Pagefile help
Hi guys.
Today I did something that I am now regretting.
I switched my pagefile to a second hard drive. I left 1 GB on the C: drive and set the D: drive to automatic values.
I did this to try and solve a memory issue with Fallout 3. However, my computer has now been reduced to a slow crawl. I left it to run a little while thinking it would pick up once the new pagefiles were adjusted, but it's still as slow as hell.
I've now switched back to the original setting of Windows managing the pagefile.
The computer is still running at an absolute crawl after I rebooted and the CPU light on the PC is fixed permanently on. As if working in overdrive (which I imagine is to be expected now)
My question is. Is it going to correct itself and return to it's normal lightening speed that it was? If so, how long will it take?
These are my specs:
Motherboard: ASUS M4N82 Deluxe
CPU: AMD Phenom II X3 720 2.80 GHz
Memory: x2 2GB DDR3
Graphics Card: Nvidia GEforce GTX 260 (Gainward)
Sound: Creative Labs SoundBlaster X-Fi Fatal1ty Xtreme Gamer
OS: Windows 7 Professional 32-bit
If it's NOT going to eventually pick up again to it's normal speed? Is there any solution other than a completely fresh install of Windows 7?
Please help.
Many thanks.
