Constant Memory Errors

• Windows 8.1 64
• 4th generation Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4800MQ Processor
• NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) GT 740M Graphics with 2048MB of dedicated video memory

I just bought an HP Envy maybe a month or two ago and ever since I've had it, it has been giving me memory problems. Every time I try to play any game, an error pops up telling me that I should shut that program down because memory is low. This sometimes even happens when something like iTunes is playing in the background while I'm on Firefox. I'm not performing any demanding, out of the ordinary tasks and it's telling me that my RAM is low.
Today, I got a blue screen with an IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL error message and it shut my laptop down completely. This is the same error message I got on my last laptop. Supposedly, it's a memory issue. I checked the laptop after the blue screen and it was still cool to the touch. I checked the system information and it reads 8GB.
What is the issue? These are similar problems to what I had on my last computer, and that was a 5 year old Dell laptop.

Hi flicky0urbic
Welcome to the forum,, look like the problem is in the RAM, since you have warranty take it to the nearest HP service centre of your country...

Constant out of memory errors

I am consantly receiving out of memory errors in fcp 5.1. Now when rendering I have to split it up into sections to render so I dont get the error (eg - render 5 seconds of footage at a time)
My rendered files folder contains 203 files and I was wondering whether I could just delete all the files and then just re-render the project in one go - or will this just screw up the project?

If I delete all the rendered files, when I re-render will it make just the one render file? If so does this mean everytime I make a change in the project it will take longer to render as Final Cut will have to re-render the whole file?

Indesign cs5.5 out of memory error

Hi,
I am having constant problems with out of memory errors in indesign cs5.5 (version 7.5.3). I am on a mac. Everything is up to date, I have preflight off, my display performance is on typical view and have tried restarted my computer multiple times. I do not have any other programs open and the document I have open is 3 pages (8.5x11) with little content and a couple links to small images. I do not know what to do! This is affecting my job and my performance!! Please help!!! Thank you!

close the application
Rename the preferences from the following location
/Users/[User Name]/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign/Version #
/Users/[User Name]/Library/Caches/Adobe InDesign/Version [#]
then open a new document and then open the document you are facing an issue with it should clear the memory issue temporally
Alternate :
copy and paste the content in a new document and check if the 1st option does not work
PS : changing the folder name would reset the preferences
refer to KB : InDesign preferences and support file locations

Hi Rogier,
Can you please log it in our new public bug system:

It'd be great if you can provide more info to the bug e.g.
details of your simple AIR project, platform, FB version (Plugin or
Standalone).
thanks,

Error with ini files & Memory Error

Hi All,
I am attaching my VI which is used to save the control values, I am doing it with configuration file, but sometimes what happens my configuration file got erased completely,and my data got lost otherwise saving control values works perfectly fine, how can I stop this so my configuration data is safe. or is there any other method to save the control values.
2ndly, I have another error in a different vi which keeps coming (image is attached as "Memory Error"), I tried installing LV and XP again, changed the PC but problem persists.
Could someone please try to throw some light on these issues.
Thanks & Regards
James

Your Error2 image is not viewable. Looks like a corrupt upload.
Your fundamental problem lies in the first part of your code. If the INI file doesn't exist, then when you open it, a new one gets created. There is no SVALUE key, so you are trying to loop 0 times. Since the first for-loop does not execute, the INI file refnum does not get transferred through the tunnel, and subsequent INI file functions receive a null refnum. You need to either wire the refnum outside the loops or use shift registers for the refnum.
As to your code: OK...
You must really like whitespace, because that's the only reason I can see for having such a huge while loop that just sits there.
You really need to learn to draw straight wires.
You are jumping through unnecessary hoops. You are taking the control values, bundling them into a cluster, converting the cluster into an array, and then autoindexing the array while at the same time setting the "N" terminal of the for-loop. Whew!
Skip the bundling. Just make an array directly!
Do not wire both the "N" terminal of a for-loop and autoindex. Do one or the other. Since you have the array, just auto-index.
The Index Array function is resizable. You do not need to place 2 of them to get the 2 values.
Your string constants are in 2 places. You should have them in one place only. If you decide to change the names then you need to remember to change them in 2 places.

