Re: Continuous Re-Boot STOP 0x000000C2: BAD POOL CALLER



see http://aumha.org/win5/kbestop.htm
scroll down to 0x000000C2: BAD_POOL_CALLER

A Stop 0xC2 message might also be due to failing or defective hardware.

Use a working pc and get a memory test utility, place on diskette, and run it on the problem pc.
Run a RAM memory test. MEMTEST86 is one such utility.
See http://www.memtest86.com/


To attempt to get your Windows back to the prior known good configuration:

When the pc is booting up ,Tap F8 Function key to get bootup options. Tap & keep repeat tapping F8 !

When presented with bootup choices, select "Last Known Good Configuration".

Hopefully, that will result in your being able to have a working Windows XP.
