Abnormal page file usage...

[kleeman7]

My page is huge, and it seems reducing it makes some programs crash. Not sure why my system is using this much, it has almost 30gb reserved and the task manager memory page shows Committed at 10.5/45.9. No one else seems to have the issue online that I have seen. The drives in my system are a 1TB SX8200 Pro(houses the page file), and a 1TB 660p. Anyone else have this issue or have and suggestions to fix it?

Try download RAMmap https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/rammap
Then go to File Details/File Summary tab and check which files use the most.

It doesn't seem like anything is using the pagefile really, Ill upload them maybe someone else will be able to read them better. But I didnt see anything out of the ordinary.

You could just set it to manual and limit max to 10gb for example. Or even less. Software mostly tap into pagefile when they are loading resources, and thats designed way of operation, not because your RAM would be running out. For that reason you need to have some pagefile and turning it completely will cause issues.

Thanks everyone. I ended up setting it to 8gb locked size, its still not using it according to the paged pool, and it does not seem to have effected anything. 

 

I have locked the size before but I think I was too restrictive, and would have some apps crash due to not having enough memory, even tho I have 16gb and it was only using about 8gb of that. I had limited it to 2gb before.
