BSOD
Last response: in Systems
Hi,
I built a system a month ago and all of a sudden am getting BSOD with a message that reads PFN_LIST_CORRUPT for a second before prompting to start windows in safe mode.
It seems to work fine in safe mode but every time I go into normal mode, after a minute or two, I get the same BSOD. I only have a DVD drive, so how can I run a Memtest?
Thanks

Best solution
To run a memtest, download memtest86+, burn it to a CD, and it should boot up and run.
However, a newly occurring BSOD might be the result of a bad driver (especially if it doesn't manifest under Safe Mode). Did you install any new/updated drivers recently? Is there a restore point you could restore to prior to that? Otherwise, you might need to back-up data and re-install windows, then careful upgrade your drivers (creating restore points) to determine which one caused the issue, then avoid it.
edit: by saying "only a DVD drive", are you saying you can not burn disks? Do you have any friends that can? Can you burn a disk at school or a library or Kinkos or something? You can probably also create a bootable USB drive with memtest on it, Google should be your friend there.
