    Low on memory when not (10.1 GB out of 16 total)

    I reinstalled Windows and that didn't help. I ended up buying more ram and everything is 'fine' now..

    Low on memory when not (10.1 GB out of 16 total)

    I'm just going to guess it's a problem with my RAM or motherboard then and see what my RMA options are for both.

    Low on memory when not (10.1 GB out of 16 total)

    Turning off page filing did not solve my issue. I am still getting low memory warnings.

    I have not, but I will try disabling it now and report back later to see what changes.

    Low on memory when not (10.1 GB out of 16 total)

    I have a GTX 980 and I am using that. Also, while I was playing a game earlier (ArmA 3), it randomly closed with an error saying I have 10 mb left in my page file. When it said that, I was still around 10 gigs of system ram. As far as process explorer goes, what am I supposed to do with this? I...

    Low on memory when not (10.1 GB out of 16 total)

    I keep getting a low memory error from Windows when I reach around 10.1 gb usage (out of 16 gb total). I don't understand why this keeps happening though. When it exceeds this much memory, programs start crashing. I am running Windows 10 pro. I have 16 gb DDR3 (2x 8gb, CMY16GX3M2A2133C11) and...

    SSD performance really slow

    Hello, I just installed a Samsung 850 evo running Windows 10 on it. I thought about encrypting it but I decided not to until I could perform benchmarks. As it turns out, the benchmarks on it are quite poor even for a fresh install. Here is a screenshot of the benchmarks taken with Samsung...

    Samsung 850 evo & encryption

    I've decided to put this on hold for now. Apparently my SSD isn't running nearly as fast as it should without any encryption. http://i.imgur.com/nKaS3Tg.png I think I will open a new thread for this.

    Samsung 850 evo & encryption

    Hello, I just purchased a Samsung 850 evo SSD and I'm looking at encryption options. The drive has not been installed and is still in the box. This is all foreign to me so I apologize for any stupid questions. Does this drive support hardware-based encryption? Is this something my motherboard...

    Faulty (maybe dead) PSU, EVGA wants paperclip test. How do I do it w/o cable or jumper?

    Nevermind, I figured it out. I tested it and the fan turns on, both in and out of ECO mode. I have no idea why my PC doesn't boot up with this replacement whereas my old, apparently failing. PSU does power up. I will be returning this and letting EVGA know. Thanks for the assist.

    Faulty (maybe dead) PSU, EVGA wants paperclip test. How do I do it w/o cable or jumper?

    Hello, I recently RMA'd my EVGA SuperNOVA 1050 gs. I got the replacement, it worked for several days, and then one morning my computer refused to turn on. I could see the light on my motherboard on, but hitting the power didn't do anything. So I took my old PSU since I didn't ship it back...
