Random BSoD (MEMORY_MANAGEMENT,PFN_LIST_CORRUPT...)

[hlmasterchief93]

Random BSoD (0x0000001a, 0x00000109, 0x0000004e, 0x0000003b)

I've just install Wins 7 on my T400 about 2 week ago (it came with Wins Vista OEM)
I've been having many BSOD at random, even idle so I can't figure out what's wrong.
I've use WinDBG but no help

Spec
- Lenovo T400
- Wins 7 Pro x64 (Retail)

Thank you

The common error codes are
0x0000001a, 0x00000109, 0x0000004e, 0x0000003b

When i use WinDBG, almost of the errors probably cause by memory corruption

After last bsod (in the 1st post), i turned on driver verifier and until now, no more bsod ?
i realy dont have any clue to figure what is the problem :-?

 

[hlmasterchief93]

today, with driver verifier, i have 8 more bsod

Please upload the latest crash reports. Also, make sure you check memory and enable Verifier properly.

• 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 211730
  • 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.
  
  Thanks to zigzag3143 for contributing to the Verifier steps.
  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.

definitely run the memory test first as writh stated. In my experience, multiple different BSODs are usually hardware related. Also disconnect all external 3rd party equipment you may be using such as usb, esata, fireware, PC cards, etc.

i've also run Memtest86+ (come with Ubuntu installer) and came up with no errors (2 passes)
Before i installed Wins7, my laptop run wins vista very stable so i dont think there is anyproblem with the hardware

I've uploaded all the dmp in the 1st post
I'll try renable Driver Verifier tomorow

 

[event3horizon]

run in safe mode then.. you'll know if it's a driver

This actually is not a fool proof method for determining whether it is a driver. Safe Mode does not load as many drivers, true, but it also does not stress the hardware in the same way that normal mode does.

As for only running Memtest86+ for 2 passes, I have seen it take up to 21 passes for errors to be found, and we generally recommend at least 7. Obviously, the more, the better.

But then nothing ever is fool proof. It doesn't hurt to try. Just a reboot away.

Thank you, I've never had bsod on SafeMode. I've used it a bit when I want to use computer but dont want to get bsod (burn disks ...) and when i got 2 bsod in a row.
Right now I'm in safemode after 2 bsod >.<
I'll attach it in 1st post

All crashes, Verifier enabled and regular crashes, indicate one of three things. You either have a bad piece of hardware (likely a memory module), a corrupted Windows install, or a virus. Please re-run Memtest86+ for at least seven passes. I would prefer ten or more.

Also, check for Windows corruption and viruses.

• Check Windows for corruption. Run http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1538-sfc-scannow-command-system-file-checker.html up to three times to fix all errors with a restart in between each. Post back if it continues to show errors after a fourth run or if the first run comes back with no integrity violations. Use OPTION THREE of http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1538-sfc-scannow-command-system-file-checker.html to provide us with the sfcdetails.txt file if errors occur.
  
  
• Download and install Malwarebytes, update it, do not start the free trial, and then run a full scan. Also run a full scan with your antivirus software installed on your system. If you do not have antivirus software installed, see the http://www.sevenforums.com/system-s...-system-security-combination.html#post1732627 for better security steps and scanning tools. Make sure to update the security software before running the full scan with it.

1. sfc scannow return no error
2. I used eset smart security before moved to mse to check if it is the problem. And it's seem virus is not the problem.

I'll run Memtest86+ over this night, thank you

Did you run a scan with Malwarebytes? Malwarebytes uses different methodology than antivirus software does to scan for files, so it often catches malware that is missed by antivirus software.
