One of the many unknown reasons of aWindows 10 PCcrash or BSoD is the pagefile.
By default, Windows 10 manages the pagefile automatically.
If a Pagefile is too small, it may cause the PC to crash frequently.

This article discusses how to determine the optimal Pagefile size on your Windows 10 and set it.
Pagefile serves as an extension to RAM.
It is also where the Operating System itself places files and logs in case a system crashes.
This is known as Crash Dump files.
If there is not sufficient space within the Pagefile, the system might throw a BSOD.
Each system can have a different size for the Pagefile.

For example, a PC with 2 GB RAM may have a Pagefile of 4 GB in size.

However, the upper limit is then restricted by the amount of storage on the hard drive.
Use the guide below to customize the Pagefile size.
