When I use it for about a few minutes, it turns to blue screen and restarts my PC, it says:

Your computer encountered a fatal error and needs to restart.
BAD_POOL_HEADER
How do you fix this problem?

But since it's Windows 8 your trying out... Did you get all compatible drivers for your laptop?
What is make/model of laptop?
Is all the software your running up to date and Win 8 compatible
Try using bluescreenview.. Let it read some of your dump files and give you some insight

It could be a hardware problem>> Possibly RAM

i'm using a vaio e-series vpcek25eg model.
amd dual core e-450 apu (1.65 ghz)
64-bit with 2gb memory and 320 gb hard disk drive.
this happened when i tried to install freeyoutubedownloader software in the internet... it asked for something to install, i just clicked yes, and then booom..error occur. i checked on my control panel settings to see if the program was installed, but it wasn't. nothing new was added to my laptop.. BUT still the bad_pool_header is there that reboots my laptop.
i tried to reformat my unit last week, and it was okay.. until this freeyoutubedownloader did this to me.

It could give you some indication of what's happening... What the bluescreens are related too
Try a scan with OTL and let me see the logs please
Download [color="#FF0000"]OTL.exe[/color] (http://"http://oldtimer.geekstogo.com/OTL.exe")[/url] by OldTimer to your Desktop.
- Close all windows and right click on OTL.exe and choose to "Run as Administrator"
- Click Run Scan and let the program run uninterrupted.
- It will produce two logs for you, one will pop up - OTL.txt, the other will be saved on your Desktop - Extras.txt. Post both logs in this thread.

Do you have an ASSIST button on your laptop?
Why not try installing back to Win 7....
Quote
Press the ASSIST button while your VAIO computer is off to start VAIO Care Rescue.
If the Edit Boot Options window is displayed, press the Enter key.
VAIO Care Rescue starts.
If the display language selection window appears, select your desired language and click OK.
Click Start recovery wizard.
Follow the on-screen instructions.

Did your computer come with Windows 7 preinstalled?

Or it only doesn't work with the installation of a trial version of Win 8?
Do you like Linux? How bout trying Ubuntu or similiar?
