That error code may indicate a page file corruption error, could be caused by your memory, or a bad driver. You could also try recreating your page file to see if it may help.

That can be done just be removing the page file, restarting, and then turning back on. Maybe also post your minidump file here, if it's not against the rules?

Stop error 0x4E; PFN_LIST_CORRUPT, indicates that there was corruption with the page frame number list (PFN) or a page table entry (PTE). These are two important lists in the Windows memory manager that help keep track of pages in a process' virtual address space that are placed on disk.

Mike Burr's excellent article; Troubleshooting 0x4E PFN_LIST_CORRUPT, provides detailed steps and tools to diagnose and repair the problem.
