Hi guys

I have this annoying message popping once every a couple of weeks. I run memtest for like 7-8 passes (18 hours or so) but no problems or errors came up. I even did a clear win7 re-installation but still to no avail. I have 16GB of Corsair Vengeance. My specs are listed below:

- ASUS Maximus V Formula
- i7 3770K
- Corsair Vengeance LP 2x8GB 1600Mhz
- EVGA GTX580
- 2x1TB Seagate
- 240GB SSD OCZ Vertex 3
- Corsair TX750V2

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Strange, in your task manager everything looks normal, also in your virtual memory. I have the same set in my PC. Look how many processes I have & still don't get that message:

When this error happens? When you're doing something special (in game or in some software)?
I had once a memory leak during playing the game. Just noticed terrible stuttering & when I quit the game all my 16GB was in work & there wasn't anything in processes that was eating the RAM. Weird, but Opening the photoshop & closing it helped. It happened only once.

Hi guys

I have managed to isolate the problem using the task manager and it is caused by a dllhost.exe (COM Surrogate). I do not know what that file is but that is the process which absorbs all the memory. Any suggestions?
