New computer build and my first problem was a bad 8gb ddr3 Memory Module. Found Memtest86 online and was able to test all 4 sticks, one was bad and replaced. Ran test for 8+ hours for each stick. Once I fixed that problem I was able to load Win 7 Pro but had problems getting updates to work. Finally fixed updates. Download Office 2010 and install my Canon MX 870 software.
In making some changes to how a page should print I got my first BSOD "Memory Management 1A". Couldn't make sense of why this happened. Next BSOD was " PFN_LIST_CORRUPT 4E" . Checked online for solutions and it was suggested to check the memory which I had already done and fixed and to check each slot on the MB. I ran the memory test in each slot for 8+ hours and no errors on the MB.
I have the Mini Dump files If someone can read them. I will pull other files as needed.
New Build Parts:
MB Gigabyte GA-H97M-d3h
CPU Intel i5-4590, 3.3 GHZ
Memory Crucial 32GB DDR3
HD WD10EZEX 1TB
PS Antec BP550 Plus
Currently running Graphics from MB

Not sure of my next step or steps to hopefully fix my problem.

Thanks

More information: I have downloaded Blue Screen Viewer and can send this if it would help.

PFN is a list that maps your data in memory to your virtual memory (pagefile.sys) The list became corrupt for some reason.
I would put the sata drive data cable on a different sata port. the primary port that is directly supported by the CPU chipset is more likely to work.
(it is slower, but the drivers get updated by windows update)

You might also, delete your pagefile.sys (turn off virtual memory, delete the hidden c:\pagefile.sys and turn on virutal memory to create a new one.
(just in the case where your pagefile.sys is corrupted or on a bad spot on your drive)

Make sure your BIOS is updated, The bios does the setup for the SATA and USB drivers. The BIOS might need to be updated when you update the SATA or USB motherboard...

There can be other causes of this corruption, certain drivers that corrupt memory.

people assume it is your physical memory that has problems with this errror but it can be your virtual memory subsystem, the memory manager still provides the bugcheck various subsystems related to memory.

for windows 7, often old USB motherboard drivers that are used to charge apple devices can cause memory corruption.
(just in the case you installed one with a name like applecharger.sys)
