Hi,

I've bought 2 weeks ago a new PC and since then i'm having random BSOD's. (It started with every 2 hours one and now 1 a day or so.) I've tried many things (Bios updates/resets, memtest) but still I'm having a BSOD. As the title says: The Memory Management BSOD. And searched the web to find a sollution but i couldn't find something that worked for me. So I decided to start a topic myself.

EDIT: A new BSOD showed up: PFN_LIST_CORRUPT. This one started when I tried to install an Adobe Pack.
The dumpfile of that one is Minidump2.

Can someone please help me with this?

Specs:
Motherboard: Intel(R) Desktop Board DP67BGB3
Memory: Corsair 8 GB DDR3-1333 Quad-Kit
Videocard: Sapphire Radeon HD6850
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz 2.40GHz
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate (obviously)

It seems like you're encountering Memory Management and PFN_LIST_CORRUPT BSOD errors on your new PC. These types of errors are often related to memory issues, drivers, or corrupted system files. Let's troubleshoot these BSOD errors one by one:

BSOD Error 1: Memory Management​

The "Memory Management" BSOD error typically suggests issues with RAM, drivers, or memory-intensive applications. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot this error:
  1. Check RAM: Since you've already run a memtest, the RAM might not be the issue, but it's still good to recheck it. You can try reseating the RAM sticks or using each stick individually to see if one of them is causing the issue.
  2. Update Drivers: Ensure all your...

  1. Check RAM: Since you've already run a memtest, the RAM might not be the issue, but it's still good to recheck it. You can try reseating the RAM sticks or using each stick individually to see if one of them is causing the issue.
  2. Update Drivers: Ensure all your drivers, especially those related to the motherboard and memory, are up to date. You can use Device Manager to check for driver updates.
  3. Check for System File Corruption: Run a system file checker scan to check for and repair any corrupted system files. Open Command Prompt as Administrator and type sfc /scannow.
  4. Hardware Malfunction: It's possible that there's a hardware issue causing these BSOD errors. If all else fails, consider checking hardware components like the motherboard, CPU, or power supply unit.

    BSOD Error 2: PFN_LIST_CORRUPT​

    The "PFN_LIST_CORRUPT" error usually indicates issues with the Page Frame Number (PFN) list, which manages physical memory in Windows. Here's how you can address this:
  5. Check Newly Installed Software: Since this BSOD occurred after trying to install an Adobe Pack, it's possible that the software installation caused conflicts. Consider uninstalling the Adobe Pack and see if the error persists.
  6. Review Recent Changes: Any recent changes, installations, or updates might have triggered this error. Reverting these changes can help isolate the issue.
  7. Update Windows: Ensure that your Windows OS is up to date. Sometimes, updates include patches for known issues that could be causing the BSOD.

    Additional Suggestions:​

    • Check System Logs: Review the Event Viewer for more detailed error logs that might provide additional clues.
    • Reset BIOS: If you haven't already, try resetting the BIOS settings to default.
    • Run a CHKDSK: Run a disk check using the CHKDSK utility to scan and fix disk-related issues.
    Feel free to attempt these steps and let me know if you encounter any further issues or if these actions resolve the problems.
