Please Help, not enough memory.

[OldTechniques]

Hey guys, I have just built a pc and i have installed google chrome and it often crashes. when i try to start it back up again it comes up with a message saying "you do not have enough memory to lauch this program, close another program and try again"  so i close one of the programs that i have open, then try again and it comes up with the same message. When I restart my system it all works fine.

 

My system specs:

 

- asrock extreme 6

- 8Gb Corsair dominator platinum

- i5 4670k

- r9 270x

- western digital black 2tb

- be quiet dark rock pro 2

 

Please Help!

Go to Task Manager and see how much RAM you're using.

make sure you have installed the latest chip-set drivers if it is a bran new build.  also in device manager are there any unknown devices.

[OldTechniques]

Ok thanks, I will have a look tomorrow. And get back to you guys.

have you installed all of the motherboard drivers, look on there website they are all there.  The auto driver finder tend not to find everything.  The general chip-set driver might also fix it.

 

The Ram use you have report looks very normal. my 8gb system is sting at that right now.

not sure if Z77 need a chip set install/update or if windows has it by default.

I have now got rid of the unknow device, and still have a universal serial bus (usb) controller.

Whats your page file size? It should be min 8gb and 16gb to make everything work smoothly.

[OldTechniques]

My total paging file size for all drives is 8122Mb

That should be fine. I recommend you do a stability test with Prime95 and then run a memory test using Memtest86++.

Please post back with your results. Also just a fair warning, the Prime95 test can produce a lot of heat on the CPU, so make sure you watch the temps.

I am going to run these test tonight and will post my results tomorrow.

the 3420mb's of free ram has made me a bit curious. Are you running a 64bit version of windows?

[OldTechniques]

yes i am running the 64bit win 7

Hi, I would just like to recommend that if this issue isn't solved that you shouldn't mark it as solved. Most people do not check threads that have been marked as solved. Unfortunately, I don't know the solution to your problem, but hopefully I will help in a way that will find someone that does!

[OldTechniques]

i have fixed the problem of not being able to lauch programs due to not enough memory to lauch, close another program and ry again.
