Paging File Problems

[miniman_obrien]

Hi guys,

I have 8GB of Ram, as well as ample disk space on my hard drive (well one of them at least), however windows keeps coming up with prompts to change my paging file space.

I have 1TB free on my second hard drive, but only 7GB on my SSD which has my Windows 7 files loaded on to it. How can I sort this problem?

It keeps causing crashes to desktop while I play games such as GTAV - SO ANNOYING!

1. Reduce your pagefile size.
I have 16GB RAM, and a pagefile of 1GB min and max, with zero ill effects.

2. Get rid of your hibernation file
See this: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/819-hibernate-enable-disable.html
This will free up several GB

3. Check your System Restore settings. Tis may take up significant space
Find your System Restore settings, and see what that is set to.
Control Panel
System
System Protection
System Protection
Click on the relevant drive, and select Configure

It will show you current usage and Max use %

4. Move other stuff off the SSD.
