Zorluk: ZorTroubleshooting Windows Performance and Application Crashes

A Windows 11 workstation hosting a specialized data simulation tool experiences severe system stuttering followed by application crashes during heavy workload execution. A technician checks system metrics and discovers physical RAM utilization at 98% with continuous high hard fault rates. Further inspection shows the virtual memory paging file is capped at a fixed maximum size of 256 MB on a slow secondary volume. Which of the following is the most appropriate initial step to resolve this performance degradation and prevent application crashes?

  1. Reconfigure virtual memory settings to allow the system to automatically manage the page file size on the main system drive.Cevap
  2. B
    Run chkdsk /r from an elevated command prompt to repair memory allocation address errors on the primary drive.
  3. C
    Use Event Viewer to clear the System log to free up occupied system RAM and cache.
  4. D
    Perform an immediate clean reinstallation of the Windows operating system to fix system registry corruption.

Cevap

Reconfigure virtual memory settings to allow the system to automatically manage the page file size on the main system drive.
When physical RAM reaches near-capacity (98% utilization) accompanied by high hard fault rates, the operating system requires virtual memory (pagefile.sys) to temporarily store memory pages. A page file restricted to 256 MB limits total system commit memory, leading to out-of-memory application crashes. Allowing Windows to automatically manage the page file size on the primary storage drive expands virtual memory as needed, preventing memory exhaustion crashes.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the observed symptoms and system metrics.
Physical RAM is nearly exhausted at 98% utilization with high hard fault rates, indicating active demand for virtual memory paging.
When RAM is full, the OS moves inactive memory pages to pagefile.sys on disk.
2
Identify the bottleneck causing the application crash.
The page file is capped at a fixed 256 MB, preventing Windows from expanding virtual memory to satisfy application allocation requests.
Inadequate total commit limit causes out-of-memory exceptions and silent application crashes.
3
Select the correct remediation step.
Configuring Windows to automatically manage the paging file size on the primary system volume resolves the memory deficit.
Dynamic sizing allows virtual memory to expand automatically under heavy workloads.
