Hello,

I have lately been getting a pop up message for not enough memory when I use multiple programs at the same time i.e. my browser and a game OR 2 different browsers. This has continued to now after a fresh restart my system is using 47% of the available memory. I am not certain what to do at this point. I would appreciate any assistance or guidance.

Dont do it this way

Set virtual memory to custom size:
2000MB initial
8000MB max

Instead, set both inital and max to the same max size you want, save and reboot

Set virtual memory to custom size:
8000MB initial
8000MB max

By setting a range you are letting windows "decide" what to use which obviously its not always good at doing. It does this automatically without setting static range anyways and it does a piss poor job at it. This is why we set our custom sizes instead.

If you make them both the same size, then no matter Windows will use the max size and not have to "guess" about what size to use within the range.

Plus it is already saving 8gb of hard disk space on your system for the max size, why not use utilize the max of what...

Hi thank you for the questions. There is 7.9 gb (8gb) of RAM. Virtual memory is set to 1906 MB. I just checked my paging file and I did not disable it.

Hmm.. Okay, its strange because it just recently became a problem. I was wondering if there maybe was an issue with the RAM itself or if something else was happening...
