So i have 8gb of ram and a kingston HyperX 120GB ssd, i can"t turn pagefile off because i never restart my pc, i have like 50 applications running all the time and 20 google chrome tabs + on top off that i like playing battlefield 3 that sucks memory like hell. So if i turn pagefile off memory gets full and my applications stop working because i turned off memory warnings in windows. Now if i put pagefile on my hard drive battlefield starts lagging a lot because it cant reach data fast enough. If pagefile is on ssd it all runs fine but battlefield fills my memory to 90% and starts using pagefile A LOT! What i end up with is 30GB of write on my ssd a day. Yesterday before playing my ram was at 60%, and ssd write in last 24 hours 10GB, i start battlefield, ram goes up to 90%, after an hour of playing i have 22GB of write on my ssd! if a played a few hours it would get over 40. So my question is how do i make my system not use pagefile that much. Making pagefile smalled doesn"t really work. i tried 1-2GB but that happend. Now i"m trying out 512-512MB combination.Also can put some pf on my ssd and some on my hdd so ssd pf is used only when crucial?

I would stick your page file to something like 4gb on the ssd, you could turn it on for your other hard dive too and just let that be system controlled. But the easiest way to get rid of your problem is buy more ram.
What graphics card do you have? Is it that that's running out of ram maybe?

Get rid of the use of pagefile on the SSD is what I've been taught.
If you need the memory for apps, buy it.

When I installed my 120Gig Intel SSD, Windows 7 automatically truned off Pagefile, and I'm only running 4 Gigs of memory! when online I rarly see a couple Kb writes to my drive with long periods of no activity at all.
Are you on an old install of windows, with many hardware upgrades??

As alreddy said above look to get some more ram i would look at the Crucial Ballistix Smart Tracer BLT2CP8G3D1608DT2TXOBCEU 16Gb kit as it has the 1024Mb X 64 chip set http://www.crucial.com/uk/search/searchresults.aspx?keywords=BLT2CP8G3D1608DT2TXOBCEU

if you have a mechanical drive for storage - move the pagefile there
failing that - BUY MORE RAM
