Are you talking about a page file?
If so you should have that turned off if you have more than 4gb RAM.

Windows starts paging at around 30% full RAM. Unless you want your system to be throttled you should turn it off once you have enough RAM.
Yes, I know Windows is badly designed and having no page file will stop it from some kinds of error reporting, but there shouldn't be a problem.
You will NEVER get in to a thrashing state if you have no page file, so I don't know why you brought that up.

cl-scott.... It is literally IMPOSSIBLE for a computer to enter a thrashing state if it has no swap file.
Your issue was definitely not this. Perhaps you had a ton of stuff open and simply didn't have the RAM to load the game - however this is not a thrashing state.
