I'm running into an error message, when running games in 4k.

After playing the game for a couple of minutes it will crash and say windows is out of memory; anybody else run into this and know how to fix it? I had this problem a while back when I had 8gb of ram but I thought It had to do with the amount of ram.

I'm running Widows 10 Pro, 16gb of ram, 2x GTX 1080's.

It happens while playing Deus EX MD and Watchdogs 2

 


It detects the 16gb, I bought a new 8x8 set of the same ram. Ill have to check on the Ram use, but when the PC is Idle its using very little ram so I'm sure it's not a virus.
 


Thanks, ill take a look
 


I have multiple HDD's and the SSD that has my steam games was set to none on the paging file size, the only drive that was system managed was my C: drive which has no games, so I set all my drives to system managed.

I think that was the reason since I played Deus Ex last night with no crashing.
 


Yes exactly that is the reason. This is a common issue. Windows should never run into this error with page files on.
