Solved PFN_LIST_CORRUPT 0x0000004e BSOD problem and can't solve it

[Timmytubby]

Dear All,

can somebody give me a clue about this BSOD. I've already updated my drivers but didn't solve the problem. When i run the windows driver checker i immidately get a BSOD after restart. Hopefully somebody can pinpoint me to the cause of the problem. I've made some screenshots of bluescreenviewer. If more information is neccessary i will provide it.

This has caused already 10 BSOD, and i have no real evidence of any program wich is causing the problem, or any other piece of software.

Thanx for the assistance

We do need the DMP file as it contains the only record of the sequence of events leading up to the crash, what drivers were loaded, and what was responsible.
Please attach the DMP files to your next post not to post one.

If you are overclocking STOP

You may be able to get the DMP files without crashing by booting into safe mode (F8) with networking.

To enable us to assist you with your computer's BSOD symptoms, upload the contents of your "\Windows\Minidump" folder. If empty (or non existent) please look in the following folders. C:\windows (the dmp should be called memory.dmp), and C:\windows\LiveKernelReports\Watchdog.

The procedure:

* Copy the contents of \Windows\Minidump to another (temporary) location somewhere on your machine.
* Zip up the copy.
* Attach the ZIP archive to your post using the "paperclip" (file attachments) button.
*If the files are too large please upload them to a file sharing service like "Rapidshare" and put a link to them in your reply.

To ensure minidumps are enabled:

* Go to Start, in the Search Box type: sysdm.cpl, press Enter.
* Under the Advanced tab, click on the Startup and Recovery Settings... button.
* Ensure that Automatically restart is unchecked.
* Under the Write Debugging Information header select Small memory dump (256 kB) in the dropdown box (the 256kb varies).
* Ensure that the Small Dump Directory is listed as %systemroot%\Minidump.
* OK your way out.
* Reboot if changes have been made.

Dear Zigzag3143,

I've uploaded the files in rapidshare:
https://rapidshare.com/#!rapidsave|829258324-639882923

The only note is , i've switched at 22-5 from kernelfile to smalldump, so perhaps the kerneldump is an old file

Also the small dump is attached.

Thnx for the help
The notebook is not overclocked. It's functions are all default.

Do you have G-Data and Microsoft Security Essentials installed? If so, please remove one or the other. Having two realtime security programs that accomplish the same tasks can cause conflicts such as crashes, freezing, and/or instability with programs because they utilize the same resources or scan the same system files simultaneously.


Problematic Software:

Start Menu\Programs\Driver Genius Professional Edition	Public:Start Menu\Programs\Driver Genius Professional Edition	Public

• We do not recommend automated driver update software. It often finds drivers for devices similar to but not exactly the same as the hardware actually on the system. This can lead to conflicts and blue screen crashes. If you need help finding driver updates for a certain device, please start a thread in Drivers - Windows 7 Forums instead of using software. Driver updates are not always necessary and some updates can actually decrease system stability rather than increase it, so it is usually better not to update unless a device or its driver is causing problems with the system. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Crashes are pointing to memory problems or driver conflicts.

• If you are overclocking any hardware, please stop.
  
  
• Run the boot version of Memtest86+ paying close attention to Parts 2 and 3 of the tutorial. Also, in case Memtest86+ misses anything and comes up with no errors, run the extended version of the Windows Memory Diagnostics Tool for at least five passes. These you may want to run overnight since they take a long time to complete (run them an hour before bed each of the next two nights and check before going to sleep that they are still running).
  
     Warning

  Before you proceed with the following, answer these two questions: Are you still under warranty? Does your warranty allow you to open up the machine to check hardware? If you are unsure of the answers to these questions, contact your system manufacturer. :warn:WARNING: The steps that follow can void your warranty!!!
  
