Do those pages really exist? If not change your 404 to redirect to you home page.

Set up a Google Webmaster Account and in that it will tell you under crawl errors



In the crawl errors it will tell you where the link came from



And from that click on the pages. This will tell you exactly where the problem occurs.


or

And then you can work from that and fix it.

Another place to check is the Sitemap area and it will show you warnings if they exist where links to pages maybe present that do not exist.



The Google webmaster tools area is a great resource. When Google is helping you and your site you should take the help.

Make sure you check out the HTML suggestions are too.

Not true and not a good way of doing it. It's far better to have custom 404 error pages and it still doesn't fix the problem of your site having broken links going nowhere.
