ram or motherboard?

a couple weeks ago i fried my ram, dont ask me how. i had 1 stick of 256 ddr, i recently bought new ram but now my computer restarts very frequently on its own. I disabled auto restart to see what the error was. it said "PFN_LIST_CORRUPT".. i did a goole search for that and people were saying that that was due to bad ram... now im just wondering whether theres a problem with the ram or even tho i didnt put this ram in the same slot as the fried one from before, there could be a problem with all the ramslots due to the fried ram....

Looks like you have a 50/50 chance on both, If your board has a diagnostics tool you can download of the internet, try it, if not, take back your RAM to where you purchased it, and ask for a different stick or brand (if you need to..say it might be faulty...hehehe), that should isolate the problem for ya.