Virtual Memory Error when accessing store

I buy a lot from the store and I am unable to download or purchase since upgrading because of a constant virtual memory error popping up. This only occurs when I access the store. I have read trouble shooting procedures recommended by others on here but all have failed so far. I do know that it's not my system. I definitely hope this issue is remedied with an updated version soon.

I take it there is no current solution for this issue? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance, John

Ssh to Mac: periodic "out of memory" errors abort connection at login

I have a frequent, but not constant problem...
when I ssh to my Mac at home, from Linux boxes from work, and/or from my PC laptop (using putty), I often have to attempt to connect several times. The failing attempts ask for my password and seem to complete the login process.
But at the 1st command I enter at the shell prompt, I see the message
tcsh: out of memory
very briefly, and then the window closes itself, and poof no more ssh connection...
This seems to go in spurts, then one of the windows will be fine.
For a while, it seemed that doing a quick ls as my first command worked around the problem, but I'm finding that not to be the case while on this trip (with my laptop and putty).
I've done a pretty wide search and am coming up with very little on this.
Any ideas?
Again, sometimes it works, and ssh operates as expected. other time I can get several OOM errors in a row, before finally getting a working session. This is a not a new problem, has happened for at least a year, but seems to be worse lately.
Thanks,
Mike
Mini Duo Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Thanks, I'll give this a shot when I back in town this weekend...
in the meantime, I've played around some more.. commented out most of my .login/.cshrc etc, to see if there were any culprits..
over the ssh connection, if I try to change shells I can see the out of memory error sometimes, there, and the shell launch fails kicking back into the parent shell. When there is no "parent" shell, (original ssh login), the failure has no where to fall back to and the session terminates.
I do not recall ever seeing this from Terminal (at my mac itself).
So I guess that begs the question.. what is different about getting to a shell prompt from a remote ssh session vs. being there in person with Terminal?

A FIX for error message: When I try to open Snood (it's a game) I get this message. Not enough memory {Error # :: 0, in sound.cp@line 101 Can you help?

After years of playing Snood, w/o problems, I started getting this error message, on my iMac, OS 10.5.8,
with 4 GB of memory when opening Snood: Not enough memory {Error # :: 0, in sound.cp@line 101
My MacBook Pro w. Mac OS 10.6.8 did not have this problem.
Initially I thought that Snood raised its minimum requirement to Mac OS 10.6.
I had several correspondences with Snood. Their tech support is great. Quick and thorough responses.
They thought the issue was in Mac's system preferences/ Sound. It was.
I didn't realize that my sound input and output devices were gone.
The fix was resetting the PRAM. I found this advice on MacFixIt.com.
MacFixIt help with volume: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10415659-263.html
Resetting the PRAM is on Apple support: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
My sound (music!) is back, along with Snood. So glad I reset the PRAM before reinstalling the OS software!
Thank you to Snood, MacFixIt and Apple.
Happy new year all!

Good work, nice post/tip, thanks!

Acrobat XI Pro "Out of Memory" Error.

We just received a new Dell T7600 workstation (Win7, 64-bit, 64GB RAM, 8TB disk storage, and more processors than you can shake a stick at). We installed the Adobe CS6 Master Collection which had Acrobat Pro X. Each time we open a PDF of size greater than roughly 4MB, the program returns an "out of memory" error. After running updates, uninstalling and reinstalling (several times), I bought a copy of Acrobat XI Pro hoping this would solve the problem. Same problem still exists upon opening the larger PDFs. Our business depends on opening very large PDF files and we've paid for the Master Collection, so I'd rather not use an freeware PDF reader. Any help, thoughts, and/or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Chris

As mentioned, the TEMP folder is typically the problem. MS limits the size of this folder and you have 2 choices: 1. empty it or 2. increase the size limit. I am not positive this is the issue, but it does crop up at times. It does not matter how big your harddrive is, it is a matter of the amount of space that MS has allocated for virtual memory. I am surprised that there is an issue with 64GB of RAM, but MS is real good at letting you know you can't have it all for use because you might want to open up something else. That is why a lot of big packages turn off some of the limits of Windows or use Linux.

