  1. Page file causing a bootloop?


    I've been trying to make sense of why my machine started acting up and getting constant BSODs after shutting down or restarting from desktop.

    The error in question is "PAGE FAULT IN NON-PAGED AREA." Checked online, and the only thing that seems to work consistently is disabling the page file completely from advanced options. Must've checked my RAM (16gb) and drivers a dozen times by now, all are good. I can get into safe mode just fine.

    I do know that Windows was designed to work with a page file intact for memory purposes though, so I'd like to keep it on as much as possible. But is there any way for me to get past this BSOD error without disabling the page file? Please help!

    Page File

    Set minimum and maximum to a constant number as suggested by others, that will help reduce fragmentation on the drive coz of different page file sizing.

    I would never turn off your page file. Ever. EVER! I put my page file on a separate partition in the middle of the HD, so it is about 2% faster! If you have to mess with your page file, do what I did.

    Page file causing a bootloop?

    Paging File

    No. Wrong. Always "lock" it at a specific value. Using the pagefile like that will cause it to constantly expand and contract, that alone will hinder performnce. Additionally the pagefile will get fragmented if you do that. I'd suggest 512/512 like some of the others who posted in here (and now me)
