Windows creating temporary paging file

Solution: In this case, the page file had grown too large and corrupted itself. I was able to resolve the issue by deleting the pagefile.sys file and having Windows recreate it from scratch. Here are the steps on how to complete this task.

1) Click Start, right-click Computer, and select Properties
2) In the left pane, select Advanced system settings
3) On the Advanced tab, click the Settings button under Performance
4) On the Advanced tab, click the Change button under Virtual memory
5) Clear the Automatically manage paging file size for all drives check box and check No paging file
6) Click Set button next to No paging file
7) Click OK on all open windows and restart your machine
8) Open up Windows Explorer
9) Navigate to the root of your system drive (C:\)
10) Enable the showing of System Files
11) On the View menu, click Options
12) On the View tab, click Show All Files, and then click OK
13) Delete the pagefile.sys file
14) Click Start, right-click Computer, and select Properties
15) In the left pane, select Advanced system settings
16) On the Advanced tab, click the Settings button under Performance
17) On the Advanced tab, click the Change button under Virtual memory
18) Check the Automatically manage paging file size for all drives checkbox and click OK
19) Restart your machine
