Sometimes when i decide to go onto my computer i walk up to it and this is on the screen:

A Problem was dectected and Windows has been shut down to prevent Damage to your computer

PFN_LIST_CORRUPT

If this is the first time you have seen this Stop Error Screen, restart your computer If this screen appears again follow these steps

Check to make sure new hardware or software is properly installed. If this is a new installation Ask your hardware or software manufacturer for any windows updates you may need.

If problems continue, Disable or remove any newly installed software or hardware. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing If you need to use safemode to remove or disable computents restart your comp.... Then it goes on and tell you how to get into safe mode...
Then this is next.

Beginning Dump Of Phyiscal Memory

That is what is on my blue screen... This has happened more than 5 times... and it just started happening out of the blue could it be that my RAM is failing too? or do i have to try to get rid of some software that has been installed... Or should i try the BIOS thing.

I ran that test and my computer restarted during it does this mean anything?

If you have more than one stick of memory - pull one and see what happens - then pull the other - sure sounds like memory
