Does Windows 10 21h1 have built in "out of ram" protection? Am I going to crash with blue screen or OS will give me a pop up window warning? I'm trying to open and run firefox with 4 tabs and games at same time. Total usage around %70 with I have 16GB ram as in desktop computer.

Thanks

Check virtual memory settings.
If you have disabled paging file, then you'll get various memory subsystem related errors.

Please show screenshot of the BSOD, you're getting.

I did checked my virtual page file settings, it is auto set by Windows I assume, so it is not disabled I take it, I just wanted to know if I ever get a bsod due to lack of ram space when game and firefox browser open at same time, didn't get any bsod yet (thank god) and if ever there is a warning pop up appears instead of sudden bsod. Thank you for the reply
