PFN_LIST_CORRUPTION

I am getting this problem on an XP Home edition of Windows. I have checked on Microsoft and can only find an article for Windows 2000.

The computer has been built for a while and has only recently started, and is giving the 0x4E stop error (I really hate this error!!) It is only occuring infrequently (say once a month) and I'm fairly sure it's not hardware related.

 If any help could be given as to the cause I would be very grateful.

I had this error myself about 2 yrs ago. In my case it was down to a bad memory stick. I replaced it and had no porblems afterwards.

Cool thanks for your help - apparently it's had a DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error today so I'm hoping it's just a driver issue!

I'll check the memory as well and let you know how it goes.

Thanks for all your help.
had very same error on XP pro with a laptop, turned out to be faulty RAM, if you get this error, first port of call is run some kind of RAM diags to at least eliminate that, then if not go down checking the disk/recreating the pagefile.
