paged pool

About this tag
The paged pool is a region of system memory used for objects that can be written to disk when not in use. Discussions on WindowsForum.com cover paged pool memory leaks in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, particularly when accessing shared files or using memory-mapped files with the FlushViewOfFile() function. Users also report crashes in games due to insufficient paged pool memory, often related to Direct3D vertex buffer locking. Troubleshooting steps include adjusting boot settings like the /3GB switch. Related threads address nonpaged pool leaks involving Irp tags, which can cause system lockups. These topics are relevant for IT administrators and advanced users managing memory issues on Windows systems.