Acrobat XI Pro "Out of Memory" error after Office 2010 install

Good Afternoon,
We recently pushed Office 2010 to our users and are now getting reports of previous installs of Adobe Acrobat XI Pro no longer working but throwing "Out of Memory" errors.
We are in a Windows XP environment. All machines are HP 8440p/6930p/6910 with the same Service pack level (3) and all up to date on security patches.
All machines are running Office 2010 SP1.
All machines have 2GB or 4GB of RAM (Only 3.25GB recognized as we are a 32bit OS environment).
All machines have adequate free space (ranging from 50gb to 200gb of free space).
All machines are set to 4096mb initial page file size with 8192mb maximum page file size.
All machines with Acrobat XI Pro *DO NOT* have Reader XI installed alongside. If Reader is installed, it is Reader 10.1 or higher.
The following troubleshooting steps have been taken:
Verify page file size (4096mb - 8192mb).
Deleted local user and Windows temp files (%temp% and c:\WINDOWS\Temp both emptied).
Repair on Adobe Acrobat XI Pro install. No change.
Uninstall Acrobat Pro XI, reboot, re-install. No change.
Uninstall Acrobat Pro XI Pro along with *ALL* other Adobe applications presently installed (Flash Player, Air), delete all Adobe folders and files found in a full search of the C drive, delete all orphaned Registry entries for all Adobe products, re-empty all temp folders, reboot.
Re-install Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. No change.
Disable enhanced security in Acrobat XI Pro. No change.
Renamed Acrobat XI's plug_ins folder to plug_ins.old.
You *can* get Acrobat to open once this is done but when you attempt to edit a file or enter data into a form, you get the message, "The "Updater" plug-in has been removed. Please re-install Acrobat to continue viewing the current file."
A repair on the Office 2010 install and re-installing Office 2010 also had no effect.
At this point, short of re-imaging the machines (which is *not* an option), we are stumped.
We have not yet tried rolling back a user to Office 2007 as the upgrade initiative is enterprise-wide and rolling back would not be considered a solution.
Anyone have any ideas beyond what has been tried so far?

Memory Error Neo2 Pt 4*512 DDR 400 or even 333

Ok, this board has started giving me a lot of problems. 1 week ago all was fine, and suddenly I started getting BSODs. Last friday the computer shut off after a BSOD, while I was just browsing the internet.
Affter that it failed to start and gave a BSOD on every boot.
Then it started automatically again. And woked well.
On sat the system wont start and gave long beeps, indiicating memory error.
4*512 Ballistix default spd.
so I reset my BIOS, upgraded bios to 1.A ballistix edition, as syar suggested.
Computer ran well / rebooted well.
but when I did a cold start sunday morning I got long beeps again. Even resetting the BIOS did help. Got long beeps.
I took 1 module out and the system started well. went into the bios and manually set bus to 333 rather than 400, default spd timings.
Computer started well. I put the 4th module back in, and all worked well till I did a cold boot today, and back to continuos beeps.
Now the only way the computer works if I just use 2 memory modules.
I tried manual voltage, manual timings, spd timings, timings on crucial's site, voltage on crucials site. No luck.
currently i am on 2*512 dimm 1-2, default spd and voltage and system seems to work.
whats the prob ? Is my memory bad, which I am not too sure off, bcos I tried running 2 modules at a time from the 4 matched pair, and tey seem to work.
Only the all 4 wont work, and 3 in also gives problem.
is this motherboard messed up ?
bcos I am really thinking of switching to a diff platform as since day 1, less than 1 month ago, this mobo is giving me probs with X2 dual core.

https://mywebspace.wisc.edu/phora/web/cpuz.htm
Alright, I updated the BIOS to the latest beta, modded by side effect.
put back the 4 modules in, and they are running now
2-2-2-7 DDR 400 2.8V
though the HT is 3x unlike all previos times when it was 5x...anything to do with the probs ?
anyways, I still dont know how long this config will last, for I have has successful bootups in the past, but they end up failing later.

