Qosmio X300 - Low on memory error message

Out of the blue I am getting memory problems with my X300. I have changed the virtual memory and paging size to various settings but still getting the following message and my computer freezes.
"Your computer is low on memory close all applications".
I have 4GB RAM only thing I can think of is the memory has been unseated when I have been carting my laptop on holidays?
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi christene,
Are the whole 4GB RAM recognized in BIOS properly?
Theoretically it could be also a software issue of Windows. Maybe you have a virus on it and nobody knows how much programs you are start.
Have you tried a system restore to an earlier point?

  • Dreaded low on memory error message, Fireworks C3

    I'm on a mac, PB G4, 1.5 gb RAM. I just upgraded to CS3 and
    now after working for several hours, I am getting that error
    message.
    I've deleted the caches. Restarted. Deleted Fireworks Cs3 in
    application support. Run a disck utility. Restarted. Only had two
    apps running, DWCS3 and FWCS3. Turned off the saving preview icons
    in General Preferences.
    This happens when I try to open a small image, from within
    DW. The image is only 600 px wide, image is only 11kb.
    does anyone have a reccommendation?

  • Adobe X Pro 10.1.10 Out of Memory error message

    Hello One, Hello All
    Since updating our Adobe X Pro machines to version update 10.1.10, we occasionally receive an "Out of Memory" error message, which depending on what we are doing, may force us to shutdown all Adobe windows and re-open Adobe, or simply click OK and continue working with the PDF document like nothing is wrong. It seems to have no rhyme or reason to when or why it occurs. I do not see any warnings or errors in the Windows Event Log. It happens with files we have created, and also happens with files received from internal and external sources through email. It is affecting our high end machines: Lenovo X Series and W Series laptops with Windows 8.1 3rd/4th gen i5 CPUs, 8+GB RAM, 128+GB SSD's. We have all system and Windows updates applied. We have Trend Micro and Malwarebytes real-time protection and system scans do not find any malware.
    I have found a few other recent threads on Adobe forum related to this error message but the responses are weak at best with no definitive fix. The system and user temp folders size are less than 100MB each so this cannot be the issue. When the error occurs I check task manager and system utilization, including memory, is well below 100%.
    We did not have this issue prior to version update 10.1.10.
    Really hoping Adobe can step in to help here and hoping boilerplate responses are not used.

    Hi wayne103,
    We released a new security update yesterday that is v10.1.11
    Please update to this version and check the performance.
    I have seen this error message occur while opening a 3rd party created pdf that has corrupted file structure.
    Please let me know if the issue occurs for some specific files or random
    Also let me know the PDF producer for these pdfs.

  • "Insufficient Memory" error message

    I got “Insufficient Memory” error messages in working on the job needed large files ( > 100MB) with AI 5.5 in office with below #1 PC spec. Error message starts to happen after working 15min to 1 hour depends on the file. I need to restart computer in each “Insufficient Memory” error message pop-up (otherwise the messages will continue to pop-up). Sometimes the file can’t be saved after the error message occurred.
    I have never encountered this memory issue at my home with below #2 Mac spec.
    #1 PC spec looks better than #2 Mac spec. Why PC can’t perform like Mac does? 
    Do you have any solution to fix the “insufficient Memory” issue in  #1 PC spec?

  • Low on memory error in PPCC

    Never had a problem before. But just in the last two weeks, PPCC crashes with this low on memory error. The PC itself still runs like a speed demon on everything else but PPCC.
    Checked for hard drive and cache issues, everything I could think of. It is not the PC. I may need to check settings on PPCC itself. Maybe something odd happened.
    Anyone who is good at this stuff, your help would be appreciated.

