Low Memory Error in Games ?

[Tany3214]

Okay guys so first of all here are my specs:
Intel Pentium G3220 3.0GHz
Intel HD Graphics 4000
4 GB DDR3 RAM
Windows 10 Pro 64-bit

Now, I've been trying to play some EA's latest titles like FIFA 16 Demo and Unravel (Trial) which are officially downloaded from Origin. But when I try to play these games they start pretty well and as soon as the game tries to load the 3D world somehow my computer runs out of memory and give me this error:-

Some applications are making your computer go low on memory, please close the applications and then try again.

Close Cancel

I can run FIFA 16 without any problem because it doesn't get closed when I chose to cancel to close it but in case of Unravel (Trial) it doesn't keep running when I cancel the error instead it crash to desktop and lowers my resolution to the minimum 800x600 and unfortunately I have to restart my PC. Please help me with this Windows issue guys.

Check you virtual memory settings.
It's in Control Panel/System/Advanced system settings/Advanced/Settings/Advanced/Change
Take screenshot and post link.

But obvious solution to your problem is just adding more ram.

This seems pretty straight forward. Increasing your memory capacity from 4GB to 8GB should take care of the problem.

Also, make sure Windows is fully up to date and that you do the same for drivers (like your video driver). Keep in mind that the Intel HD Graphics 4000 shares memory with your current 4GB of main memory, this further reduces the amount of memory available to applications (like games).

Changing to a stand alone (a.k.a. discrete) video card will also help your performance increase.

you shouldn't really need to increase the RAM from 4GB to 8GB, but you should definitely invest in a discrete GPU something like a GTX 960 or similar.

Don't worry guys I've solved it. It seems that Unravel required the whole leftover RAM after Windows 10 use it like 3.57GB or similar which is again decreased by Intel HD 4000. So, I set the recommended virtual RAM and restart. And then I lowered the whole settings to very low ex:- resolution to 640x480, textures and all other stings to low which required much less RAM to load the new level and the game didn't crashed. You can turn the settings high or back to normal once the new level load which doesn't cause crash and game runs perfectly.
