Hello !

I recieved my SSD yesterday (samsung 850 pro 256gb) and made a fresh install of windows 7 on it. I installed some games/apps on it as well.

When i play Skyrim (heavily modded i must say), i keep having messages about having not enough memory, and saying that i should close programs to avoid losing data. (can't tell the exact message since i have windows in french). I have 8gb memory, but when i get this message i have only 70-80% used. I never had this problem in Skyrim before, and i have the exact same mods as i had on my HDD before. (maybe i should mention i use play Skyrim with an ENB with ENBOOST enabled. when this message appear, skyrim uses about 800-1000mb memory, while enbhost takes 3100. I'm pretty sure the memory usage was the same before i had the SSD)

Could pagefile be the cause of that ? I set them as recommended by the samsung magician tool (initial 200mb, max 1gb)

EDIT: Forgot my specs

i5-4590
8gb memory
gtx 970
samsung 850 pro 256gb
WD caviar black 1TB (for storage)
 


Samsung's RAPID Mode uses 2GB of your memory. If Skyrim uses 1GB and ENBHost uses 3GB, then that is probably why you're getting messages about low memory.

Disable RAPID Mode in Samsung Magician to recover 2GB of memory.
