High allocated memory

[lm.lorenzo]

Hi,
I'm having some problems with my pc running on windows 10 with 16GB of RAM.
When I'm using programs that need a lot of RAM (~8GB) I run out of memory, but looking in the task or in the performance manager I can see that the allocated memory is 100% but the physical memory used is under 70% and I have ~4-5GB free but a lot of programs start crashing.

I think this is strange since when I've never had problems using a lot of RAM,
is there any reason/solution?

Launch Performance Monitor. Add the following counters:

Process-->Private Bytes (for each process you want to examine)

Process-->Virtual Bytes (for each process you wish to examine)

Change the update time to 600 seconds to capture a graph of the leak over time. You might also want to log the data to a file for later examination.

The Private Bytes counter indicates the total amount of memory that a process has allocated, not including memory shared with other processes. The Virtual Bytes counter indicates the current size of the virtual address space that the process is using.
