Have you checked on line what possible causes a BAD POOL CALLER has and how to fix it? This is usually caused by bad drivers for any hardware you just installed or bad links in your Windows registry.

So please do run some cleaning software first (like CCleaner, followed by a free registry scan (and fix), followed by something that checks all hardware on your system and compares if it needs updated drivers, like Driver Checker.

Hi guys.

It's my firts post here.
Well, last week I update to same Boinc version and for my surprise I'm getting the same error, 2 or 3 times per day.

I already have checked hardware, cleaned temps, check disks, checked for update drivers, with no success.

So, last Saturday I decided to stop Boinc to start and the problem does not happen again.

If you need specific information about it please ask me.

Best regards,

Guto.
