Low Memory HP Touch

I bought this notebook last June 2014.
Soon after, I started downloading stuff (like apps, videos, pdfs and such).
However, after some time a screen would pop up and then inform me that my computer was low on memory. But the strange thing is there were no apps running. When I looked up in the task manager, the memory usage was about 94-100%. I've tried a couple of things with it. Although some of it would work for a while, eventually the problem comes back.
And recently there has also been a problem with Microsoft Word 2010. It says that it won't open because I don't have a license. It worked properly before for about 6 months.
I guess it might have been my lousy way of taking care of my laptop. Could you give me some advice on this matter? I don't really think a laggy laptop will be of any use to me.
Here are some specs:
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-3110M CPU @ 2.40GHz
RAM: 4.oo GB (3.89 GB Usable)
System Type: 64 bit
Pen and Touch: Full Windows Touch Support with 10 Touch Points
I don't know what other information is needed. I'm not good with taking care of laptops...
I hope you can help me...

Hi @the_artisan_cit
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you are having some memory issues with your notebook.
Firstly, please post the full product number for your notebook. See the following, if you need help in finding that.
How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Clearly from the information you provided the system is using all the memory. The cause of this is that too many applications are running simultaneously. this will result in slow performance, and other issues like the memory error you have described. It is possible that some of these applications may not be things you really need, or may have been accidentally installed, or could even be "hostile" applications from the internet, such as malware, or virus types of "infections".
With that in mind I think the best bet would be for you to try out this first page, to fine tune your system, and see if it helps.
Resolving slow system performance (Windows 8)
After that, look through these more security related documents, although the previous one covers some of it too, this is some extra information.

Let me know if that helps.

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.

TS1702 How to fix low memory issues when restarting iPod doesn't work?

I am having trouble with several apps ceasing and my on screen keyboard having serious delays, it appears to be low memory.

Once you get to the sliding bottom row you touch and hold any app until they all start to wiggle. Then tap circled minus sign by all the app the "delete" them. Then click the home button to get back to normal. Then power off by depressing and holding the Power button until you get the slide to power off slider. Slide that slider. The turn on the iPod

[HELP ]unexpected low memory usage

Hi all,
Could someone help me out with unexpected low memory usage I am facing when I start the DB instance.
I am running Oracle 8.1.7.3.2 on Windows 2000 Adv Srv with
2GB of RAM and 3GB of swap area.
I only have 1 instance with memory related init parameters setted as below.
shared_pool_size = 293510451
large_pool_size = 104857600
java_pool_size = 20971520
db_block_buffers = 107289
sort_area_size = 1048576
avg of about 150~250session so I was expecting the oracle
to allocate about 1.5GB of RAM when the instance startsup
Now, when I startup the instance, EXPECTING the oracle to
allocate about 1.5GB of RAM for himself, and check the
memory allocation status from the "task manager", it
shows that 1.4GB of physical memory is AVAILABLE. In another words, the whole system is only using 600MB of
physical memory.
Could anyone tell why this is happening and the solution to solve this problem?
BTW, even if I give loads to oracle using the Mercury LoadRunner, the memory allocation status does not change much while oracle is barely processing each transactions.
Thanks, in advance

I work mostly with UNIX but found the following from Metalink document# 46001.1 Oracle Database and the Windows NT memory architecture, Technical Bulletin. I think this answers your question:
On starting up an Oracle instance all global memory pages are reserved and committed (Total Shared Global Area, Buffer Cache and Redo Buffers). Only a small number of these memory pages are touched on startup and are thus not in Oracle's working set, as more pages are touched they will be brought into memory. Oracle must contend equally with other processes and will have its working set trimmed if other processes are faulting at a greater rate.
It is unlikely that this trimming will be desirable, especially when the database has a varying workload (high and low usage periods). Two registry parameters exist to allow the administrator to manipulate the working set bounds of the Oracle process, these are :
- ORA_WORKINGSETMIN or ORA_%SID%_WORKINGSETMIN
: Minimum working set for the ORACLE.EXE process (units = MB)
- ORA_WORKINGSETMAX or ORA_%SID%_WORKINGSETMAX
: Maximum working set for the ORACLE.EXE process (units = MB)
These parameters apply to all releases from 7.3.x and should be added to the Long postings are being truncated to ~1 kB at this time.

