When you are browsing the Web or doing some work in your Computer, all of a sudden your computer restarts, and the next time when you turn on your PC you will get “The system has recovered from a serious error” warning on startup.
The error also shows some dump files details when you click ‘click here’ message. Windows error reporting tool may prompt you to send this report to Microsoft if error reporting was not disabled in your Computer.
How to Fix ”Unable to Open C Drive or USB Drive from My Computer”
Why this error is showing in my Computer?
Whenever your computer stops responding, small memory dump files are created, containing details about the error in a folder in Windows Directory called Minidump. These will be useful to analyze the problem.
So whenever your computer was stopped, after it’s restart, there is a flag set for Page file that will indicate that Memory dump file should be written.

How to Fix this error?
This problem can resolved by re-creating a new page file.
1. Log into your Computer with administrative privileges and right click on My Computer >Properties
2. Select Advanced > under Performance>click Settings and again select Advanced in the Performance options
3. (Before modifying the Virtual memory, note down the Paging file size value of custom size you set) then click ‘Change’ in the virtual Memory.
4. Select No Page file, click Set, click OK and restart your computer. Choose to continue to proceed to restart when you get any warning.
5. Now after restart, you can see the paging file size as “0” in Virtual Memory options.

6. Now open My computer >Tools>Folder Options>View>uncheck Hide protected Operating System files.
7. Open Root drive that is C, and you will find Pagefile.sys file, delete it permanently and restart your system.
8. Now Under Virtual Memory, set paging file size to ‘Custom’ or ‘System Managed Size’.

keep coming buddy you are welcome here.
Hey Venkat, it worked! This issue was also bringing me the blue screen of death so thank you very much.
Hi! Sorry, all went well to step No. 6. But when I opened Root drive that is C and I could not find Pagefile.sys file. And I had already clicked OK at step No. 6. Will this affect the computer system operation?
Please help.

nice! thank you…
i have last one question why my LAN AREA CONNECTION hard to load? it open after 2 minutes. can you help me? its because my PC to slow?
It happens to all users, you should remember that all system-related services needs to load one by one on start up, that’s why that delay. Try disabling unneeded start up programs.
thanks for info.
i had delete pagefile.sys but that file back again..is still effect for resolution this problem?
thanks for your reply.
That article written when on XP? if you’re using XP try to follow step by step mentioned in the article, let me know if that doesn’t solves the problem.
Ok since changing the virtual memory and page file size the serious error display did not pop up like usual but I could not find pagefile.sys to delete. Is that necessary if the error display no longer appears?
I don’t think so.
Thank’s alot for your solution
there is no warning in my computer now…
I am glad about that,you’re welcome heri.
Thanks so much

Hi
Thanks for the prompt reply and will definitely look forward to your latest stories. Sadly, the problem is not resolved yet. The PC still restarts. Can you guide me with further help?
Which Windows OS you’re using XP, 7 or Windows 8 or 10? That post was written way back in 2009, I my self encountered the problem when using XP, I’ve fixed the problem my self and written the solution, today I am using Windows 10. Hope you understand, it’s difficult to find solutions to these issues now a days unless you’re actually using that OS. I am sharing the below official Microsoft links for you to refer.

I have just followed the procedure and it seems to have worked although I could not find the Pagefile.sys file.
After restarting I had a single of instance of “The System has recovered from a serious error” but no further recurrence as yet.
An additional bonus is that my computer had been taking a very long time to close down a Windows session, but now it closes quite quickly again.
I am running Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 SP3
same i also cant find that paglefile and use xp sp3
supper sir
