Out of the blue question here:
Are you running a VIA chipset motherboard and install the IDE Accelerator Driver?

Reason I ask is because "BAD_POOL_HEADER" can show up as a message for one of many different crashes (last count I saw was over 180 different circumstances can cause it). However, VIA recently released an IDE Accelerator driver for their chipsets. When it works, it's wonderful. When it doesn't, at best it causes a "BAD_POOL_HEADER" whenever you use Winamp with its burning software installed... at worst, it sends the affected PC into infinite reboot loops or completely hose data on the drive
