Whenever i play a game that requires a bit of ram i keep getting a memory error (too much memory usage error) and it says cancel or close program, but when i try to click it my system is already frozen and i need to shut it down how to fix it. I have 8GB of ram.

Any game? Or just the bf1 beta? I have gotten that message a few times myself even though the game is not coming close to using all my memory, I think its a bug. I solved it by setting resolution scale to 42% it seems to be bugged for some people when they exceed 42%. I get stuttering, freezes, directx errors, that memory useage error if that setting is above 42%.

Its happens in BO3 i think it is because it uses up to 8GB of ram and a bit is being used from Windows aswell so im going to order more ram instead of a new CPU/MOBO or i may get a FX 8300 and a M5A78-L USB/3 mobo and 8 more gigs of ram.

Your memory is being depleted means u need more for whatever app it is. Trying closing some other stuff in background to reserve more for whatever app your needing the extra ram for. http://www.razerzone.com/cortex/ download this best thing to use if u have 8gb pc or less run this first use the boost now button and the launch whatever it is your trying to run . This will shutdown programs easier with just checkmark for the ones u want razer cortez to automatically shutdown before u launch your main program. This is made by the people who make top of the line razer cortez gaming mouses. Ive used this program myself and give it a 10 .

I added Virtual ram and no it did not drop my performance at all cause it still never passes 7GB of ram and my windows uses 1-1.5 GB of my ram.
