BSOD PFN_LIST_CORRUPT
I've got a Latitude D610 (WXP SP2) that's suffering from BSOD. Mostly IRQ less than errors or PFN_LIST_CORRUPT errors.
I'm pretty certain that the PFN error is due to a memoery problem and that the IRQ error is due to an IRQ conflict with the wireless card.
Are there any quick fixes or known issues for errors in there combinatons, or is this a typical needle in a haytstack situation?

I just spent a week tracking down the same problem on my C610. A clue that it was a hardware issue was the machine would occasionally boot after it was off for a while. It turned out one of my memroy cards (RAM) had gone bad after 5 years. Dell hardware test did not find the problem, but memtest86+, version 2.11 did. I popped out the memory card and the C610 booted up immediately. After another restart to clear out messages from the previous crashes, the C610 is now running perfectly. (Albeit much slower with less RAM.)
Go to http://icrontic.com/articles/diagnose_with_memtest86 for a tutorial on how to load & use and links to it.
In the process I also downloaded the updated Synaptics Touchpad driver (Vers A12, 7.9.3) from the Dell website. It cured my occasional wandering mouse problem.
Life is good again.
