I've had the exact same problem; I installed a new motherboard (MicroStar
K8N Neo), processor(AMD64 3200) and video card (ATI Radeon 9800 Pro). System
stabilized under a "repair" install of XP2. All hotfixes up to SP2 worked.
Tried "updating" device drivers per Windows Update; turned out the ones on
the ATI site were unstable, so I backed the drivers down to those on the
install disk. Everything remained stable. Installed XP2, and now I get the
bluescreen of death at least twice a day now. The error is BAD_POOL_HEADER
0x00000019; params are 0x00000020, 0xE18668E8, and then varying 3rd & 4th
(e.g. 0xE1866998 and 0x0c160401). Contrary to what the Help tells me, no
error message is sent upon startup, whether or not I have checked "Automatic
restart after error".

Is there anyone who has a clue?
