Hello everyone,
I am currently encounter a BSOD for quite some time and have been trying to fix it.
First of all this error occurs at random intervals of time even without doing anything on my PC.I used bluescreenview to identify the problem which seems to be caused by the driver ntoskrnl.exe as it states here:011616-47750-01.dmp 1/16/2016 11:48:19 PM PFN_LIST_CORRUPT 0x0000004e 00000000`00000002 00000000`0009bc04 00000000`0013f7ff 00000000`00000001 ntoskrnl.exe ntoskrnl.exe+14e2a0 NT Kernel & System Microsoft® Windows® Operating System Microsoft Corporation 6.3.9600.18185 (winblue_ltsb.151230-0600) x64 ntoskrnl.exe+14e2a0 D:\WINDOWS\Minidump\011616-47750-01.dmp 2 15 9600 280,816 1/16/2016 11:49:44 PM


I will also leave here some of my PC specs if that helps
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 5670
CPU :Intel Pentium G620 2.60 GHz
RAM: 4 GB

Recently i ran some memory testes and it passed every time,by the way the testes included memtes86 and the memory diagnostic which the windows has.
All my drivers are up to date, my hard drive seems totally fine, i don't have two antivirus programs installed i also ran sfc scan in command prompt but so far haven't done anything about my wireless keyboard which i have been using for a long time.

Another important thing would be that I tried driver verifier and after the restart I got a BSOD which stated that the verifier detected a violation. I have also tried underclocking my GPU thinking that my PSU wasn't providing enough power to it. I have also tried stress testing my components and i got no bad results so I don't really know what to do. If you can help in any way please do.

P.S: Sorry for such a long post.

Try testing the memory by removing a stick at a time to see if it's a memory issue. That is a pretty serious but uncommon error (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff559014%28v=vs.85%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396), and it's pretty much as broad as it gets. Some say that bad AV software is at fault, so try reinstalling the AV software you have (if you have anything other than the built in defender.
have you tried to verify that the system files are fine? both with:
sfc /scannow
and
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

You need to run them in command prompt with admininstrator permissions, easiest way for it is to press windows+x and select said option or.. find the command prompt shortcut and right click "run as administrator" option

it might need a reboot or two in between but it should fix corrupt system files, including ntoskrnl.exe
