Windows 8.1 recurring BSoD (BAD_POOL_HEADER) with Bootcamp

Dump files - https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=5D2B2627890829C!462&authkey=!AGLwKEUk2zRCl eM&ithint=file%2c.zip

I just upgraded my Windows 8 Pro to Windows 8.1 Pro and have been getting these BSoD's as soon as I reach the start screen.

Had to restart several times just to get into one working section, but lately since 3 days I can barely even boot in.

The BSoD shows right in the middle of the boot screen.

I have tried reinstalling Windows, it didn't work.

I am using mid 2011 21.5" iMac with Bootcamp.

The dump files show its a problem with MacHALDriver.sys but I can't boot into Windows any longer, so can't disable the PnP driver.

Please help!

iMac, Windows 8, mid 2011 21.5" iMac base model

There may well be but it is years since I supported MS Windows.

Those two suggestions did not work, I would post your question on the Boot Camp forum.


Doing a web search it seems that this error is known but apart from the uPnP disabling which you cannot do I can find no other answer.


Try the other forum and hopefully someone there will be of help.
