Hi,

 

as you can seef rom the attachment, my pagefile usage reaches 17GB although windows settings is set auto to 5.5GB!, what is the reason? and is it fine to disable the page file and have my ram handle everything? i have 16GB of ram 8x2 2666mhz CL 12-14-14-34

 

i have 2 ssd for win and games and 1 HDD for misc.

 

i have some gaming sttuter on a fresh copy of windows with all drivers are upto date.

If you're using 8+17GB how do you think that that will fit in 16GB of ram...........

Do not disable page file.

Can you post pic of the overlay softwares graphs and Windows task manager graphs at the same time? I've noticed previously that MSI Afterburner reads RAM, VRAM and pagefile usage bit oddly. Windows will not use more pagefile than what you've set. Maybe show screenshot of that menu too.
