Check drive c:\ do you have this foder?

Windows.old

Also the increase of size may be due to the multiple error reports created by windows.

In both cases , run the built-in disk cleaner

Control panel > admin tools > disk cleaner

Select drive C , run it once, after select "clean system files" admin button , tick all boxes then run it again.

In computer management, click on event viewer & then expand window logs & click on system logs. Check current date for error, critical & warning logs & u will find it.If u know what exact time BSOD happened, u can find it easily.

Really i don't know the time or even the exact date as because at that time my brother was using the Pc.
He just told me that a blue screen occured & PC got restarted.

But u posted in thread, 4 days ago u faced BSOD. Hmm..then u need to check throughly for critical, error or warning logs only. Since ur pc running fine i don't think u need to worry about. what i found that this error happens when someone tries to install window 8 in outdated virtual pc softwares like vmware.

if your pc did a complete memory dump it can be that big

here are the kinds of dumps Windows 8 can do

Varieties of Kernel-Mode Dump Files

Complete Memory Dump

This dump file requires a pagefile on your boot drive that is at least as large as your main system memory;
it should be able to hold a file whose size equals your entire RAM plus one megabyte.

The Complete Memory Dump file is written to %SystemRoot%\Memory.dmp by default.

Sorry for that wrong information its 3-4 days ago. my PC is running fine but i just don't want that increased size

 

[jim lin]

if you do not need the dump file to see what made it happen you can use disk cleanup tool in the adminiatrative tools to delete the memory dump file

 

[MrExplorer]

I want to delete that dump file. Is there anyway to delete that file

I tried Disk Cleanup many times still there is not such dump file deleted in Disk Cleanup

 

[Koroke San]

Use ccleaner, privazer & wise disk cleaner & see results.

mabe it is this?

Automatic Memory Dump

An Automatic Memory Dump contains the same information as a Kernel Memory Dump. The difference between the two is not in the dump file itself, but in the way that Windows sets the size of the system paging file.

If the system paging file size is set to System managed size, and the kernel-mode crash dump is set to Automatic Memory Dump, then Windows can set the size of the paging file to less than the size of RAM. In this case, Windows sets the size of the paging file large enough to ensure that a kernel memory dump can be captured most of the time.

If the computer crashes and the paging file is not large enough to capture a kernel memory dump, Windows increases the size of the paging file to at least the size of RAM. The time of this event is recorded here in the Registry:

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CrashControl\LastCrashTime

The increased paging file size stays in place for 4 weeks and then returns to the smaller size. If you want to return to the smaller paging file before 4 weeks, you can delete the Registry entry.

By deleting that registry are you sure that it will not cause any instability to my PC
