Help Me If You Can

[RedBarron]

Ok i know this isn't about hacking but its a computer related subject and i though it to be most appropriate here. My computer has been acting up ever since i installed my video card at the beginning of the summer, sometimes it randomly shuts down with a bsod and has an error BAD_POOL_HEADER. I have no fucking idea whats going on with it, i did a clean install of all the drivers, and i tried a lot of things, only thing i can think of that the card is overheating, my pc is, or my ram is turned to shit. Please any help (good help) would be appriciated, and yes i am the king of googling things so that was my first order when it happened. So please and thankyou to anyone.

Ahhh! XP Media center sucks balls!! >.<

anyways... Maybe your graphics card just isn't compatible with something else. That's probably why... but I'm not totally sure.
I hooked up a graphics card to a different computer I owned, and it didn't work right when it was in, but when it was out it worked fine.
Like when it was in, it made it better for playing games (obviously), but it disabled a lot of other things, like Windows Aero, and had a bunch of errors.

I can't tell you the exact problem, since I'm not there looking at it, but chances are, the graphics card isn't compatible.
Or is it always like that, even after you take the card out??
