12+
13+
**Applies to:** :heavy_check_mark: Windows VMs
14+
15+
This article helps you resolve an issue where a Microsoft Azure virtual machine (VM) experiences the **BAD_POOL_HEADER** bug check with the stop code 0x00000019.
16+
17+
## Symptoms
18+
19+
When you use [Boot diagnostics](./boot-diagnostics.md) to view the screenshot of a VM, the Windows operating system (OS) displays the **BAD_POOL_HEADER** bug check (0x00000019).

22+
23+
## Cause
24+
25+
The pool is already corrupted at the time of the current request.
26+
27+
This may or may not be due to the caller.
28+
29+
A dump analysis is required to identify from where or what is causing the pool corruption.
30+
31+
## Collect a memory dump for troubleshooting
32+
33+
If you experience this error, [collect an OS memory dump file](./collect-os-memory-dump-file.md) and then [create a support request](https://ms.portal.azure.com/#blade/Microsoft_Azure_Support/HelpAndSupportBlade/overview?DMC=troubleshoot) for Azure support to troubleshoot and diagnose the issue.
