Ash Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 pfft. I mentioned the regular crashes a while ago but couldn't tell you lot anything, now I changed to bluescreen reports instead of reboot and it says PFN_LIST_CORRUPT. From the sounds of it, it's either a program writing to RAM incorrectly and messing everything up, or my RAM itself isn't working right.Anyone know anything I can do short of buying some new RAM?

Ash Posted December 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Does this apply?http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=291806&sd=RMVPThere are a number of Gooooooogle references to this error message.I'm on XP, and I've had a look at some Google results but none seem to offer anything other than check ram/bad drivers. I'll take the 2 sticks out independantly and see if that helps.It just crashed again, this time mentioning win32k.sys.Far too unstable to use since I'm doing coursework - switching to bvw's computer! :dry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nellie2 Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 Hello Ash, I think you might be right about the RAM problem. I did a bit of googling last night and the main thing I came up with was faulty RAM :sad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bvw Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 11pm and no crashing at all this evening, since removing the 2 "new" sticks of RAM (I say new but they've been in for a few months now). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted December 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 Left it on overnight transferring a file over msn, got up this morning & played some CS, still working on it now :) Cheers guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
