Windows is very finicky with how things need to be when it comes to the OS, the pagefile, etc. Let's create this scenario as an example:


System:


SSD #1, 250 GB - Windows 8.1.


HDD #1 (you have a total of two drives in the system with the SSD + HDD, but I'm labeling it as #1 because you only have one HDD in the system specifically), 1 TB - Storage.


If the OS drive is getting BSOD's (SSD), the pagefile must! also be on the SSD itself. Many people store the pagefile off on the storage drive to save space to get the most performance, but when this is done, we get a lot of crash generation problems, or no crashes generated at all.


EDIT - Some also disable the pagefile entirely on SSD's (the horror), and this is also why we have crash generation problems.
