installing a faulty device driver,
system service, or firmware. If a Stop message lists a driver by name,
disable, remove, or roll back the driver to correct the problem. If
disabling or removing drivers resolves the issues, contact the manufacturer
about a possible update. Using updated software is especially important for
multimedia applications, antivirus scanners, DVD playback, and CD mastering
tools.

A Stop 0xC2 message might also be due to failing or defective hardware. If a
Stop message points to a category of devices (such as disk controllers, for
example), try removing or replacing the hardware to determine if it is
causing the problem.

If you encounter a Stop 0xC2 message while upgrading to Windows XP
Professional, the problem might be due to an incompatible driver, system
service, virus scanner, or backup. To avoid problems while upgrading,
simplify your hardware configuration and remove all third-party device
drivers and system services (including virus scanners) prior to running
setup. After you have successfully installed Windows XP Professional,
contact the hardware manufacturer to obtain compatible updates.
