Quicksilver (2002) ram memory issues

Morning all
Recently I upgrade from a Quicksilver (2001) 733 MHz PowerPC G4 with 1.5 MB of Memory to a newer & faster Quicksilver (2002) Dual 1GB PowerPC G4 512 MB of Memory and have found a few issues between the two...
I had through that I would be able to transfer my existing memory from one to the other... not so!
Can some one tell me why?

Hi John!
Just got back from vacation from 80 to 85 degree Ft. Meyers Beach!
I was not trying to say resetting the PRAM is the same as resetting the PMU.
The following article from a Mac magazine suggests resetting the NRAM may help with this issue. I originally said to the original poster to reset the PMU but then thought some people are daunted by that task.
"If your Mac happily goes to sleep but won't wake up--Hold down the power switch to force-reboot your machine and get it running again.
Don't worry-your Mac isn't narcoleptic. Its Open Firmware system or NVRAM (nonvolatile RAM) is likely corrupt, and your Mac can't remember how to wake up.
Restart your Mac and immediately hold down the Command-Option-O-F key combo until you see a somewhat intimidating command-line display that ends with the Open Fimware prompt. Type the following line:
reset-nvram
press the return key on your keyboard
set-defaults
press return
reset-all
press return
Your Mac will reboot. Once it's running, put it back to sleep to test. If the problem recurs your Energy Saver preferences may be the culprit. Delete the com.apple.PowerManagement.plist file (go to Finder/Hard drive/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration)--don't worry, your Mac will regenerate a new one--and then restart to see if that rights the wrong.
Still didn't work? Might be time to call AppleCare or see an Apple Genius or a technician."
Anyway, I thought someone would bring up your point, but I was to lazy that day to address it!
Happy computing!

Lumia 1320 - Ram memory issues

Hi,
I have recently purchased a Lumia 1320 and I have noticed that I cannot download any app or game from the store that requires 1GB Ram. It says that my phone does not meet the minimum requirements. However as far as I know the Lumia 1320 has 1GB Ram memory. But according to insider app my phone only has 365mb of ram. I already tried a hard reset and I also tried with the Nokia Software Recover tool. After that I tried with installing all updates until the WP8.1 dev preview and the issue is still happening. See below the screenshots.

RAM - Memory issues powerbook G4 aluminium 1.5ghz 15"

Hi,
I have just purchased a powerbook g4 alluminium 1.5ghz 15" A1095 from Ebay and it's fantastic! I have done all the research for upgrading ram and have successfully upgraded to 1gb in the upper/lower slot (I have intermittent lower slot issues but usually ok). It appears from the internet sites and from advice from "those who know" that this machine doesn't need identical memory in each slot, and yet it only reads the upper slot when I install 1gb and 512mb either way. I have established that this is not the known lower slot issue as the machine ticks along happily with either in the lower slot alone. I am wondering if I have been misinformed, and that perhaps I do need 1gb in both slots for the lower slot to be read. I'm loathed to shell out for another gig only to find it doesn't resolve the issue. What do you think?
Thanks,
Kelly

I've been down this road TWO times with Aluminum Powerbooks. The lower RAM slot has a tendency to die. It has nothing to do with the RAM configuration installed - - the slot just dies....
It is a hardware problem.
There are only two options I know of:
1. Send it back to Apple for a replacement board.. I was quoted $650 the first time.
2. Send it to Wegener Media in SC for a board-level repair.
[caveat--there may be other companies doing this repair-I don't know]
It was a flawless repair (aside from $250 out of my pocket), and the laptop has continued to provide excellent service. The second Powerbook with the issue was a temporary laptop we had here, and they repaired it as well.
I called Apple about it when the second unit died. The service person (after a lot of prodding) told me that if you ordered a repair from Apple, you generally get a used/rebuilt board. Apparently they don't have NEW boards. So effectively, you're getting someone else's old problem board, most likely with the same issue. Doesn't seem like a real winning situation, especially at 3x's the price as Wegener's repair.
I ordered a few extra toys for it at the same time (RAM, larger HDD, and a region-free burner).. Worked great, and turned the Aluminum into a real usable tool again...
I know they have a page about the ram slot repair but you could just check their home page: http://www.wegenermedia.com
Hope this helps!

Memory issue with Podcast !!!

