What is the recommended pagefile size that I can set?

I've recently been having some a main issue with memory; I keep getting a windows error when I play (ONLY ON) Battlefield 4
_____________________________________________________________________________

Error:

Close programs to prevent information loss

You computer is low on memory, save your files and close these programs:

Battlefield 4TM

So I've looked online relating to this error and I've found a guide from windows on what can cause and how to solve this.

one was which to upgrade the RAM (which I'm still thinking on)

and the other to Change the size of virtual memory (which I need help with)

Here are my system specs:

GPU: NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 650M - 1.0GB DDR5 Video RAM - DirectX® 11
CPU: Intel® Core™i7 Quad Core Mobile Processor i7-3610QM (2.30GHz) 6MB
RAM: 4GB KINGSTON HYPER-X GENESIS 1600MHz SODIMM DDR3 (2 x 2GB)
OS: Windows 8.1 Pro (64bit)

Virtual Memory Window: http://i.imgur.com/38mQ7X2.png

Any experts could help me with this issue I'm having, it would be great to get some replies

1) Free up disk space on the drive(s) containing your pagefile.
2) Set your page-file to OS Controlled unless you have more than one hard drive.
3) Add more RAM.

1. I have 613GB space free on my C Drive (my only drive
2. How do I do that? (I'm a newbie at this)
3. This will be my last resort

I want to know what size I should change my virtual memory to (initial size and maximum size) to prevent these this error from popping up every time I play Battlefield 4

You don't need to if it's set to System Managed.

Try setting 8GB as minimum and 64GB as maximum.

You may also want to Google for a tool called PageDefrag or try IObit SmartDefrag, perhaps the pagefile isn't contiguous enough to expand dynamically as quickly as BF4 expects it to.

Try running the game at a less extreme detail level.

So initial size as 8000(MB) and maximum size 64000(MB)?

I've done a defrag (fully optimized) on the IObit SmartDefrag

Yeah, well 8192 and 65536, but it doesn't make much difference.
Do you still have the same problem?

shaks109 · Nov 1, 2013

I'm about to check now, just gonna change the size, restart and play a round of Battlefield, then I'll come back and reply whether it solved the issue or not

shaks109 · Nov 1, 2013

Hmm... It seems to be working now without any errors for now. gonna try 2-3 more to confirm
