My computer keeps locking up all the time shutting down for no reason, etc. This is the error I keep getting Fatal Error 0157-00006632. can someone please help!!
 
Is it possible that the hard drive partition (where your swap file resides) is either nearly full, or severly fragmented? I'd check the 'properties' on that drive, try to free up at least 200 GB of space (empy Recycle Bin, delete any/all files from C:\Temp, C:\Windows\Temp and/or C:\Windows\Temporary Internet Files (again be sure they're also gone from the Recycle Bin). Then run the 'defrag' utility to free up contiguous hard drive space so that windows can use it to write the swapfile to.

Here's a link to a Microsoft Bulletin on the subject:


Good Luck
 
My drive isn't defragmented at all, and all that is empty! Thanks though