Hi,
I have several issues with the Podcast App.
- i cannot sync podcast that i have downloaded on my laptop using itunes to the iphone,
- when i download some podcast directly on the iphone, i cannot play them, i still have to stream them,
- i have uge memory issues and i think that the downloaded version of the podcast might be somewhere on the iphone, but cannot access / delete them (over 16 GO, i have more than 4.5 GO used for 'other', that are not related to anything...)
i have tried to delete / reinstall the app, but this does not change anything...
Any help ?

I have a MSI 975X Platinum rev 2 mb with a e6300 processor overclocked to 2.24ghz.
If your CPU operates @2.24 GHz, it means that you increased FSB frequency to about 348 MHz.
To make sure there is no misunderstanding here, let me point out the following:
Memory frequency is ALWAYS linked to FSB frequency by the FSB/DRAM Ratio you can select in BIOS. If you select 1:1 for example, the BIOS will show that memory frequency is 533 MHz. This value however, only applies to the default FSB clock speed of 266 MHz:
266 MHz x 1 = 266 MHz (or 533 MHz effective DDR2-frequency).
If your system is overclocked, what counts is only FSB/DRAM ratio, not the memory speed displayed in BIOS. That means, if you set FSB/DRAM ration to 1:1 and FSB frequency to 348 MHz, your RAM will operate @:
348 MHz x 1 = 348 MHz (or 696 MHz effective DDR2-frequency).
The main question is:
What are you talking about when you say, you can't make your RAM operate @800 MHz?
The BIOS does not offer a proper divider to get your RAM to 800 MHz @348 FSB clock speed to begin with.
You have the following choices if your overclock your system:
FSB=300 + FSB/DRAM ratio = 1.33
300 MHz x 1.33 ~ 400 MHz (or 800 MHz effective DDR2-frequency)
FSB=320 MHz + FSB/DRAM ratio = 1:1.25
320 MHz x 1.25 = 400 MHz (or 800 MHz effective DDR2-frequency)
FSB=400 MHz + FSB/DRAM ratio = 1:1
400 MHz x 1 = 400 MHz (or 800 MHz effective DDR2-frequency)
Use CPU-Z to monitor the DRAM frequency that is actually set if you are overclocking.

Memory issues

I have a 2008 Macpro...remarkable up-to -date for its age...I plan to use it for some time yet. Lately I have been a having what seems to be a memory issue. There are 12 gig of Ram installed...6x2 gig each in pairs. Sometimes on boot the screen only shows a flashing folder. I shut down and reboot, and it seems fine...but only 8gig of ram shows installed. I opened it up, unseated the boards that hod the ram, and unseated and reset all he ram, and replaced the boards. Great, all he ram shows, 12 gig again. This morning, a few days later, it did it again, showing 8. So, when I run Crucial's memory analyzer, it shows first four slots full, last four empty. A few questions...are the first four slots the top board, the last four the bottom board? This, BTW, is what it was also showing before I reseated the ram. If so, the ram in question s on a separate board. Opinions, is the ram bad, or the board, or neither? Should I reseat again and flush with contact/tuner cleaner/degreaser? Could this hurt? (it is made to clean electronics) the machine does seem ever so slightly unstable. FCP crashed once in a 5 hour edit, which it has done before but rarely. The machine itself did not crash, just the program. Can using the machine like this do more damage, or will it just not boot? I feel it is a seating or connection issue, as I have never seen ram come and go, once it is fried it's fried. The ram is still pretty pricy, but I was going to buy 4 more gigs just to fill it out. Are the two board that hold the ram identical, top and bottom? If so, is a good diagnostic tool to swap them and see what happens? Move all the ram and swap board positions, or do I risk blowing ram ? Remember, the ram did show up when I reseated, so it seems like it is I damaged. My goal would be to see if top ram stops appearing. Does ram need to be filled in order? I know in pairs, but can I just swap the boards and leave the ram, which should look like filling slots 1,2,5,6,7,8...as opposed to 1,2,3,4,5,6. Can the boards be swapped, or are they set somehow to be 1-4 and 5-8, or is that determined automatically by their upper or lower insertion? Any other advice is appreciated. Funds are low, so I need to keep this machine running. Other info, 3.06ghz (2 quad core) Xeon CPUs, 1tb system drive, 4 TB raid5' OSX 10.6.8 dual graphics display with 512MB (can't remember card model right now). Also, can I update graphic card in this machine? I looked at it a few years ago, but the I for I found was confusing and I never got to it. I figure I might be able to get a better card pretty cheap by now. Thanks all.

