    I use Diskeeper to defragment my HDD, My C: drive seems to be critical, i have defragmented it over and over and over again, yet it stays the same O_O, does it need a boot time defragmenation or somethign? its 30% fragmented and my pagefile is fragmented into like 4000 pieces, maybe thats why my pagefile is so high aswell?

    **Edit~~ I performaed a boot time defagmentation, an error came up though and i dont think it was able to defrag the pagefile, anyway, its still defragmented really bad.

    The error was something like: Error: Could not find Contiguous Free space for Page File.

    You need 15-25% free to defragment successfully on Windows. 15% is the minimum, 25% is preferred.

    Yep, diskeeper struggles when there's not enough space to move around data on the disk.