Several times over the last few days while on safari my iPad spontaneously shuts off screen goes dark then goes to home screen what's going on and how do I fix it when I look at settings diagnostics it says that there is low memory ?

Safari crashes several times while on pinterest, screen goes black then goes to home screen when I start safari again it keeps doing the same thing. I checked the diagnostics page and there are several references stating low memory yet when I check the memory on the iPad there is plenty of memory help please

The memory that is low is the processor memory, not the overall storage space. Next time, before you go to that site, double tap the home button to see the task bar. You will see the list of apps siting in the recently used list. Most of them are not doing anything, but some of them are using up memory. Touch and hold any one of them until they jiggle, then close them all off by touching the minus sign.
Do that every so often to help the pad use it's memory wisely.
Some apps, and browser pages use a lot of memory, and do not give it back easily, causing what sis happening to you.
You can also get a similar result by rebooting. Press and hold the home and sleep buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider.

Powerbook Lower Memory Slot Issue, what are my options?

Hi there,
I have a Powerbook G4 1.5ghz that I purchased in October of 2004. I had no problems with it until after upgrading the RAM to 2 x 512mb chips and then installing Tiger which resulted in me later notcing the missing RAM and learning about the lower memory slot failure issue.
I find that sometimes if I remove the RAM and try and power it up and then replace the RAM again that the lower slot ocassionaly does come back. Trouble is though that the machine will either crash or I loose the other RAM slot when I have to shut it down. It seems to be so intermittent this way and I'm tired of constantly removing the RAM to fiddle about with it.
My serial number begins W8441, so it isn't covered by the returns programe. I would call Apple Support, but I am put off by a £35 charge just to have them discuss and diagnose the problem.
I'm in the UK and as I don't have Applecare and I'm not elgiable for the returns programe can anyone tell me what they charge for a logic board replacment? Looking at what they charge in the US, it's not cheap.
I use my Powebook for Final Cut Pro, DVD Studio Pro, After Effects mainly and I had been alright with 1gig when it was working.
I'm really trying to decide what the best thing to do is....
- Do I pay for the logic board replacement, which I'm not really sure I can afford right now, or to be without my machine... especially as I have read that it can just fail again.
- Should I just buy a 1gig stick for the upper slot and try and sell my old RAM, as that would be cheaper than getting the logic board replaced?
It's a real shame that Apple doesn't seem to want to ackowledge that this effects other users as I'd been so impressed with everything about Apple up until now.
Thanks for any advice.

(Browse down for findings and questions).
The notorious lower-memory-slot-bug has hit my finally too... I never believed it until now (and I've immediately signed the petition).
I am outside warranty and I never bought Applecare either.
Also my powerbook, a very dear machine to me, is a less common type to have this problem: a 1 GHz G4 15" FireWire 800 OS 10.3.9 type. Funny enough my older powerbook ( a G3 Bronze) is still running strong with no problems whatsoever.
My G4 15" also has the "white spots" problem and a dead superdrive... I cannot believe how many hardware problems I'm having with this machine in comparison to all my older macs - even my sluggish powerMac 7200/90 never gave me this many headaches...
Alright, I'll stop complaining for now.
I've been able to browse the internet on this and found the following statements:
The lower memory slot gets "fried" because of a OS 10.3.9 upgrade,
or possibly due to overheating when the powerbook is put on the users' lap,
or possibly due to picking the powerbook up by the corners so the metal gets bent.
+ I have only seen one case where someone's UPPER memory slot was defective.
The solution to this problem (replacing the logic board) didn't seem to be definate in many cases so I'm reluctant to try this myself (and I have very little money). The alternative (replacing the upper slot memory with a bigger type of RAM) seems a bit scary to me,
because I wonder:
-will the upper memory slot RAM get "fried" eventually as well after a while?
-do you need to have something installed in the lower slot or is it possible to just install one RAM card only?
-are there more people with a 1 GHz PB that have this problem? It seems it's mostly people with a 1,67 GHz that have been bitten by this bug and maybe that's why Apple decided to give the majority a free repair. I am not sure whether that is a common policy, I am part of the minority it seems.
As a solutions someone posted on a board that we should all buy KTA-PBG4333/1G RAM, but here in Dutch stores it is said this memory is only compatible with 17" powerbooks....
Does anyone know if it is suitable for 15" as well??

