Blue screen and hardware issues

[brian123]

Hey there,

I was getting the blue with the following messages.

PFN_LIST_CORRUPT 0x0000004e, 0x0000008f, 0x0004af95, 0x0004bf95, 0x00000000

BAD_POOL_CALLER 0x000000c2, 0x00000050, 0xe259d000, 0x0000159d, 0x16400000

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL 0x0000000A, 0x000000004, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x804efb93

and am now getting message at startup saying "windows cold not start ...... " WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM

Was hoping somebody here could point me in the right direction either by helping or by posting some links of where I can figure out how to fix this and get back up and running.

Dell Inspiron 8600
XP Home
Pentium M 1.5 gHz
Memory 2 GB @333 MHz

Thanks so much for any advice and or help.

Yeah, was gonna ask the exact same question - beat me to it!

0x000000C2: BAD_POOL_CALLER -
A kernel-mode process or driver incorrectly attempted to perform memory operations. Typically, a faulty driver or buggy software causes this.

0x0000004E: PFN_LIST_CORRUPT -
This indicates that the memory management Page File Number list is corrupted. Can be caused by corrupt physical RAM, or by drivers passing bad memory descriptor lists.

0x000000D1: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL -
The system attempted to access pageable memory using a kernel process IRQL that was too high. The most typical cause is a bad device driver (one that uses improper addresses). It can also be caused by caused by faulty or mismatched RAM, or a damaged pagefile.
