The HDD virtual memory issue is resolved.
The HDD virtual memory issue is resolved.
Despite all my attempts to adjust the Windows settings, reinstalling on different versions, with or without activation, the issue persists. My PC remains unaffected physically, but the problem centers around an HDD that is unreachable or incorrect Virtual Memory configurations in the BIOS, which aren’t visible in the BIOS menu. There are no Advanced Options available in the BIOS, and when I bought the PC it came with FreeDOS, after formatting and installing Windows 8.1 for the first time, the problem still exists. It severely hampers my ability to work or play normally. Everywhere there’s lag, stuttering, from button clicks to memory issues. Everything on Windows is unresponsive, audio, and controls are malfunctioning. I’ve grown tired of this situation. Irrespective of BIOS type or notebook model, the same issue appeared on my previous device running Linux (now less strict but similar to old DOS systems). I feel stuck—cannot resolve anything in the BIOS settings, maybe a manual BIOS reprogramming is needed, or I need a USB drive for certain tasks. BIOS adjustments are not possible directly from here! Please help me!
This is just another example showing that saving $50 for a laptop without Windows preinstalled wasn't worth it... Likely, your Windows installations come from questionable places, which could complicate things further.
First, consult the manufacturer about a BIOS update, then reset your BIOS to its default state. I don’t understand why you emphasize missing “Advanced” settings, but there’s no real magic that will double your laptop’s speed or memory capacity.
Edit: And if you really need to update the BIOS, ask someone experienced to handle it correctly.
Virtual memory isn't a BIOS option, it is an OS option. In Windows here is how to set the pagefile (which is the virtual memory) --

Virtual memory isn't a BIOS feature, but an OS setting. In Windows, you can configure the pagefile for virtual memory — see the guide here: https://lifehacker.com/understanding-the...nt-5426041. Regarding HDDs, BIOS settings can affect virtual memory, and there may be options to restrict file access (write/read) in those configurations.
No, BIOS doesn't affect those aspects. The operating system is the only one managing files and settings. In Windows, navigate to Control Panel > System > Advanced system properties > Performance > Advanced to access the "Virtual memory" section, where you can adjust the location and size of the paging file.
CountMike explained that the BIOS doesn't affect those issues, the operating system controls files and settings. In Windows, navigate to Control Panel > System > Advanced system properties > Performance > Advanced to adjust the paging file size and location. He also mentioned that disabling certain services like SysMain and Windows Search didn't resolve the problem. He recalled buying a laptop with no OS at first, only FreeDOS, suggesting possible BIOS settings issues for non-Windows systems. Now he can't even access advanced options in the BIOS.
You may want to do clean windows installation, looking at BIOS s not going to help, there's nothing in there about that problem.

BIOS不会影响这些事，操作系统是唯一管理文件和设置的。Windows中，请进入控制面板 > 系统 > 高级系统属性 > 性能 > 高级，找到“虚拟内存”即可调整其位置和大小。
No, it isn't working. Even if I disable some services like SysMain (Superfetch) or Windows Search, nothing changes.
First time I bought the laptop there was no OS, only FreeDOS, maybe there are still incorrect BIOS settings for non-Windows core... Now I can't even see the Advanced options in BIOS :-(
I think you'll need a skilled computer user to assist you personally. Without seeing what you're doing, I can't determine exactly where the issue lies.
