STOP 0x0000004E PFN_LIST_CORRUPT

This is another problem that I encounter when I install
any software package. Every time the computer restarts or
even when I select Restart from the shut down menu. I
receive the following error message with a blue screen:
STOP 0x0000004E PFN_LIST_CORRUPT. My computer has an AMD
Athlon 1800 processor and this is one that I built from
scratch. I'm not sure how to get rid of this problem.
I've tried several things that do not seem to work.
Perhaps someone could help me resolve this issue. Thanks.
