My PC reports out of memory

**Annamalai** · 17-09-2011

My problem is that whenever I try to play the games or something else then in place of starting the game, kit shows me one message that says memory full. This happens all the times when I try to start the game. I will really appreciate if someone can help me to get the solution for this. Thank you so much in advance for replying to this.

If RAM is your computer is insufficient for the games then you might get the issues like this. You can just check the game requirement and if your system is fulfilling the game requirement. As your system might be lagging the requirement of the game so, check and confirm that first.

How much memory are you having as the physical RAM and what is the setting for the Virtual memory. It must be at least two times the Physical memory. Virtual Memory is actually a files known as PAGEFILE.SYS and by default it would exist in the ROOT of C:. You can check that if it is there or not and what is the size of this? You can also acquire all this information as of Task Manger from the performance tab. If you are having these set properly then, you can verify to see if you have sufficient space on drive which the pagefile is on. If it can't enlarge as you are out of space then what you are seeing can occur.

I think that you need to set the paging file. For doing that, you can simply Right click on My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced -> Performance -> Settings -> Advanced -> Virtual memory -> change -> write a custom size (the same initial and maximum ) -> set -> apply -> close -> restart. If you have a very small hard drive such as that of a EEEPC 4GB, the page file can be disabled.
