Reviewing the mini-dump file and logs will illuminate the root cause is most cases. It could be a faulty driver or resource conflict. It could also be hardware related such as bad RAM or incorrect memory timings; an uncorrectable error from a bit flip will cause a kernel panic which is what a BSOD is. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. The available physical memory alone might be large enough to do this.
Can you not put a pagefile on a secondary non-windows drive as a second pagefile; from what I understand windows forces you to have at least a small one on your primary windows installation drive? The virtual memory manager lets you set one up but it doesn't persist between restarts at least for me.
Restart your computer. Operations that exceed the limited RAM space are automatically sent to the file to be stored if you have the paging file enabled. Your paging file size should be 1. Your minimum paging file size can be calculated by 8 GB x 1. One of these three solutions should resolve your paging file problems:. You can increase your paging file size in Windows by following the steps under the Troubleshooting section.

This means that the page files increase and decrease based on many factors, such as the amount of physical memory installed, the process of accommodating the system commit charge, and the process of accommodating a system crash dump.
For example, when the system commit charge is more than 90 percent of the system commit limit, the page file is increased to back it. This continues to occur until the page file reaches three times the size of physical memory or 4 GB, whichever is larger.
This all assumes that the logical disk that is hosting the page file is large enough to accommodate the growth. The following table lists the minimum and maximum page file sizes of system-managed page files in Windows 10 and Windows Several performance counters are related to page files. This section describes the counters and what they measure. The following performance counters measure hard page faults which include, but are not limited to, page file reads :.
Hard page faults are faults that must be resolved by retrieving the data from disk. Such data can include portions of DLLs,. These faults might or might not be related to a page file or to a low-memory condition.
Hard page faults are a standard function of the operating system. They occur when the following items are read:.
High values for these counters excessive paging indicate disk access of generally 4 KB per page fault on x86 and x64 versions of Windows and Windows Server.
This disk access might or might not be related to page file activity but may contribute to poor disk performance that can cause system-wide delays if the related disks are overwhelmed.
Therefore, we recommend that you monitor the disk performance of the logical disks that host a page file in correlation with these counters. Be aware that a system that has a sustained hard page faults per second experiences KB per second disk transfers. No performance counter directly measures which logical disk the hard page faults are resolved for. Not all the memory on the modified page list is written out to disk. If a system is configured to have more than one page files, the page file that responds first is the one that is used.
This means that page files that are on faster disks are used more frequently. Be aware that actual page file usage depends greatly on the amount of modified memory that the system is managing. This means that files that already exist on disk such as. Only modified data that does not already exist on disk for example, unsaved text in Notepad is memory that could potentially be backed by a page file.
After the unsaved data is saved to disk as a file, it is backed by the disk and not by a page file. Feedback will be sent to Microsoft: By pressing the submit button, your feedback will be used to improve Microsoft products and services.
