Hello and welcome to the forum.
Code:
BugCheck 4E, {99, 115842, 0, 134442}
Probably caused by : memory_corruption ( nt!MiBadShareCount+4c )
PFN_LIST_CORRUPT (4e)
[COLOR=#ff0000][U][B]Typically caused by drivers passing bad memory descriptor lists[/B][/U][/COLOR] (ie: calling
MmUnlockPages twice with the same list, etc).  If a kernel debugger is
available get the stack trace.
Arguments:
Arg1: 0000000000000099, A PTE or PFN is corrupt

Start by addressing an issue with this driver
RTCore64.sys 5/25/2005 (known issues with Windows 7) usually associated with RivaTuner but may also be EVGA Precision or MSI Afterburner and possibly a couple other software packages. Either update, or uninstall or as a last resort search for and rename RTCore64.sys to RTCore64.OLD (probably here C:\Windows\System32\Drivers but may also be elsewhere).
After resolving the driver issue above, if Blue Screens persist;
First make sure your machine is configured properly to facilitate the collection of .dmp files.
Go to Start and type in sysdm.cpl and press Enter
Click on the Advanced tab
Click on the Startup and Recovery Settings button
Ensure that Automatically restart is unchecked
Under the Write Debugging Information header select Small memory dump (256 kB) in the dropdown box
Ensure that the Small Dump Directory is listed as %systemroot%\Minidump << where your .dmp files can be found later
Click OK twice to exit the dialogs, then reboot for the changes to take effect.
Then:
Please read the first post in this sticky thread here How to ask for help with a BSOD problem
Do your best to accumulate the data required.
Run the SF Diagnostic tool (download and right click the executable and choose run as administrator)
Download and run CPUz. Use the Windows snipping tool to gather images from all tabs including all slots populated with memory under the SPD tab.
Likewise RAMMon. Export the html report, put everything into a desktop folder that you've created for this purpose, zip it up and attach it to your next post (right click it and choose send to, compressed (zipped) folder.
Additionally, if you haven’t already, please take some time and fill out your system specs in your forum profile area http://windows7forums.com/windows-7...you-filling-your-system-specs.html#post235529 .
Good luck

after i renamed rtcore64.sys (it s in the msi afterburner folder ) doesn t work anymore . will i have to make this compromise or is there another way to fix it? because i realy need msi afterburner ...

THANKS for your answer !
 
Not sure exactly, have you checked for a newer more recent version of that particular software? It may perhaps no longer include that particular driver or maybe has a more recent version of that driver that doesn't cause the problem.
The real question is..... have your BSODs stopped?

EDIT: http://event.msi.com/vga/afterburner/download.htm not sure if this is what you need or not??

EDIT AGAIN: Just downloaded and extracted the latest beta version 220Beta12.zip and the version of RTCore64.sys contained in that looks like it has a date of 2/1/2012. You might give that a try and see what happens. I can't say for sure personally because I don't use it.
Regards
Randy

well the version that i have it s not the beta and rtcore64.sys has a date of 27/05/2010...

no, after i renamed that file after 15 minutes i got a bsod..
 
The version that is listed in all your dump files is dated May 25th 2005. So you need to continue searching for it
C:\Windows\System32\Drivers
and
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Drivers
and anywhere else it may be and consider renaming all instances and replacing with the latest version.
And attach you latest dump files as they are created and go back to here http://windows7forums.com/blue-scre...ist_corrupt-memory_management.html#post252825 and follow up on adding the additional files as recommended.
 
Link Removed due to 404 ErrorSomething strange that i noticed: yesterday while the pc was turning off i got a bsod , and this is not the first time that happens when i m turning off i will post the bsod later

I know you have already said that you have tested your memory but you did not say how you went about it so.....
Download Memtest86+ from this location here. Burn the ISO to a CD and boot the computer from the CD from a cold boot after leaving it off for an hour or more.
Ideally let it run for at least 7 passes / 6-8 hours. If errors appear before that you can stop that particular test. Any time Memtest86+ reports errors, it can be either bad RAM or a bad Mobo slot. Perform the test RAM sticks individually as well as all possible combinations. When you find a good one then test it in all slots. Post back with the results.
See this Guide to using Memtest 86+
Additionally launch an elevated command prompt and type
chkdsk C: /R
hit enter
answer yes "Y" when prompted
Let it finish all five stages and see what that produces.
AND see if you can obtain a vendor specific proprietary hard disk testing utility from your drive manufacturer and use that to test your hard disk as well. A partial list here Link Removed - Invalid URL
Your current memory settings look good except for the command rate which is presently set at 1T and I would expect to see 2T. You can either use your System BIOS to set your timings manually or you can try enabling XMP (eXtreme Memory Profile) in your system's BIOS and see if the makes the requisite adjustments automatically.
Go here Link Removed - Invalid URL and download and install the latest driver for your Etron USB 3.0 Driver (version 105).

YEAH i forgot to say how i tested the rams. I already did 8 hours of memtest and as i said 0 errrors ... i ll try with only one stick individually.

my primary disk is an Intel SSD and it s OK. Could the problem be in the secondary HDD?
 
Are you using an external device (like a USB thumb drive) as a readyboost device?

Rapidly running out of ideas here.
Do me a favor and remove (uninstall) Kaspersky completely. Use the programs and features applet in the control panel and then follow that up with the vendor specific proprietary removal tool from here Removal tool for Kaspersky Lab products
Kaspersky is one of, if not my all time favorite AV / MW solution but it is possible that there is an issue with its' present state or condition that may be causing the issue. This is just temporary and you can either temporarily replace it withLink Removed due to 404 Error or re-install it after a complete cleanup of all remnants, but I would really like to see if Blue Screens continue without it on the machine. Up to you

Randy
 
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW NO MORE BSOD AFTER 3 DAYS! i didn t remove kaspersky, thanks for your advice and your time who helped me to solve this problem
 
Link Removed due to 404 Error

NOOOO i spoke too soon :((((( another BSOD today , i will unistal kaspersky too

Actually I kinda expected as much when you posted that your problem was magically cured without saying what you had done to resolve it.
So since your latest BSOD happened when playing BF3, I'll refer you back to a post I made earlier
Your current memory settings look good except for the command rate which is presently set at 1T and I would expect to see 2T. You can either use your System BIOS to set your timings manually or you can try enabling XMP (eXtreme Memory Profile) in your system's BIOS and see if the makes the requisite adjustments automatically.
See if that adjusts your memory's command rate to 2T and also you should probably consider disabling EIST (Enhanced Intel Speedstep Technology) and see if that helps resolve the issue.
