BAD Pool Error

hey guys

I'm running Parallel 5608 or whatever the newest one is.

My parallels randomly crashes with a blue screen reads " bad pool"

My setup is 17inch macbook pro intel with 4 gigs of ram

I allocated 2 gigs to VM.

All I'm running in windows is a poker site and some poker software. It's reading off a database I'm running in windows.

Why does it crash? and how can i fix it ?

after i go to:
hKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\

how do i find the upper and lower filters?

or do i just got to the direction in the first jpg you posted?

 

Exactly follow pictures, up to letter
Class\4dxxx and so on

Please perform backup of Virtual Machine using one of the suggestions in
Parallels Desktop for Mac user guide from
http://www.parallels.com/en/download/file/doc/Parallels_Desktop_for_Mac_User_Guide.pdf
on page 243, e.g cloning Virtual Machine, or simply copying Virtual
machine folder (when Parallels Desktop is in stopped state), such
operations if incorrectly performed can lead to data loss.

 

Hi ,

I did the exact instructions and I still get blue screens. The ones i'm getting now are "page fault" titled. The error is fairly fast so I can't see the whole description.

I've left my computer on for 10 hours + without an issue. I leave a poker program on that tracks table stats. It runs fine for unlimited amount of hours. When i try to play poker it crashes within a few hours. Also it seems once it crashes it getes more frequent.

please advise on why this is happening. I bought a newer version of parallels to fix this issue. however, it's not being fixed.

i found a similar issue on this thread:
http://forum.parallels.com/pda/index.php/t-15051.html


please help parallels team.

 

What is build version?

 

I bought 5108 i think

once that crashed

i downloaded the newest one i think 5608?

currently the newest one online. I have the demo to see if it would fix the crashing.

so currently the issue is with 5608

 

Try to disable power management in Windows XP

sorry but I don't see where it shows me how to disable the power management

 

Set everything to never

 

Just tested it
I got blue screen in 2 hours of playing.

The blue error said something like " has detected error something something"


any way I can log it and show you?

 

error happen again

said

page fault in non-default error

or something

it's starting to happen more and more frequently

 

I need screenshot of BSOD
Also What is OS type is it matching OS installed,
I suppose you need to check Windows on viruses too try this
ftp://ftp.drweb.com/pub/drweb/cureit/cureit.exe

 

The screen is too fast

is there a way for me to log that crash?

i'll keep trying

 

Please check for viruses first, Most of BSOD entries you can find in System logs
