Mate, Just to cover bases there is a Intel Driver update utility HERE. You didn't state whether or not you had checked the Intel web site or not. So I apologize if you already had. The only crash dump file that I had access to was in your post number 4. It didn't have Special Pool or Pool tracking enabled. (See Below) Verify Flags Level 0x00000000 STANDARD FLAGS: [X] (0x00000000) Automatic Checks [ ] (0x00000001) Special pool [ ] (0x00000002) Force IRQL checking [ ] (0x00000008) Pool tracking [ ] (0x00000010) I/O verification [ ] (0x00000020) Deadlock detection [ ] (0x00000080) DMA checking [ ] (0x00000100) Security checks [ ] (0x00000800) Miscellaneous checks ADDITIONAL FLAGS: [ ] (0x00000004) Randomized low resources simulation [ ] (0x00000040) Enhanced I/O checking [ ] (0x00000200) Force pending I/O requests [ ] (0x00000400) IRP logging [X] Indicates flag is enabled If Special Pool was enabled we *might* have found the culprit, because verifier additionally checks the padding that is used when an allocation is rounded up to an even page boundary, that allocation is then surrounded by Invalid pages. Do you have a crash dump with just Special Pool enabled? If does work it would be worth tagging all non-microsoft drivers. I can't see what, if any, drivers were tagged because it is a mini kernel dump. To be fair testing on another 64bit box is not a real help, unless it was a 64 bit version of your Gateway FX530. I don't have access to your IRQL crashes or even the one where Special Pool was enabled, unless you want to make them available, so I can't comment on those. Another possible problem is that you appear to have multiple AV / Malware products installed. (F-Secure, Spybot - Search & Destroy 2, McAfee and of course Malwarebytes.) As a suggestion, you could uninstall them and just use Microsoft Windows Defender and Malwarebytes Pro just to see if the problem persists. Sometime some AV / Malware products get over zealous. *if* the Dev's find that it is Driver related, you might not be able to get a fix because your hardware is now 7 years old and some vendors may have marked your hardware end-of-life.
