GGG Answer this please! Game crashing no solution!!

Let me ask you a different question first.

Are you running Path of Exile off your Hard Drive directly, or is it on a network share or USB drive or something?

If you're running it off your Hard Drive, you can modify your page file size by right-clicking on your "My Computer" item and selecting Properties. Click on "Change Settings" or something and look for the Advanced tab that lists Performance, User Profiles, Startup and Recovery, etc. Click the "Settings" button on Performance then click the "Advanced" tab on that screen. There's a section there titled "Virtual Memory". You can change the pagefile size there. You can turn it off automatic and set it to "no paging file" which will turn it off (requires a reboot to free the file I think). Then you can delete the pagefile.sys on the drive listed on that screen.

Then you go back to that screen and re-enable page file. I usually use a "fixed" size as required and not let windows manage it. I set it to a "Custom size" and set both the Initial and Maximum to the same value. That pre-allocates all the space for it and won't negatively impact performance if it needs more space. Also keeps it contiguous if you have a defragged drive.

Just set them both to a level good for your usage. If you're not sure, use the Recommended size. Hopefully that helps fix your issue. As I said, that exception code is a disk error so something isn't working right with the communication with the drive somewhere.

It's probably a "hidden" file because you have explorer set to hide system files.

You can either enable that setting in the Folder Options, or you can delete it from the command-line.

It's easier to set the folder options to show the files so you can delete it, but you can open an Admin prompt (by running cmd.exe as admin) then run 2 commands to get rid of the pagefile.

The first one makes it writable/non-hidden : attrib -r -a -s -h C:\pagefile.sys
The second one deletes it : del C:\pagefile.sys

ok tried those commands says "Cannot change definition - C:\pagefile.sys
and other command gives "file C:\pagefile.sys cannot be found"

You didn't run the cmd prompt as admin.

Click the Start / Windows button, then type 'cmd' (without the quotes) into the "Search" bar. It should list cmd.exe. right-click it and select "Run as Administrator". Then try the commands again. Make sure you have "no page file" set in your options otherwise it will still be in use.

what happens if you type attrib C:\pagefile.sys ... do you get any output?

you can also do dir /ah C:\ and see if the pagefile.sys shows up in there. It could possibly already be deleted by the system when you told it to not use a pagefile anymore.
