Win 8 Regular BSOD Bad Pool Header, WinDBG points to ntoskrnl.exe

Crash dumps located here:

(short skydrive link)/1bacGMc

(unable to post link due to account being unverified)

Crashes occur at random time intervals, almost always at least once per day. I've ran Memtest86+ and tried updating possibly suspect drivers to no avail.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you are being told you cant post a link, or embed a picture (or any other restriction) you just need to post to one of these threads saying your account has not been validated http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/4d9b6981-6fa4-4ad8-b576-2e9241ee8cba/verify-your-account-5

We do need the actual DMP file as it contains the only record of the sequence of events leading up to the crash, what drivers were loaded, and what was responsible.  
WE NEED AT LEAST TWO DMP FILES TO SPOT TRENDS AND CONFIRM THE DIAGNOSIS.
If you are overclocking (pushing the components beyond their design) you should revert to default at least until the crashing is solved. If you dont know what it is you probably are not overclocking.
You may be able to get the DMP files without crashing by booting into safe mode (F8) with networking.
To enable us to assist you with your computer's BSOD symptoms, upload the contents of your "\Windows\Minidump" folder.  

The procedure: * Copy the contents of \Windows\Minidump to another (temporary) location somewhere on your machine. * Zip up the copy (compress them)

*Please upload them to a file sharing service like Skydrive or"Rapidshare" and put a link to them in your reply.

 

Link for how to  upload below. http://www.wikihow.com/Use-SkyDrive To ensure minidumps are enabled: * Go to Start, in the Search Box type: sysdm.cpl, press Enter. * Under the Advanced tab, click on the Startup and Recovery Settings... button. * Ensure that Automatically restart is unchecked. * Under the Write Debugging Information header select Small memory dump (256 kB) in the dropdown box (the 256kb varies). * Ensure that the Small Dump Directory is listed as %systemroot%\Minidump. * OK your way out. * Reboot if changes have been made. Please also run MSinfo32 and upload the output as well. To run MSinfo32 please go to start>run>MSinfo32 Go to "file" "save" and upload the saved file with the DMPS System specs are extremely useful so please include whatever you know.
Blue Screen View & Who Crashed are often wrong and should only be used in an emergency...

BAD_POOL_HEADER (19)
The pool is already corrupt at the time of the current request.
This may or may not be due to the caller.
The internal pool links must be walked to figure out a possible cause of
the problem, and then special pool applied to the suspect tags or the driver
verifier to a suspect driver.
Arguments:
Arg1: 0000000000000020, a pool block header size is corrupt.
Arg2: fffffa800c8fd230, The pool entry we were looking for within the page.
