Hi

I bought new customize pc 2 ago and yesterday and today shows me virtual memory error. I don't think that with following specs I have any problem with memory.

Specs:
Processor: Intel i7-4790K CPU @ 4.00GHz
RAM: 32GB
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 (4096 mb)
OS: Windows 7 64Bit

Yesterday error: "Windows has detected your performance is slow"
Today error: "Your computer is low on memory please close X program"

Thank you

Sounds like maybe they turned off the pagefile with the 32GB ram, although that's a bad idea that keeps floating around the internet. Google how to adjust page file and set it back to "let windows decide" and that should fix your problem.

You don't need a page file with 32GB ram unless you are doing some massive video file editing. You can turn the pagefile back to auto but you shouldn't need it.

Some old programs rely on it though, regardless of the amount of RAM and turning it fully off can cause problems with programs that think it exists. Not a lot, but they could be running something that does.
