Hello All

I think I have a virtual memory issue--but i'm not positive on it

Tried setting it once already to Custom size, and Minimum and Max the same, Games crashed alot more with that, so set it back to system managed, only had 1 crash in Battlefield 2042 late last night after that.

My boot M.2 is Samsung 990 Evo Plus HMB Drive 1TB
My Game M.2 is Samsung 990 Pro 1TB
Samsung 860 Evo 1TB is Storage drive

Honestly i shouldn't even be using Virtual Memory that much.

If i need to upgrade RAM, then will take any recommendations for whatever would be the best RGB Ram for my MSI B650 VC Wifi Rev 1.0 Motherboard
Currently have Teamgroup DDR 5 5600mhz 2x16 Sticks, totaling 32GB

Your OS is set to automatically manage the virtual ram for your platform, you're good as is.

You're wasting your resources focusing on Virtual Memory.

When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

I noticed you have specs listed in your sig space. Sig space specs can and will change over time, when that happens, this thread and it's corresponding suggestions and advices will be rendered moot to the end user in the same boat as you're in now. So if you will, please include them in your thread's body.

Currently have Teamgroup DDR 5 5600mhz 2x16 Sticks, totaling 32GB
Got a link to the ram kit used?

Games crashed
Please elaborate what you're meaning to convey with the term crash. Game exits to desktop GUI? System reboots when gaming? BSoD's? Include a list of all titles taxed on your system.

Might want to pass on a screenshot of what you see on Disk Management.
 
Well when it crashed--it was a total sysem lock up--no system response at all, had to press reset button on the case to get back into Windows and reload into game, then it ran fine
