Computer Game Memory usage?
115245
Well a couple things come to mind when you say that, The first thing that I think of, is since your playing a game, and you said you had a very powerful computer, I'm assuming your run of the top of the line games of today like battlefield 2, my guess would be that the game isnt releasing the memory that its holding, or maybe not even exiting correctly when you exit it. I really doubt it would have anything to do with your computer hardware, but I would try updating the game to the most current version, updating your operating system with the current bug fixes, and making sure your drivers are up to date (it never hurts to check those out). If the problem continues, I would to to the software manufcatures website, and check the help section there.

There are memory optimizer type programs for computers. Try Tune-Up Utilities 2006 (free 30 day trial) It has a memory optimization section in there.\nhttp://www.tune-up.com/\nfree to try for 30 days, great program. \nRAM is pretty dirt cheap now, easier to just put some more in.

.      Check all your drivers to see if any need updating.\n\nSet  windows to manage virtual memory . ("system managed size")\nStart/Control Panel/Performance and Maintenance/System/Advanced tab/Performance, Settings button/Advanced tab/Virtual Memory, Change button/bullet System Managed Size.\nhttp://www.aumha.org/win5/kbestop.htm\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/reskit/en-us/prmd_stp_ccgm.asp\nhttp://support.microsoft.com/?id=817197\nhttp://kadaitcha.cx/0x50_error.html\n\nPage_Fault_In_Nonpaged_Area  may  indicate you have some bad memory.   You can test your ram with these: =     http://www.memtest86.com

Sounds like a good system. You might want to go into your task manager like the above people were saying and check not only if there are lingering tasks running from your game, but, check what all you are running period. In WinXP SP2, you should have less than 30 processes running.\nFrom what you've said, I would expect the problem to be either memory leaks from poor clean-up process with the game or your page file is having issues.\n-When you go into your Task Manager, click on the Performance Tab. On the bottom left, take a look at the Commit Charge info. If the 'Peak' is significantly more than twice the physical ram, you might want to look into adding more ram.\nYou mentioned the 250 Gb Drive. Do you have any other drives?\nA significant speed increase can be realized by utilizing multiple hard drives. A small one for your Operating System.  A fast, small drive for your Paging File and Printer Spooler. And data drive for your music, games, etc.\nSee the link below regarding moving the paging file to an alternate drive.\n\nIf it ends up simply being your game's ram cleanup, the only thing you can really do is reboot after gameplay. It might be inconvenient, if you're lucky, it will be addressed with a patch from the game's website. >I might suggest emailing support for the game just to see if they have a suggested configuration for your system<

When you use your computer there's a certain order where programs are stored.  First it's stored in RAM then it's stored in virtual RAM (basically your hard drive).  When you run out of virtual RAM, it has to shuttle programs in and out of both RAM to keep up and this will dramatically downgrade your performance.\n\nIf you're using alot of programs at the same time when the message comes up, try not to open so many applications at the same time or try to identify which one is using the most RAM.  If you have Windows 2000/XP, right click on the taskbar and click on Task Manager.  It'll show some memory usage of programs that are open.\n\nIf you're not using alot of programs at the same time when the message comes up, it sounds like you don't have alot of RAM to support what you want to do.  Adding more RAM would help get rid of the message but it will cost money to do that.

Sounds like your having a RAM problem, You could try adjusting the games you are playing, so that they don't use up so much of the memory in 1 whack, other than that, unless you install more ram then ye can't play yer games\n\nR3dm0

To how much memory your *video card* has in Windows, go to Control Panel, Display, then the Settings tab. There should be a button labelled "Advanced". Click on it, and then go to the "Adapter" tab in the window that pops up. That should tell you how much RAM your video card has.

Based on my own experience, I don't believe RAM usage is the problem.\n\nIf your computer is actually spontaneously powering off, the problem is most likely that your computer's power supply cannot meet your hardware's power requirements.  I would suggest you have a professional replace your power supply with one that supplies at least 430W.\n\nTo answer the question you asked, however, what you can do to minimize RAM usage is use the System Configuration Utility to disable Startup Items from loading.\n\nTo do this, click Start -> Run, type:\nmsconfig\nand click OK.  Click Selective Startup, uncheck the Load Startup Items box, and click OK.  Let it restart your computer when it asks to do so.\n\nOn restart, it will remind you that you used the System Configuration Utility to change your startup.  Just click OK.  Then start your game.\n\nNote that it is not unusual for a game to max out your system resources -- the more RAM it has the better it will typically perform.\n\nAlso note that using this method *may* prevent your antivirus from loading.  If this is the case, you need to make sure that all you do, while your system is configured this way, is play your game.\n\nTo return your system back to its normal configuration, follow the instructions above to get back into the System Configuration Utility, click Normal Startup and then click OK.  Let it restart the system when it prompts you to do so.

It means you need more empty space on your hard drive to play the game properly. Computers use something called "Virtual Memory", which means that when the program needs to use more RAM than it has available, it starts using the harddrive for extra storage. This hard drive virtual memory is sometimes called a Swap Space (since the operating system swaps data between it and actual memory). To fix the problem you need to erase enough things from your hard drive so that you have more than 240 MB free hard drive space. \n\nIf you really can't find anything to delete, and you're using Windows, you can get more space by opening a windows explorer window for My Computer, right clicking on the C drive and choosing "Properties" from the little menu. You should see a button saying "Disk Cleanup", this will make the system erase temporary data and things like that from the hard drive to give you more free space. Beware though, as you use your computer for things, this temporary data will start building up again, so you can't really rely on this to fix your problem for good...

Here's a few things you might want to think about:\n\nPress {windows} and {pause break} and see if it's reporting your full memory amount.  \n\nWatch the performance tab in task manager and watch your memory usage as you copy and paste.\n\nAre you managing your swap file manually or do you let Windows do it?  \n\nAlso, try running memtest to check your memory for errors:\n\nhttp://hcidesign.com/memtest/MemTest.zip

delete some of your big programs. they might be taking up too much memory space.

Unless the operating system is DOS, it's probably using up those 15GB.  I just bought a new computer with Windows and some programs already installed and all that takes up 15.5GB.

delete the stuff that you dont need\ndefragment (start > program files > accessories > system toold > system defragmenter)\nupgrade your memory to a faster one

I assume you've updated all fixes and patches, and are still getting either a divide by zero or insufficient memory error.\n\nHave you tried rightclicking the icon and tinkering with the compatability settings. Sometimes that does the trick.

its simply cuz u need more memory.\nfirst, delete all your unused files (not system) an ask your local computer technician to sell u some extra memory for running.

I need more info to answer this question for you.\n\nAre you referring to hard disk space?

if you have 64MB ram you seriously need to put more in fella! Jeepers what are you using an old BBC schools comp?\nAnyway in answer to your Q you have enough me to do that!
