Solved Windows 8.1 crash (PFN_LIST_CORRUPT)

[Ved]

Today this morning, I am getting recurrent crashes on my Windows 8.1-64 Bit.

1. I Booted into safe mode and ran whocrashedsetup.exe http://www.resplendence.com/whocrashed and it gave me following information which i have attached here as "crash dump (1)" and "crash dump (2)" Image files.There have been more than 10 instances of crash but i have attached only two images (Other crash details are same as these two)
2. I have also attached a screenshot of services that load at start up (Please see services.PNG). This screenshot i captured in safe mode. (so all services are shown as stopped, but under normal boot all are enabled).
   
3. Also i ran Driver Verifier, but no information regarding any faulty driver (no unsigned driver was found by Windows)
4. Then tried System Restore (created two days ago). Though the Windows said "System restore not successful" but on restart, Windows notified me that "System Restore Successful.Your system was ...". Quite strange. . But it's been more than half hour, and no crash yet..I will post back on this.
   
5. I think the culprit is Kaspersky Inetrnet security-2014. but i am not sure (i think uninstalling it might solve the problem).
6. Have not run Memtest. (I will do it overnight and report back)

That's a lot to read. Please be patient to read it.

should i uninstall KIS if i get another crash?

Any help regarding this?

OK, system restore worked and No crash so far, but following changes occurred : (and I have not uninstalled KIS yet.)

1. Normal start up changed to selective start up, and if i choose Normal Start up then Windows automatically make it selective on next boot.
2. File Explorer keeps on loading and finally does not show up. (green bar keeps running on address bar)
3. icons, shortcuts, file extensions do not show properly. (blank white)

Ok I uninstalled KIS, still above mentioned three problems persists.So i guess KIS was not the problem.

I am thinking about a fresh reinstall or running a memtest (never used memtest before and people say that it took a lot of time to complete memtest)..so i think it a fresh reinstall would be a apt choice for me.

fresh install is always the best ^^

You are right @Umbra Polaris : and i am Doing it right now.

@Umbra Polaris : can you tell me how much time a memtest would take on my system (single 4 GB RAM)

most probably old driver is the problem. Install new device driver.
i am using kaspersky trial . there is no crash occurring here.

@viktik : yeah, that's what i thought too. Kaspersky don't seems to be the problem.

the best way to resolved this without going thru restore and the rest is to boot the system in safe mode and in the admin command prompt type verifier/reset

It will resolve the blue screen
