bad_pool_caller in vista

Every so often, my Vista 64-bit operating system blue-screens within about three minutes of booting up. The blue-screen indicates BAD_POOL_CALLER. Searching on the Internet indicates that this points to a bad driver or bad RAM. I have used http://www.driveragent.com/ to verify that I have the latest drivers for all of my hardware. I have used memtest86 to verify that my RAM is good. I am not overclocking my computer. Provided my computer survives the first five minutes after boot, it can run indefinitely without problem. It does not crash playing 3D games, running VMWare, running "burn-in" software.

I have not yet performed these steps, but apparently you can examine the debug memory dump to help narrow down the problem. The steps are listed here. I will update this answer with additional information as it becomes available.
