"Your computer is low on memory" with 8GB DDR3

[RulesSpew]

Hey,

So recently I got a new laptop (GS70 Stealth Pro) with 8GB of ram. After every game I get a message that says *Computer is low on memory, please close application to prevent data loss or something...I check my task bar and saw that 4GB of RAM is free...Also that 1 of 2 ram dims is used. Here are some pictures.

Run memtest and make sure you don't have an issue with one of the memory modules (Dimms). Best option is to download the USB boot loader. Memtest can be found here:

I would advise that you update your graphics card or adapter drivers as well. If that doesn't work we'll go from there.

Hey,
I did it before and it shows both dimms. Drivers for GPU is updated ( from today on). I've searched on inernet what could be the prob and people wrote about * gpedit.msc but that one didn't worked:/

My mistake...There's just one ram dimm in the laptop :/!

which sub-model of the GS70 stealth Pro do you have because there are several and they all seem to have different specs?

Have you removed or installed the memory module at any point?

Did you buy this unit used or new? Make sure the paging file is enabled by going into control panel, system, advanced system settings, clicking the settings button under performance, clicking on the advanced tab, click "change" under virtual memory and then make sure that automatically manage paging file for all drives is checked. Click ok until you're out of there and reboot. See what happens and let me know.

Also, could you download Belarc advisor and install it. Run the program and take a screenshot of all the information in the window except personal stuff if any like ip address etc. Once you've done that can you post screenshots of all the information that is presented. It may be an application causing this but I need to see what add ons and browser extras there may be as well as other system info.

Sorry for delayed reply...
I haven't done anything to it, it's brand new
