During the Windows 10 force install times, I actually disabled Windows Updater to the best of my ability since I leave my system on all the time. After the whole thing died down, suddenly my system complained about having low memory. I figured "Okay, happened once, no big deal."
The problem is this didn't happen just once. It'd happen almost all the time after my system experienced a hard crash (power loss, plain old crash, etc). However it went away was seemingly if I just ignored it long enough. After one particular night kept crashing me while running Chrome (with only a few extensions), I went out and tried to find the culprit. After keeping an eye on Resource Monitor (not Task Manager), I saw something that made my head spin: I was running into the issue with many times having more than 6GB/16GB as free memory!
Tired of the guess work, I took the old fashioned route of just reinstalling Windows (I wanted a fresh start anyway). Reinstalled Windows 7 64bit Pro, got my drivers back and running, and all was well. That is, until today, while running AltSpaceVR, I experienced the Low Memory Error. I was back to where I left off. This also happened while running the Epic Games Launcher to download the Ark ADK while at work.
When I did a system backup, I ran the FreeMem test that came with CloneZilla to see if maybe I was having a hardware issue. Test ran 3 times and all was well. I know you are supposed to run it MANY times (like 30+), but I was impatient and needed sleep for work. I even reseated my RAM to be safe (never know) and ensured I had all my latest drivers.
So now I'm at a total loss. I thought by reinstalling Windows, whatever was causing the issue, assuming it was just some weird bug caused by disabling updates, would go away. Seeing that it is still here, I now can at least tell it has something to do with my setup or my system. I plan to rebuild my current system soon, but I'm growing annoyed with the situation at hand.
I'm at a full loss at what is causing this issue! If it's some kind of software conflict or hardware conflict, I want to resolve it before doing a new build, let alone another reinstall!
So, here is what I have installed (and was present in my previous install unless otherwise noted):
As for my system specs:
CPU: Intel i5-3570K (Not overclocked at the moment for testing purposes)
RAM: 4x4GB DDR3 (16GB)
GPU: MSI GTX980Ti Lightning Edition
Mother Board: Gigabyte Z77-DS3H (F9 Firmware)
OS: Windows 7 Pro 64bit
Hard Drives:
