    How to fix windows paging file error


    About two weeks ago I had shut down my pc improperly by hitting the power button. When I booted up my pc I got this error message indicated in the link below. Since then my pc has been displaying warning messages that I am about to be out of ram please note I was able to have the same amount of programs open with no issues before getting this error. Programs randomly close here and there. I have attempted using a restore point, restoring my pc to an earlier point before the error happened that was only a temporary fix.

    Hello bigboi,

    See if setting your page file to be managed by the system instead of using a custom size may help. :)

    Paging file - change size


    Just set the page file for your windows partition to system managed size. Then reboot.

    Start > Run

    type sysdm.cpl

    press Enter

    Advanced tab > Advanced

    Virtual Memory > Change

    Windows Partition (usually C:)

    set to system managed size

    OK

    Reboot.

Hello the Forum, I have not found, but would guess there is a registry method for turning off Windows 7 use of the paging file for system files. I have 24G ram, but win 7 immediately offloads to the paging file before I even run any applications. Not trying to stop Win 7 from paging programs and...

Paging File

When I go to boot up the computer sometimes it states that my computer has made a temp paging file. Doesn't tell me where, it side it did. I have a RAM Disk installed which I've told the paging file to go to, to include my temp files. I've done this because I have an SSD.
