Zorluk: OrtaTroubleshooting Windows Performance and Application Crashes

A user reports that a financial data application on a Windows workstation freezes and crashes with an out-of-memory error during large calculations. While reproducing the issue, a technician notes physical RAM usage reaching 99%99\% and excessive disk swapping activity right before the application closes unexpectedly. Which TWO of the following steps should the technician take to resolve this performance bottleneck and prevent future crashes?

  1. Increase the size of the Windows paging file to expand available virtual memory capacity.Cevap
  2. Install additional physical RAM modules into the workstation motherboard.Cevap
  3. C
    Run the sfc /scannow command from an elevated prompt to clear the RAM cache.
  4. D
    Open Disk Management and convert the system drive from a basic disk to a dynamic disk.

Cevap

The correct solutions are to increase the size of the Windows paging file to expand virtual memory and to install additional physical RAM into the workstation.
Expanding the paging file provides immediate extra virtual memory commit limit to stop out-of-memory application crashes, while installing additional physical RAM directly resolves memory starvation and eliminates heavy disk swapping performance bottlenecks.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the observed performance metrics.
High RAM utilization (99%99\%) and heavy disk swapping indicate physical memory exhaustion and virtual memory saturation.
When physical memory is exhausted, Windows uses the paging file on the disk as virtual memory; if the commit limit is exceeded, applications crash with out-of-memory errors.
2
Implement virtual memory remediation.
Increasing the virtual memory paging file size prevents immediate application crashes by expanding total system commit memory.
This provides immediate relief for memory-intensive background tasks.
3
Implement physical memory remediation.
Installing additional physical RAM modules resolves the performance bottleneck caused by disk thrashing/swapping.
Hardware upgrade guarantees sustained performance under high operational load.