You have typed a huge list of ideas all as one paragraph with many questions in it without a single bit of white space. My eyes are not good enough to read a question, attempt to answer it, then dig through the sea of letters to find the next question.
Your writing needs white space, which gives it a peculiar overall shape, and allows a reader with poor eyesight to return to a particular spot in the text. So I will attempt to answer some parts of your query, but will be forced to do so from memory of what you wrote.
The Mac Pro uses Error Correcting Code (ECC) RAM. Eight extra bits are stored with each word, and checked when read back. Single-bit errors are detected, and the check bits are used to make a correction on the fly. More complicated errors are detected, and can cause your Mac to halt on a kernel panic to prevent bad data from propagating.
ECC RAM means your Mac can detect bad memory easily at Startup, and can declare pairs of DIMMs "absent" to avoid using them.
Contact corrosion, which was an issue with much older DIMMs, is rarely an issue with these FBDIMMs. Once re-Inserted ONCE, corrosion will not recur for a year or more.
The upper and lower Riser-cards are identical.
The FBDIMMs in these machines are subject to overheating and death. If Mac OS X or any program reports DIMMs as missing, at least one of the DIMMs in that pair has died (but since they are installed in pairs, both are marked absent).

What is my maximum ram memory capacity on Lenovo G575?

I have bought a lenovo laptop -g575(model: 20081? and it has only 2 GB of ram memory, and if anyone could tell me what is my maximum ram capacity? I currently own 2GB ram, SO-DIMM DDR3, 1333MHz.. I was thinking to get 8gb but im not sure if my laptop will reject it. Please help. Thank you!
Solved!

hi StefanThePribic,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
If you system model has two overlaying slots
It should work with 8 GB two 4GB cards

Question for those with memory issues on k8n neo plat

I have been having issues with my memory on the k8n neo platinum board since i built the system last month and i just recently discovered a fact I had overlooked.
I Have discovered that if i test the system while it is cool (having sat turned off overnight for example), then memtest will pass the ram just fine and the system will be stable for a short period of time, generally longer if no intensive applications are used, ie. doom3 vs. websurfing).
This system, once it heats up ( seems mostly to be the nvidia 3 nb that needs to be "hot"- that is, a probe placed in contact with the module reaches about 58+ degrees c) then the system becomes unstable and memtest, if used, fails.
Prime95, if used on it when its cool, will usually take about an hour or so to fail, but if its used on the system when its been running a bit ( temps from nb at 58c+ and memory module hot to the touch) then it fails after about 20-30 seconds.
I have placed an active hs on the nb in an attempt to correct this, but temps still remain high with failures occuring.
I have spent the better part of three days testing the sytem this way and the above facts have held true in all these tests.
I have tested at stock ratings ( not using "auto" in bios, but using "approved ratings" of 10 x 200 for fsb and timings of 2-3-3-7 for my ram at 1:1 (which is recommended as well) since i am testing for base stability at this point;Voltages have been left at auto settings, however.
I was wondering if anyone else with memory issues could try this out and post if this seems to be the case for you as well.
Perhaps the memory issues on these boards are directly related to a problem with the nvidia 3 chipset running too hot?
Does anyone have a memory issue with these boards who is using water cooling on the NB ?
Lack of issues from people using 'problem" memory, but having no failures with water cooled nb's would support my assumption.

Yes i did mean chipset.
I am using a stock hs/fan from amd, which seems to run a tad hot but, considering that I wont overclock until I can get board stable, its not an issue. (runs 35-40 idle and up to 72 intensive). I need the warranty more then the extra mhz at present.
I removed the stock heatsink from the nvidia chipset and bought a generic chipset cooler (green, very little in the way of fins and seems to be aluminum) with a small fan.
I used a generic silver paste from Compusa to adhere both the cpu hs and the chipset.
I didnt lap either hs, just installed each as per instructions on artic silvers website (figured it had to go on the same way even generic).
I also bought a kingwin thermal center which i ran probes from to the cpu, case, and nb chipset.
I am not using it to adjust fans so those arent connected - its just a reference temp I can see at a glance, esp considering the funky bios reading this boards been known to give.
I assume from these responces that even a nvidia 3 250 chipset shouldnt get as hot as mine?
I asked about that from the retailer i bought this from but he seemed to think it was "ok" at 50ish celcius, but then again he didnt look too confident when he said it, lol.
Idle right now reads on Corecenter at 28 celcius for cpu and 33 celcius for the chipset, although, I have readings of 37 c and 43 c from the kingwin thermal center, which i believe to be more accurate.
My voltage reads at 11.67 for the 12v line at idle right now.
The psu i got is stick from the xblade case i bought in store. (http://www.xoxide.com/xblade2.html)
I have a dvd burner, cd drive, and two maxtor ide hd's attached to the system;The only card is the agp.
Is there a way to check and see if the cpu ispower starved? software monitor or even an external probe perhaps?
I havent put a probe on it, but the ram came in its own heatspreader, which gets very hot to the touch as well.
What temps should I be looking for on these items?

