Hello,
About two weeks ago I had a catastrophic failure of my X45 joy stick (Read: "I busted the throttle handle off my 6 year old unit"). Upgrading to the X52 pro was long over due, so I shopped around and ordered one. My machine is just over 6 months old and has been stable with my old config that entire time. I also have the Saitek flight Pro Yolk, and Saitek Pro rudder peddles. (I've also built a virtual cockpit, as an example of how serious a flyer I am.).
But with the addition of the X52 Pro stick I started to experience problems. It started where my flight sim, IL-2, would stutter. This progressed to desktop crashes, and now I'm getting Blue Screens of Death (BSOD), with the text "BAD_POOL_COLLECTOR". At first I was only getting these BSOD's while in IL-2, so I thought that piece of software was the problem. But now I am getting them from Aces High II as well. This told me that something else was the problem. I updated all the drivers and the SST software to the latest versions I pulled off your [Saitek's] website. But this did not resolve the issue. I then started to do some debugging on my own.
I gathered the info to read the memory dumps (Read the Debug Memory dump.
http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35246) and found that the problem was with the driver "SaiH0762.sys". When I looked up this driver I found out that it belongs to you guys [Saitek], so you get the first tech support email. To facilitate trouble shooting this ticket I've included the following: A list of my peripherals. A synopsis of my system environment. The relevant excerpt of the memory dump. An attached file with my DxDiag dump. Attached the last two BSOD Memory Dumps
I fired off the above email to Saitek and asked them for advice. They wanted the X52 unit back for testing. But there were other, long standing problems with this computer I realized, and I thought I might try fixing them before I paid to ship a new joy stick back to the manufacture. For about two months now I've been having two other problems, but I've been ignoring them because they wern't causing me problems and I didn't want to mess with them. They are:
The HP tech, knowing that the .NET framework was a part of this equation, now proposed that my .NET framework was corrupt and my system needed to be flashed back to the factory install (This would, of course, wipe all my data, save games, game profiles, emails, and basically make the machine like I just got it from the vendor). I've already started the process of backing up as much of my data as I possibly can. But I'm still looking at a week of installing software, and configuring this machine to get it back to where it is now. A prospect I am not looking forward to. So, before I take that draconian step, which I am preparing for, I thought I would ask you folks if you have any input. I've attached all my Raw Mini-dumps, and a DxDiag to facilitate Analysis.

But there were other, long standing problems with this computer I realized, and I thought I might try fixing them before I paid to ship a new joy stick back to the manufacture. For about two months now I've been having two other problems, but I've been ignoring them because they wern't causing me problems and I didn't want to mess with them. They are:
1) The pre-loaded software "HP MediaSmart TV" keeps reporting that it failed on bootup. There is a hot fix from HP available for this problem, so I downloaded the software <ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp42501-43000/sp42505.exe> and tried to run it. Everything seemed to work, right up until it needed to un-install the old version of the software. That's when it threw an exception "1628 failed to complete installation" and the update exited. I tried to manually un-install this software, but got the exact same error message.
2) When ever the system reboots from an automatic update I go into the "Windows Update ^ View update history" Where I see the worrisome status of "Failed" next to "Update to .NET framework 3.5 service pack 1 for the .NET framework assistant x64 kb963707"
I don't know what the HP MediaSmart TV is, I don't use it, I just wanted the errors on my system to go away so I could prove my system was stable before sending in the Joystick. So I contacted HP support to try and resolve these two problems. Their technician made a remote connection to my system and tried to do the update for HP MediaSmart TV herself, but got the exact same results. Then she had the idea of creating a new Admin user and trying the update under that profile. This is when things turned scary. Every time she would try to make a remote connection to my machine it would BSOD. So she talked me through the install to the HP MediaSmart TV update using the new Admin profile. But I got the same result. To make matters even more scary, I started getting BSOD's when doing simple tasks like "Log off user admin" = BSOD. "Exit application <Several at random>" = BSOD <Also at random>2) When ever the system reboots from an automatic update I go into the "Windows Update ^ View update history" Where I see the worrisome status of "Failed" next to "Update to .NET framework 3.5 service pack 1 for the .NET framework assistant x64 kb963707"