RoboHelp 9 gives an out of memory error and crashes when I try to import or link a Frame 10 file or

I have Tech Suite 3. If I start a new RoboHelp project and try to import or link Frame files, RoboHelp tries for a while, then I get an Out of Memory error and the program crashes.
I opened one of the sample projects and was able to link to one of my frame files without any problem, so it seems to be an issue with creating something new.
Any suggestions?

It happens when I create a new project and then try to import or link frame docs to make up the content. It starts scanning, then crashes. I did get it to the conversion setting page once, but no further.
It does not happen if I open one of the supplied example projects and link a file. But then it doesn't let me choose, during import, any style mapping. And I can't delete the sample project fold
Twice now it has told me when I tried to import (not link, but import) that my .fm file could not be opened, and told me to verify that Frame is installed (it is) and that the file is a valid frame file (it is).
The docs and project are in separate folders on my C: drive.

Low memory errors.

When I ty to play Destination Treasure Island I get a low memory error message. Is this bad? Could my iPad be bad? If I reboot the iPad it starts and lays but I haven't played for hours at a stretch yet either.
Should I be concerned?
Thanks.

Multi-tasking happens in 4.2, it's not something that can be switched on/off (which not everyone likes). The only thing that you can do is go into the task bar (double-click the home button) and close other apps manually (press and hold one of them until they start to shake, then press the '-' in their top left corenr; press home, or touch the non-taskbar part of the screen when finished closing them). The task bar shows recently used apps as well as those that are running, so even if an app appears there it doesn't necessarily mean that it is active.

Low memory error message - shut down app

Memory Error in Bridge while running a script with multiple moveTo()'s.

I have written a script to create folders based on the names of assets in the parent folder, then move the assets with matching names into the appropriate folders. The script runs perfectly up to somewhere between 1,000 to 1,500 images moved and then I receive a memory error from Bridge.
I have been running this on folders with an excess of 25,000 assets in them. My work around was to put a simple counter in the script to let me know when 1,000 assets had been moved, throw up an alert, and then I would view the Task Manager to let me know when the CPU usage had dropped below 50% and would ok the alert, then it would run the next 1000 assets.
My question, is it possible in scripting to monitor your memory usage to allow a pause in the script so Bridge processing can catch up?

Don't do that!
$.sleep() doesn't "sleep". ExtendScript is not multi-threaded. $.sleep just waits on the $.sleep() command to execute. It actually blocks all processing rather than free up the processor to do things like garbage collection.
First try the $.gc() command. To my knowledge there is no way to track ES' memory usage.
If that doesn't work, try scheduling a task...
Let's say that you find that after 1000 moves, it takes 60 seconds for the processor to cool off:
doAThousandMoves = function() {
// execute 1000 moves
app.scheduleTask( "doAThousandMoves()", 60000, true );
The way I would actually code this is to scan the folder tree and create a global array that contained all of the files to be moved.
I would then move them 1 at a time, shifting them off the array. Something like this:
var mover = {}; // global object declaration
mover.init = function() {
mover.files = new Array();
// fill mover files with the file objects to be moved.
app.scheduleTask( "mover.move()", 10 );
mover.move = function() {
var i = 0;
while ( i++ < 1000 ) {
file = mover.files.shift();
// move file
if ( mover.files.length > 0 ) {
app.scheduleTask( "mover.move()", 60000 );
In fact, you should probably break this into chunks of about 10 or so at a time (you can reduce the gap between calls). Doing so will make the operation appear to be running as a background process.
