this is kind of related, but not to darkfall...

After thinking about this for a while, I remembered I had a system that i had a bad power supply on, and would get a bad pool error...

It would only occur with certain games...

Additionally I had an old server that would get bad pool on a bad memory slot... I first thought it was the memory, i tested them one at a time, and everything was fine, so narrowed it down to just being a faulty signal to the slot. hopefully that helps? even if it's not immediate help.
