Solved BSOD multiple stop codes seams to happen at random times

[jmoser]

Got another BSOD. I was on chrome, closed out of it, went into windows update and installed a definition update for MSE, and a few seconds after I closed out of that it happened.

How many sticks of ram do you have?

 

[jmoser]

I have 4 sticks

 

[koolkat77]

What were the results from the memtest the other day? Did it give you red boxes?

 

[jmoser]

After I replaced two of the ram sticks it came out clean. I let it do a full 8 runs on all of my current ram and it's good.

Hmm okay

See the bug check you get points at memory or device driver.

STOP 0x0000004E: PFN_LIST_CORRUPT
Usual causes: Device driver, memory

Now I just want to make sure its not your ram so what I want you to do again is
insert one stick each in your computer in different slots, see how your computer
performs with that stick in the different slots. Test this way with all 4 sticks and
let me know.

There are chances that it could be a bad mobo..(just a guess, cause its a new pc)
so once we know the ram is fine, we might do some hardware related tests.

Also let me know if the computer is under its warranty.

I had replaced my motherboard before just in case before I posted here, but yeah I have 5 days of free replacement left for everything. I'll start going through testing every stick in every slot then get back to you asap.

ok here it is

 

[koolkat77]

It seems okay to me..

Since you're warranty is about to come to an end I'd suggest you to take it back to the vendor
and explain the problems you're having. You are getting BSODs on and off verifier so it makes
sure of none software, neither hardware. But it "could" be hardware incompatibility.

Sorry that I couldn't be of much help,...please let us know what you decide

And once you've got replacements, do come back and update this thread. Let us know what
solved your problems/or if you have any other problems with you comp.

I know this post is late but I did fix my problem. It ended up being corrupted memory. I'm not sure why mem-test showed no errors at first but I ran each stick of ram through a second set of twenty some passes in each slot and eventually found a bad stick. I replaced it and haven't had a blue screen in months. Thank you so much for your time and effort trying to help me. I appreciate it very much.

Glad you found the culprit, thanks for getting back to post your results.