  • AE uses huge amount of memory (computer low on memory error)

    I'm not sure if its just me, but After Effects seems to use a huge amount of memory.
    I'm not doing anything fancy:
    I have a b/w image (2478*774) which I opened in AE. I created a comp (25 frames) with the same dimensions of the image.
    On my timeline I have:
    The image with one mask revealing the image from left to right.
    A white solid with 4 masks (duplicated from the image). I use this layer only to create an edge on the part where the image will be revealed by its own mask.
    According to my Windows Task Manager, AE starts out using 250k of RAM. But after working on my image as described above, after 20 / 30 minutes or so my AE uses about 9gb of RAM, showing a "Computer low on memory" error.
    I can use "Purge > All Memory" and this will give me 20 minutes extra before running out of memory again.
    Now I have upgraded from CS4 to CC just a few weeks ago and haven't used AE a lot since then, but somehow I do not believe this is normal behavior?
    I am sure my memory isn't broken. I do a lot of heavy productions using 3D Studio Max without problems, and this problem never occurred to me on CS4.
    I am working on Windows 7 with 16gb of RAM.
    I have upgraded CC to the latest version (13,2).

    Here is the screenshot.
    I do have SP1 installed.

    Attempted solutions:
    -I created a new User Account and I can download large files with no issues.

    Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
    This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not  going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • InDesign CC Out of Memory Error message problem

    I am getting an Out of Memory Error message in InDesign CC and it is crashing. Very unusual and not a particularly lage file. Contains a few PDFs and crashes tend to be when scrolling- is it a screen redraw problem?

    Does it have an SSD or conventional hard drive? How much free space?
    For testing you should create and log into a new user account and see if the problem persists. That will narrow the possibilities to either user-related or document/application/system problems of some sort. Is this happening frequently? More than the one file? If it's just the one, try this: Remove minor corruption by exporting

  • "out of memory error" message when not out of memory

    I've gotten this message before (as have others) when I'm clearly not out of memory. It's been about a year since this happened last, and I can't remember how I solved it. It seems many others have had this problem and that there has been no simple solution. It occured when I was trying to revise some titles over an imported .mov image which was downloaded from the internet. I revised the titles, but they wouldn't render. Then I got the "out of memory" error message. So far I have:
    1) Logged out and logged back in
    2) Rebooted
    3) Pasted my sequence into a new sequence
    4) Saved the project as a new project
    None of these things have worked. Of course this all happens when I'm at the very end of the project with a deadline of tomorrow.

    I'm having the same problem. I searched "out of memory" and found this solution on another thread..
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1162802&#1162802
    However, it didn't help me and I am still looking for an answer. I am running FCP HD 4.5 and Avid Express Pro. I edidted together an 18 min video w music, no effects and exported it as a reference movie. Imported to FCP to add chapter markers and that's when I get the "General Error Out of Memory" Tried the make clip offline thing, but that didn't work. Tried exporting a different video from Avid, 3 min and that worked (with chapter marks).
    Anyway, I feel your pain. If you find a solution, please mark this thread "question answered"

  • I have a new hp 2050 printer and received a 10.0000 supply memory error message. what does this mean

    I have a new hp 2050 printer and received a 10.0000 supply memory error message. Can anyone tell me what this means and how to fix it?

    mickeymackey, this error looks similar to a related error code that I found for laserjets. Here is a summation of that error code:
    http://goo.gl/W7dP6
    This describes the problem as being a cartridge error, in which case I would follow the instructions in this document and see if that resolves the issue:
    http://goo.gl/h6hWz
    that does not resolve the issue, then I would recommend performing a hard reset of the printer. This would involve unplugging the printer for thirty seconds from both the back of the unit as well as from the outlet it is plugged into and then plugging the machine back in and powering it on.
    A few additional questions are: Is this printer plugged into a surge protector, wall outlet or battery backup? The ink you are using, are they original HP cartriges or have they been refilled before?
    Let me know!

