Hello everyone!

Heres the deal, my girlfriend recently got a new custom PC (its 7-9 weeks old) I'll run through the specs now then continue on with the PF Issue we have been having with it.

AMD 64 3000+
Winfast Foxconn NF4K8AC mobo
1GB DDR400 PC3200 RAM
WD 80GB SATA Master
SeaGate 250GB ATA Slave
ATI Radeon X550 128MB PCIe
(I think that is all the PC Specs you may need to know, if not please let me know and i will write them up.)

Ok, heres the deal with the pagefile, i have my GF's PC currently set to 700MB-700MB Pagefile on C:/ so it shouldnt go over 700MB, yet ive seen the pagefile reach in excess of 1.7GB. This is ver troublesome as we have to restart the PC every 24 Hours (give or take)

I would really love to know why the pagefile is being abused so much? My home PC is a similar set up to hers (643200+ FX5900ULTRA256MB 1GBDDR400PC3200 RAM 120GB SATA Main 200GB SATA Slave) yet my pagefile doesnt get the abuse that her PC does. My PC will run for months without me having to reboot, yet hers is once every 24-48 hours. And pretty much, this is my last resort, comming on to a PC Help forum and see if other users have had the same problem, or know a solution. Now dont get me wrong, ive know about this issue for a few weeks now, and have been tryin to solve it myself;
(ive done numerous things, set 0 page file, reboot delete the pagefile.sys, reboot make new pagefile. Make new pagefile on a seperate partition. Make the Pagefile 1.5GB max, make it 700MB max, the list goes on)

Any/all help would be immensly helpful.

Howdy macy and Welcome To Pc Help Forum,
When you set the page file are you clicking the custom setting? Then set apply etc..? Almost seems like you have a memory leak somewhere. Or something is not releasing the pagefile. Can you go into your device manager and under system find out what is going on with the page file. And what programs are running that use 700 megs of page when you got a gig of ram.. I mean my page is set at 1024 but I never get passed 356 megs of v ram. Do you have the pc set up to be a (more of a page file) pc? Right click computer/click properties/advanced/now it will ask what you want to use the pc for background programs or page file which one is checked?
But the device manager will help alot. And Windows does not like it when its page file is set to 0..

Ive tried, Custom setting, as well as default setting, but i never set pagefile to 0, Only to 0 when i deleted the pagefile, to create a new pagefile, but ive never had no pagefile on any system i have run.

As to the Memory leek, that is the only possible answer i was able to come up with, now the thing is, there isnt ANY program on my GF's PC that i personally dont run myself on my own home PC. Although i have a sneeking suspision that it is bittorrents that is causing this malfunction.

My Performance is set to Programs, not System Cache. And i see no "System" in the Device Manager. By Device Manager i assume you mean Right Click My Computer > Hardware > Device Manager.
