Posted November 11, 2014 Hi guys, Recently I have noticed that I am getting the message "Close program to prevent memory loss". I have 8 gigs of ram and when using Photoshop and watching YouTube (Only one tab open in chrome) and I still get these messages. I also get it when I am playing Arma 3 and Streaming at the same time. Is there anything that might be causing this? Thanks in advance!

Posted November 11, 2014 You can run memtest to see if it is a hardware problem in your ram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 11, 2014 Might be something wrong with a driver that is leaking memory. I had a similar problem before (except with 16GB ram), but I don't recall the solution since it involved changing one value in a registry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
