Hello,
My paging file size is at 0 MB, under the reccomended 16 MB. Here is a picture:

I have tried setting it to automaticaly set page file size, but it's still 0 MB, I have tried reseting my paging file, still 0 MB.

Whenever I manually set the virtual memory, it displays it's there, but then when I reboot, it's back to 0 MB. This is causing my computer to run low on memory and get the occasional "Your computer is low on memory. Close x program" when gaming and get Application Error popups that say:

The exception Illegal Instruction
An attempt was made to execute an illegal instruction
(0xc00001d) occurred in the application at location0x5392a560
Click on OK to terminate the program


I'm on a fresh install of Windows 8.1

Help?

There's a warning that having it under 1 MB will cause something related to the system, I don't know but a warning message pops up if I try to disable it, also i7Baby has a different opinion? What should I do?

Maybe it's just not displaying properly for some reason? MSI afterburner displays pagefile usage at around 7500 MB while gaming and 3000 MB when idle. I'll run Windows Update and update you (no pun intended)
