Actually... it's way worse than a simple crash - it's more like the machine suddenly loses all power and is shut down forcibly. I get not further than the boot logo and the machine just kinda dies.
I have fast-startup and hibernation enabled and the problem only occurs in these two cases.
Rebooting it seems to work (maybe because it's not using the kernel hibernation file anymore). Re-enabling the pagefile also fixes the problem.
The problem isn't there with a totally fresh and untainted installation, but kinda creeps in after I install some drivers (not sure which one causes it).
BTW I know a lot of people say there is no reason to disable the pagefile (especially with 8/16 GB RAM these days). But this increases my computer's performance massively, by reducing hard drive access (as task manager suggests). My system seems to use the pagefile too often and too unnecessarily (even when RAM is like 40% full).

with ProcessHacker you can see under tools->pagefiles the usage: http://processhacker.sourceforge.net/ How much is used that is too much for you?