Low memory problem in nokia c5-03

I wanted to install the Viber application for Nokia on my phone. But the memory is low and a message is displayed "Low memory on C". I have deleted all my messages and images are also not present. I have checked the phone memory the total size of the contents is 21.3 kb. I have a phone memory of 75.4 MB, but the free space is just 2.99MB. There are about 30 MB SIS applications and 42MB 0f Other files. Can i delete these files??
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Memory Full: Delete or remove some data from C: Phone memory"
The phone notifies you if the phone memory or memory card memory is getting low. There can be different error messages shown this situation, e.g.:
"Memory Full: Delete or remove some data from C: Phone memory"
"Disk Full : Automatic retrieval of mailbox for exchange disabled"
To free phone memory, transfer some data to the memory card with the File mgr application (select Menu > Applications > File mgr.). Select or mark files to be moved, select Options > Organise > Move to folder and then the destination folder.
In order to free memory, you could also remove or move the following:
Messages from Inbox, Drafts and Sent folders in Messaging.
Retrieved e-mail messages from the phone memory.
Saved Web pages. Clear the web browser cache to free some memory (select Options > Clear privacy data > Cache).
Saved images, videos, or sound files.
Contact information.
Calendar notes.
Downloaded application packages.
If there are applications which are not needed any more, uninstall them (select Menu > Settings > Data mgr. > App.mgr. > Installed apps.).
Any other data that you no longer need
If possible, use the memory card instead of phone memory in the Camera application (select Options > Settings > Memory in use to define the memory where the images are stored). You can also use Nokia Suite to transfer images and video clips to your PC.
If you are deleting multiple items and any of the following notes are shown: Not enough memory to perform operation. Delete some data first or Memory low. Delete some data, try deleting items one by one (starting from the smallest item).
LAST OPTION Is hard reset TYPE in *#7370# code os 12345 if asked.

I want to ask something about firefox. why firefox use very much memory? can you develop to reduce memory comsume? this problem is very distrub in my PC with low memory.

I want to ask something about firefox.
why firefox use very much memory?
can you develop to reduce memory comsume?
this problem is very distrub in my PC with low memory.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

How much memory is Firefox using right now?
# Press '''CTRL+SHIFT+ESC''' to load the Task Manager window
# Click the Processes tab at the top. (Click once near the top of the window if you don't see tab
# Find firefox.exe, and see how many kilobytes of memory it's using.
Showing around 80MB when Firefox first starts is normal. Right now, I have 75 tabs open and it's using 500MB - this varies a lot depending on what you have in the tabs.
Other than high memory usage, what other problems are you experiencing? (Examples include slowness, high CPU usage, and failure to load certain sites)
Many of these issues, including high memory usage, can be caused by misbehaving add-ons. To see if this is the case, try the steps at [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]. Outdated plugins are another cause of this issue - you can check for this at http://www.mozilla.com/plugincheck

Low Memory Environment Render Issues...

