BleepingComputer.com: bad pool header when using internet

Hello I have a hp dx2450 that gets a bad pool header whenever I open a browser window. I then have to unplug the enet cable before it will boot without the error. I can then replug the enet cable with no error until again when I open a browser window.I have been to hp.com and updated all drivers and bios, but am now at a loss as to what to do to fix this error. I used bluescreenviewer and have theis same minidump repeatedly

I can download program updates for anti-virus and malwarebytes with no problem. I also ran a sfc.


well, somehow i fixed it. What I did, was uninstall the google chrome browser. Then tried to update the internet explorer to beta 9. The beta 9 got hung about halfway and I had to use task manager to stop it. When I rebooted, everything is working fine. I am assuming the problem lied with google chrome or that by trying to install the beta 9 ie that some files were changed although it did not complete and whatever did change fixed the problem of the bad pool header.
