Battlefield 4 BSOD after every multiplayer round

My PC crashes after every round of BF4 with a BSOD and the error "Bad_Pool_Caller". I have an AMD card and Windows 8 64 bit, I know that this is a known error but I was wondering if there is a fix for this yet?!

  • My game is fixed download the 13.11 AMD Beta drivers and reboot!

    Exact same problem post-patch.  The game ran flawlessly and crash-free before this patch.  Now it crashes the PC (blue screen) between every single multiplayer map.  This is 100% a problem with the patch, not our hardware.  BF3 runs flawlessly as does every other title I own.  Note, BF4 never crashed previous to this patch.

    I have looked further into this and have found that the issue ( BAD_POOL_CALLER ) may be caused by VPN software. If you are using such then either update it to the latest available version or remove it from your system.

  • Ever since the Patch BSOD Bad Pool Caller didnt happen before the patch happened with the patch learn how to QC your products before crashing peoples games

    I am running Win 7 64 bit.

    6 GB of RAM

    I have just bought a new card to run this game and have latest Nvidia drivers.

    I have wiped my machine 3 times, I have tried my GFX card in different slots. I swapped my Ram around all I desperate attempts to run smoothly. I have also done a game repair, reinstalled Punkbuster and Directx, all to try to fix this.

    Every single map change results in my PC crashing, If I leave game by the exit option I crash, how ever, If I alt tab and exit the game via the browser option, I do not crash.

    Single player is crashing, If I die during the campaign, when my machine attempts to reload the respawn point, my PC crashes.

    I get either a looping music or sound crash, I get a BSOD crash and a red screen of death crash. I DO NOT get this with any other game on my system.

    I had a similar issue during one or two of the updates in BF3, but they seemed to resolve their selves, I am guessing from something done at EA/Dices end.

    Please help, you have an amazing game here, just frustrating me to the point I where it isn't fun to play with the machine locking up 4 or 5 times a night when I sit down after work to play.

    I have looked in the event viewer and I am getting something called a Kernel error, which is the same error I had with the BF3 issues, but like I say they resolved them selves and I wasn't crashing after every map change.

    Thanks for quick reply. 

    I shall try the NvSteam, It seems i have 2 of this running according to my taskmanager. 

    I have done RAM tests with my PC makers Diagnostics all is fine, and i have the latest graphic drivers.

    I have used the disable command and was able to run afor a while last night, which is an improvement. I did crash, not the PC lock up turn off by power crash which is what was happening. 

    I got an error from DirectX which only happens every now and again. I was able to alt tab out with this error. 

    http://s93.photobucket.com/user/huxx/media/dxerror.png.html?sort=3&o=0 is a picture of the error. If any one is able to help any further. 

    Nevermind, crashing after every map again.