Howdy folks,
     I've been working on a 13 minute promotional video for a non-profit summer camp. It is made up of mostly still images with some ken burns effects, a narration track, a music track, some titles, and some logo overlays.
     I am doing this on a 3.2 Ghz P4 with only 1.5G ram under XP sp3. I realize this is not an ideal PPro box.
     Windows XP is configured to use 2 drives for VM paging (3Gigs each). All drives have over 100gigs of free space on them.
     Now until recently I've only had a couple of small issues which I suspected were related to trying to do this in a low memory environment. In one case a flash render would die at the same point every time (error was something along the lines of "did not return a valid frame"), and simply scaling down the still image clip at that point in the sequence so that it was closer to the project size took care of it. That method also helped in a few cases where some images would not render at all, and just appeared as black screens in the final video (the render process did not fail, but the end result was missing clips).
     Then there was one case it seemed to fail at random points. A simple reboot took care of that, and it exported just fine.
     But now, however..... Now it's back to failing at random points (sometimes it gets 3500 frames in... sometimes as far as 13400... or anywhere in between) and additionally, by viewing the incomplete flash video file with VLC (which I need to do in order to find out where it failed because PPro never tells me) I find that some of the images are black screens, as before.
     The problem now, is that it's never the same point of failure, and it's never the same images blacked out. And rebooting and or killing off extra processes does not help.
     Now this was rendering fine last week. Here's the kicker - I haven't changed much of anything since then. The project is still the same length, with just about the same number of cuts, tracks, and assets used. The only things I've done since then are:
     1) I duplicated the sequence so that I can make some changes unique to the web-version of the video, and still save the old sequence to go back to. The old sequence has remained untouched and I haven't even looked at it since then.
     2) Created 2 new titles and inserted them in place of some old ones in the new sequence which weren't appropriate for the web version of the video (only the text is different in these new titles... they are the same style, size, etc. as the old ones they replaced)
     3) I shortened some empty time/space/pauses between sections of the sequence.
     So those are all minor changes... but I can't shake the rendering issue no matter how many times I restart or scale down an image that was blacked out or appears at one of the random points of outright failure (again, with the "did not return a valid frame" issue).
     I did notice that after I duplicated the original sequence, the project takes much longer to open. Does having another sequence present in the asset bin use that much more resources? Even if the clips in that 2nd sequence use the same assets as another? I'm tempted to remove the original sequence and see what happens, but I don't want to lose it and have to un-edit the web version whenever I want to go back and re-render the DVD version.
     So basically I'm looking for anything that might cause the small changes I made to be giving me so much grief now.
     Any input is appreciated. Thanks.

You may have a corrupt project. Try creating a new project and importing the old one into it.
If you still experience problems then carefully do each of these troubleshooting tips. One or more of them is likely to help.

Low memory on iPad 2

The diagnostics of my iPad 2 says that my iPad has low memory.however I have 21.5 GB available. Please help. Thanks

I had this same issue with the new ipad, I kept getting logs generated that stated low memory. I am not aware of any problems or issues this created, it was just sort of an informational warning not that there was anything wrong. To “fix” it I just closed all the apps still in memory by double clicking the home button, holding your finger on one of the apps in the bottom window until they shake then hit the x to close them out of memory.

Low Memory Warning

I started a new app today and got the following message:
Low Memory Warning
Air Harp has detected your device is
low on memory. If a problem occurs
please restart your device.
No problem occurred. I think Stanza may have been using memory - I really don't know how to tell what's using memory.
How do I tell what needs to be shut down?

Pharmer,
Looks to me as though you don't enough enough physical RAM to run as many processes as you currently are. 2GB of RAM is pretty low these days. Do me a favor and -- click Start -- Type
MSconfig in the search bar and press enter -- Click the
startup tab and see how many programs are checked to start on bootup. You can uncheck ones that you don't need running all the time. That should free up some memory to keep you going for a bit. But a permanent fix would be to increase your
physical RAM.
EDIT: Switching to basic desktop will reduce the amount of RAM needed to run Windows, which is why you haven't gotten the problem since.
