Can you upload a screenshot of your task manager? There maybe a rogue process taking up all of your memory.

I don't see anything other than Chrome using much RAM

 

Maybe it is specific to that application?

Check KillingFloor forum for similar issues.

 

Did you have similar issues when running any other game/ application?

What GPU are you using? Maybe your GPU does not have enough VRAM?

You might want to check your system for potential malware and backdoor trojan.

VRAM won't trigger a low-RAM error.

 

Can you take a screenshot of both the performance tab and the processes tab while a game is open? (preferably when the error appears on the screen)

When the error appears I cant open task manager.

Make sure it's always open in the background , so you can alt+tab to it

This is a known issue with Windows 8.1. The issue is with a memory leak caused by Windows, hence why you get the error in multiple games. It's not confirmed, but one potential thing that triggers it is if your desktop resolution is different than the resolution you use in game. It's a problem that Microsoft will need to patch no matter what, but if you are playing at a resolution that is different than your desktop, that may be what is causing your problem.

I always play at desktop resolution though

I always play at desktop resolution though

That's just one potential cause, but not the only one. It's an overall issue with Windows 8/8.1 that can happen to anyone, regardless of resolution, and there is no user side fix atm. It's just one more thing to throw in the faces of people like to say "there is no reason not to upgrade from Windows 7".
