PFN_List_Corrupt memory error

[CapMac]

Installed new memory using wrist strap. Runs ok until get error 'PFN_List_Corrupt', reboot or 'check new hardware or software... disable BIOS memory options'(no caching or shadowing used) and 'Technical info STOP Ox0000004E,(Ox0000008F, Ox0001908, Ox00000000), beginning dump of memory. Memory dump complete'. Memory checked using software memory checker and aok.
Using XP Pro and want to try Windows 7 beta. System runs fine using old memory. If no one has run across a PFN List error, I could attach the fault log. Thanks in advance.

Check your PageFile on Drive C:, it should at least be around 2MB or greater...

check your HDD as well, read somewhere where a dying HDD was the cause of that error...

PLZ paste the minidump, so that we are able to discern the culprit...

additional info may be helpful, e.g. post mainboard, ram type and manufacturer, etc... all that would be helpful...

May be a good idea to test the new memory:

Thanks BigBadBen and Freestone,

I'm can't find the minidump. Don't find anything in Event Viewer that refers to my error. Reading seems to indicate a driver issue so I'll install the new ram and a) try it with 7's beta and b) see if I get the error again using XP & check Event Viewer (I'm using removable trays for multiple OS's). My page file is set to 720 MB. For what it's worth, this is a 1.3 Duron on a Matsonic MS8157E, with a Western
Digital 20 GB WDC WD200EB-00BHF0 (FAT32), the ram giving problems is Corsair DDR 400 (PC 3200) 1 GB stick ( I know, blew a power supply w/took the mobo but this'll tide me over).

And Freestone - I used memtest.

Thanks again.
