I recently built a PC with a Ryzen 5 5600x, a 4060 Ti, and 16GB of Corsair Vengeance RAM. However, I'm facing major issues where every time I start up my system, this strange window pops up and prevents me from using my computer for anything, including gaming and watching Netflix. The only game that seems to run smoothly is GTA 4, which is odd. I've tried everything: reinstalling Windows, running command prompts to check the PC's health, and even wiping the whole system, but nothing works. I also checked the box for automatic settings on the paging file, but the window keeps reappearing after I reboot.

It sounds like you've disabled your paging file, which can cause the errors you're seeing. You should check the option to "automatically manage paging file size for all drives" in the system settings and then reboot your PC. This usually helps solve such issues. Also, make sure both of your drives have enough free space available.
It's definitely not something you want to mess with unless you know what you're doing. Just go with the default settings for the paging file; it usually resolves most issues. Also, having at least 100GB free on each drive should be sufficient for it to work properly.
I appreciate the help! I have over 100GB free on both drives, but I might have to recheck those paging settings again.
Thanks for the tip! I thought I had it set right but maybe I missed it. I'll double-check and see if that fixes the issue.
