BAD_POOL_CALLER bug check has a value of 0x000000C2
In particular, for situations with memory pool corruption, run the Windows Memory Diagnostics tool, to try and isolate the physical memory as a cause.
If its not bad ram its a driver. For more information, see Driver Verifier.

I'm going to take a wild guess that you have a laptop, maybe a R2?
Select the link below and check the BSOD analyzer.

It would also help if you gave us a little background.
What device did you recently install that may have created this issue or what software have you updated or installed. Have you attempted a restore point, etc...
If you have attempted overclocking I would suggest you restore GPU and BIOS to defaults and check system stability.

Also, if you are working with a HDD, schedule a "chkdsk". Also using administrator rights run sfc /scannow. (space between sfc and /scannow

chkdsk and sfc /scannow correct damaged sectors and repair Windows operating system. All of which can cause sporatic BSOD and freezes. Support Assist does not apply in this instance.
Good luck.

Since it is a new laptop I would call to have it replaced. I think you can return within a certain amount of time.
