as soon a i started the computer and logged on, it went immediately to that PFN_LIST_CORRUPT then the computer restarted but it was weird since its been a while since the last bsod probably about 2 months since the last one. once the computer restarted i was able to log in and its hasn't bsod so far

Hello, my name is Jared and I'll try to solve your BSOD problems.

Code:

PFN_LIST_CORRUPT (4e)
Typically caused by drivers passing bad memory descriptor lists (ie: calling
MmUnlockPages twice with the same list, etc).  If a kernel debugger is
available get the stack trace.
Arguments:
Arg1: 000000000000009a, 
Arg2: 000000000035f31b
Arg3: 0000000000000006
Arg4: 0000000000000002

Here we have our 0x4E bugcheck, the first parameter is 0x9a meaning a driver tried to free pages which were locked for an I/O.

Here we can see some user mode functions with the Kernel Nvidia driver trying to free pages, it then tries to add pages to a singly linked list when we discover a bad page frame number list followed by the bugcheck.
I'm not sure why it tries to insert a nonpaged memory pool into a singly linked list...
It is a Memory Management Internal routine so that is why it isn't documented and hence the reason I can't find much about it.

Our Nvidia driver is up to date, you could try a new beta driver or rolling back to an older driver.

Code:
