Hello,
Recently I have been getting errors involving memory usage which was very odd to me because I have 24GB installed in my system and I haven't had an issue before doing larger work loads than that of recent and its at the point where even having a google or two open causes issues with about 8 tabs each.

On startup I am using roughly around 16GB leaving me with 7-8GB to use which gets taken up quickly if I leave google open with music while I play a game. My CPU usage remains low and when I check the performance tab and sort by usage it doesnt give me an accurate representation of where its all going.

Restarting hasn't resolved any issues before and my startup is minimal
 
What specific memory errors are you getting?
Have you configured virtual memory settings in any way? Tried to disable virtual memory perhaps?
Can you post screenshot from:
Control Panel/System/Advanced System Settings/Advanced/Performance/Settings/Advanced/Virtual Memory/Change/

Everytime I have tried to reset my pc before it cancels and doesn't go through with it since upgrading to windows 10 when it was first released, I never had the issue on windows 8 or 8.1. I will be trying another reset and hopefully the issue is resolved.