  • Unable to create titles, getting "Out of memory" error message

    I am editing a project on FCE 2.0.3.
    I recently re-opened the project after about a year. It is stored on a 500GB external firewire hard-drive. I am working on a Mac G5 Powermac 7.2 with OS 10.4.11 with 1GB of RAM. I have my system settings on FCE set at 100% for memory usage and still cache. All my system settings on FCE are set to save to the external drive. I have 16GB available on my G5 memory.
    Every time I try to create a title using Title crawl, i get this error message:
    AE Effects Error: Out of memory using "title crawl."
    Also, every time I close the project and re-open it, I have to reconnect all the media and re-render everything, even though I save the project each time. I have also Saved As a different project name multiple times and this doesn't help.
    One other issue: The titles that I have on the project already look clear when the video is paused on a frame, but when they are moving they look very low-res and pixilated. The pixilated look also happens when I output my video to a QT movie. How can I make the titles look sharp?
    Please help!
    THANKS

    Before you do anything, trash your preferences exactly as detailed in this link:
    http://fcpbook.com/Misc1.html
    +"AE Effects Error: Out of memory using "title crawl.""+
    Try pushing down the memory usage and still cache a lot, and see if that helps. You only have 1GB of RAM, so keeping them at 100% is not a good idea. A computer can easily use about half a gigabyte just maintaining regular processes. To make sure you don't overload your RAM, you need to set the amount of memory FCE can use to a much smaller amount.
    +"Also, every time I close the project and re-open it, I have to reconnect all the media and re-render everything, even though I save the project each time. I have also Saved As a different project name multiple times and this doesn't help."+
    Are you moving files around on your scratch disk or renaming them? If so, you will have to reconnect them every time you change things.
    +"The titles that I have on the project already look clear when the video is paused on a frame, but when they are moving they look very low-res and pixilated. The pixilated look also happens when I output my video to a QT movie. How can I make the titles look sharp?"+
    Are you looking at the fully rendered movie? Click Option-R to render everything out.

  • Low Virtual Memory Error in Windows 7 with Itunes 10.3

    Windows successfully diagnosed a low virtual memory condition. The following programs consumed the most virtual memory: iTunes.exe (4260) consumed 439631872 bytes, TuneUpApp.exe (4516) consumed 170782720 bytes, and dwm.exe (5924) consumed 126164992 bytes.

  • Dreamweaver "low on memory" error (yes, again)

    Hi all,
    I'd like to re-open discussion on a problem that's been
    highlighted on these forums a couple of times already:
    Here...
    ...and
    here...
    ...and
    here.
    ...but as yet, no solution.
    I have a new Dell Inspiron 9400 E1705 with 2GB of RAM running
    Dreamweaver v8.0.2 that throws the error "Your system is low on
    memory" (as shown in those other posts) when clearly I have a stack
    of free memory.
    I can make this error occur even when I'm running no other
    apps. No other application gives me memory errors, including
    Fireworks when it's stacked to the gills with big PNGs. Just
    Dreamweaver, and, it seems, almost always when working on CSS
    documents.
    The other threads have been relatively exhaustive on what's
    occurring, so I need not repeat much of it, but this error message
    is annoying the hell out of me. After reading the other posts, I'm
    fairly convinced this is a Dreamweaver bug.
    What do you think?
    I'd like not to get the standard plethora of "IS YOUR VIRUS
    SOFTWARE DOING REALTIME PROTECTION" and "HAVE YOU GOT LOTS OF OTHER
    THINGS OPEN" etc -- I've been using Dreamweaver for years and years
    and I'm not a n00b, so I wouldn't be posting here if I didn't think
    this was something bigger than just my PC.
    I suspect, from reading the other threads, that there might
    be a problem related to working on CSS files (particularly large
    ones) combined with perhaps 2GB of RAM (because this .problem never
    happened on my much lower-specced previous machine).
    Would love to hear your thoughts, preferably constructive,
    though humorous wouldn't go astray... ;-)
    Cheers!

    No answers but same problem... DW8, Dell Dimension 3100 with
    2GB ram. I get
    the same error, but my css files are not particularly long
    nor my pages
    large. Error usually seems to occur when uploading files.
