FIX: Predator PT314-51s Freezing/Crashing

Emperor

FIX: This was happening to me as well, basically every day, sometimes several times a day. I tinkered with RAM/Memory allocation settings, and now it happens extremely rarely. By rarely, I mean about once every 3 to 4 months, if even that. It seems to be a Virtual Memory problem by the looks of it.

Solution (Predator PT314-51s — Windows 11): Go to System Settings. Scroll the to the very bottom. Click on "About". Scroll slightly below to find "Related Links". Then click on "Advanced System Settings." Click on the "Advanced" Tab. Click on "Settings" under Performance. Click once again on "Advanced" Tab. Click on "Virtual Memory". This is what you need to write:

(Yes, this is a precise calculation based on the Hardware):

Click on "Custom Size": Initial Size should be 24576 MB

Maximum Size should be: 49152 MB

Thus, make sure above it reads: Drive Volume Label — Paging File Size (MB) 24576-49152

Click OK.

After This adjustment was made, I went from crashing/freezing every half an hour or so, to once every 4 months or so. It is still annoying when that happens, and I am sure the memory adjustments can be tinkered with more…But that is the resource allocation you need to calculate for the system. This means that in ideal circumstances, your hard disk drive should have about 100 GB free space, both for the virtual memory and to store new files. Thus, about 800 to 900 GB can be used for games or whatever. But I noticed that I was not receiving any crashes at all, until my Disk Drive only had about 10 GB left. With such a large amount of Virtual Memory, you need to free up Hard Disk space. But even then, it happens extremely rarely.

Hopefully this helps all of you out.
