Pagefile constantly going crazy - please help
My pagefile is always busy when I try doing things. Sometimes it's going for minutes at a time, bringing my system to a crawl. When my hard drive starts going nuts, I always check my resource monitor from task manager, and it's always the pagefile that's accessing the hard drive.
What should my pagefile settings be? I'm running Windows 7 32bit with three 1Gb rams sticks and a 1Gb video card. Currently, it's set to Custom Size - 4608, maximum size - 6144. Are my settings off? Should I set it to "system managed size"?
The pagefile is on the same drive as my main OS. I was thinking about putting it on a memory stick but I understand that would kill off the stick quickly and I'm afraid of corruption also.
