Error code BSOD with corrupted PFN list detected.
System Spec: R5 3600X Asus 5700XT ROG Strix Corsair Vengeance RGB 3200mhz Gigabyte Aorus Elite X570 RM750X Corsair PSU Among the many games failing because of graphics drivers (5700XT, no big surprise there)... My friend's PC we built recently crashed while playing TC: Division 2 with a BSOD error PFN LIST CORRUPT. After searching online, we couldn't find a clear solution except running diskchk or memchk checks. Both tests were performed, but we can't say for sure if the problem is fixed yet. I don’t think you’re looking for a step-by-step fix, but I wonder if anyone else has faced this issue before and how they resolved it?
A recent crash happened yesterday: system thread exception not handled (stornvme). At first, I thought it might be a memory issue, since PFN List Corrupt codes can sometimes relate to that. The BIOS was updated to version F11, and with his XMP profile, the memory was running at 3209mhz at 1.2v—should be around 1.35v. After looking up more online, I saw others facing the same BSOD with a M.2 Kingston A2000 240GB NVMe drive. Some recommended sending it in for an RMA, others suggested checking for firmware updates via SSD Manager. I advised him to try the SSD Manager first, just in case we need to switch Windows to his 1TB SSD while the drive is repaired or replaced.
Verify the NVME SSD details and confirm its presence in the system's storage list.
We located the firmware updater on Kingston's site and, after installing it, experienced no BSODs during a roughly ten-hour gaming and testing session. We did encounter game crashes when using an XMP profile on the RAM. The automatic XMP setting appears to maintain the RAM at 3207MHz and 1.2 volts, so we plan to use the Ryzen RAM calculator for a controlled manual overclock attempt. With the RAM set to 2133, there were no crashes observed.
activate XMP protocol and configure DRAM voltage manually at 1.35V
I need to examine this further, as I wasn't informed that you could change the voltage manually on an automatic XMP setting.