  For Part 3: If You Have Errors: If you swap any memory components, follow these steps for ESD safety:
  1. Shut down and turn off your computer.
  2. Unplug all power supplies to the computer (AC Power then battery for laptops, AC power for desktops)
  3. Hold down the power button for 30 seconds to close the circuit and ensure all power drains from components.
  4. Make sure you are grounded by using proper grounding techniques, i.e. work on an anti-static workbench, anti-static desk, or an anti-static pad. Hold something metallic while touching it to the anti-static surface, or use an anti-static wristband to attach to the anti-static material while working. If you do not have an anti-static workbench, desk, or pad, you can use your computer tower/case by finding a metal hold in it, such as a drive bay.
  Once these steps have been followed, it is safe to remove and replace components within your computer.
  
  
• An underlying driver may be incompatible\conflicting with your system. Run Driver Verifier to find any issues. To run Driver Verifier, do the following:
  
  a. Backup your system and user files
  b. Create a system restore point
  c. If you do not have a Windows 7 DVD, Create a system repair disc
  d. In Windows 7:

  • Click the Start Menu
  • Type verifier in Search programs and files (do not hit enter)
  • Right click verifier and click Run as administrator
  • Put a tick in Create custom settings (for code developers) and click next
  • Put a tick in Select individual settings from a full list and click next
  • Set up the individual settings as in the image and click next
    View attachment 214797
  • Put a tick in Select driver names from a list
  • Put a tick next to all non-Microsoft drivers.
  • Click Finish.
  • Restart your computer.

  
  If Windows cannot start in normal mode with driver verifier running, start in safe mode. If it cannot start in safe mode or normal mode, restore the system restore point using http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/700-system-restore.html OPTION TWO.
  
  If you are unable to start Windows with all drivers being verified or if the blue screen crashes fail to create .dmp files, run them in groups of 5 or 10 until you find a group that causes blue screen crashes and stores the blue screen .dmp files.​
  The idea with Verifier is to cause the system to crash, so do the things you normally do that cause crashes. After you have a few crashes, upload the crash reports for us to take a look and try to find patterns.
  
  When you are ready to disable Verifier: Start Menu -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Right click Command Prompt -> Run as administrator -> Type the following command and then Enter:
  verifier /reset​
  -> Restart your computer.

Thanx for your reply,

i will try the first steps. But cause the notebook is still under warranty i will not open it for a memory swap. If that is the case, i will go to my supplier to let them do the memory swap.

I will try to do this in a day or 2 and will reply at whenever the news is good or bad.

Thanx a lot

 

[Timmytubby]

Got a new bod,

after this BOD i removed security essentials. so maybe it's fixed. But i thought the more info the better.

[writhziden]

Crash points to sptd.sys, a known driver that causes blue screen crashes.

• Please remove any CD/DVD virtualization software, such as Daemon Tools/Alcohol 120%, as they use a driver called sptd.sys that is known to cause BSODs. Use add/remove programs to remove the software. After removing the software, use the sptd.sys uninstaller to remove sptd.sys from the system.
  
  I prefer TotalMounter as my CD/DVD virtualization software as it allows me to burn images to a virtual CD/DVD if I just want an ISO file instead of a disc, and it is free.
  
  Many use MagicISO - Convert BIN to ISO, Create, Edit, Burn, Extract ISO file, ISO/BIN converter/extractor/editor as well, which is also free.

After nine passes i've got errors on the memtestx86. See photo.

The windows extended memory test didn't gave anything wrong.

Should i go to my supplier, there's still waranty on my notebook.

[writhziden]

Yes, go to your supplier. That indicates you have faulty hardware, so you want to use your warranty. Back up any important data first.

Let us know after you get it back whether they were able to resolve the problem.

 

[Timmytubby]

We have reported it to the supplier. The problem is clear and the notebook is going back to the vendor. Monday it wil be delivered to the retailer , after that it will be going back to BSO. In about two weeks i've got more info.

Thank you all for your assistance, and hopefully the problem is solved when it comes back.

For now i've to wait. I will leave a message when the problem is solved.

 

[writhziden]

Thank you for keeping us updated. I look forward to your post in a couple weeks.

 

[Timmytubby]

Hello Guys,

the supplier has fixed the problem and swapped the memory. So like it seems to be the notebook is OK.

Thanks for the help!

 

[writhziden]

You're welcome! That is awesome news.
