just change your power supply but first try to test using other power supply..

Hey there,

Have you monitored your temps whilst in the game, alt tab out and check?

Also perhaps check the basic thing of GPU seating properly etc.

To me it sounds like a heating issue or something is faulty.

I have checked the temps and they are perfectly fine.

Actually, even my new comp with 8GB still get low memory issue from graphics intensed game, especially playing it in high settings + higher res than 1080p, that uses a lot of memory. I have GTX770.

Also try to update your video card driver if you haven't done so

I have already updated my graphics drivers and the games I play are Watch dogs, TF 2, counter strike, day z and im pretty sure its not a memory problem. Any other suggestions?

have you overclocked your cpu, gpu or ram?? if you did any one of them then get it back to the stock hope it helps... or your power supply cannot supply enough power...
