Hi all. Just wanted to ask if anyone has seen this before. I do have Samsung SSD magician installed as well, but I don't have any settings enabled for the software to automatically change my size. I have a 256GB 850 Pro for my C: and a 512 for D:. I install my games on D: Drive. Yesterday, I installed another game, about 11.5GB on D. Other than that, yesterday, my Pagefile was the default of 16GB, matching my memory capacity. Today, I noticed it switched itself to about 2.5GB as I monitor things quite a bit as I've tightened the timings of my memory. Recently during this as part of my OC, I had strange behavior/OS corruption that was taking place over a week or so. I reset the timings back to stock, System Restored to a month prior, and all the "odd" behavior disappeared. I decided to give it another go, same timings, but more voltage. Been running this way for 3 weeks or so, though really only using my PC about 3 days a week. No signs of odd stuff or corruption as before. Just ran an sfc /scannow which came back clean. Nothing odd in Event Viewer Windows Logs, which was happening before(services stopped working, ect.) Windows use/Gaming behavior has been fine. I'm just trying to see if Virtual Memory can change itself higher/lower on its own, as it's set to let Windows manage it's size, or is corruption starting to set in again...
Any ideas? Has this happened to anyone else before?
EDIT/
Doing some more digging. It seems possible at least that Windows can adjust lower. I do have my pagefile set to "system managed size". I found a few places that say Windows can adjust up/down. It's just that I've never noticed this before, then again it's not something you typically look for.
