How to Troubleshoot a "STOP 0x0000004E PFN_LIST_CORRUPT" Error Message
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=291806
One of the possibilities is bad or failing ram. If you want to check the
memory, there are free programs here:

http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag.asp
But keep in kind that a thorough test can only be done with test equipment
at a computer shop. Software tests are not perfect in diagnosing these
issues. At the price of memory today, you may find that the test costs more
than a replacement stick.
