Just what is the PFN_LIST? What do you do if you keep getting a BSOD and it
lists PFN_LIST_CORRUPT as the problem?
 
Hi Chuck,

Possibly caused by bad/faulty ram, but there are other causes as well. This
article was written for Win2000, but the problem and the means of resolving
it are the same for WindowsXP:

How to Troubleshoot a "STOP 0x0000004E PFN_LIST_CORRUPT" Error Message
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=291806

If you want to check the memory, there are free programs here:

But keep in kind that a thorough test can only be done with test equipment
at a computer shop. At the price of memory today, you may find that the test
costs more than a replacement stick.