Firefox 3.6.8 and memory issues

After the last update to 3.6.6, I disabled plugin-container per the instructions given on the forum, and my RAM problems went away. However, after the automatic update to 3.6.8, the memory problems came back, with memory usage going up to 92%. I downgraded to 3.6.4, and turned plugin-container off again; while memory usage is currently at 84%, it is not as low as it was before the upgrade to 3.6.8. (79-80%) (There is very little difference in the websites being opened on the various tabs.)
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I upgraded to 3.6.8

ffs guys. It's a free browser. It's cool. We love it. But can we do something about memory issues? Almost every release has huge memory leaks.
How about halving the release points and focus on memory issues for the other half of the time. I am a long time user since way back in the day and it seems to me that instead of trying to release so many versions, we should be focused more fixing the current release.
I say put a moratorium on new features until bloat can be fixed. These experiences are starting to give me a hardon for IE again.
Screw new features. I can deal with plain old tabs like they are. I don't need more bells and whistles. This browser has been kicking ass and taking names for a loonnnggggg time. We don't need more bloat. Keep the security fixes coming but everything else can wait. Take a breath. Stop and smell the roses for a few weeks.

Memory issues AP3 & 10.9.1

I've been using Aperture since version 1.0 and never have I had memory issues until now.
HAs anyone come across issues with AP3 and 10.9.1
"Your system has run out of application memory" ? and shows Aperture in red (paused)?
I have 32GB ram, all SSD's and the ATI 5870 graphics card.
Any thoughts/insight/solutions?
I think I'm on the verge of just dumping Aperture and callling it a day - it's bad enough 10.9.1 is having issues with the finder.

This is a known issue.
It doesn't affect everyone, and for some people is resolved by switching off on-screen proofing.
The work around for the moment is periodic restarts before the system runs out of memory. Hopefully a fix will be along shortly.

Is Adobe planning on fixing memory issues or are they hoping Fireworks will go away?

When trying to use Fireworks for larger sites, we (and a lot of other people we talk to) have always had issues with Fireworks crashing (Mac and PC).
We try to split files when working on larger sites but if you use a lot of symbols, updating them is really slow - often slower than saving files and it doesn't stop the crashing.
I realise people might say we're asking for trouble designing pages that are 3000px - 4000px long but long scrolling pages often work well (http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/design.html http://www.kaleidoscopeapp.com/) and we find ourselves designing more and more of them.
When using Fireworks every day, you have to wonder if Adobe would prefer everyone switch to Photoshop - does anyone know what their plans are for Fireworks?
Practical suggestions for stopping the crashes would also be great!
Cheers
Ben

Thanks Jim,
We saw a dot release for Fireworks with the CS5.5 Suite
When I looked at CS5.5 I didn't see Fireworks - totally missed that!
Can you tell me, are you designing multi-page files at these dimensions? If not - good. If so, I would question why, considering that you need to move to Dreamweaver or another web editor to create the actual final site.
Wherever possible, we actually wireframe then design directly in HTML/CSS but on bigger sites, we use developers who like Fireworks files. Plus on the bigger sites, corporate clients often prefer seeing how key pages will look/flow with content in them before they go out for coding.
In these situations, we've tried both multi-page documents and single page documents. But with a lot of symbols, it's actually quicker to reduce the undos to 1, use multi-page docs and gingerly save after every change! We've found updating lots of symbols across multiple docs painfully slow.
Again, I am making a lot of assumptions here, so please forgive that.
No worries!
Also keep in mind that the MAXIMUM page dimension for a new Fireworks document is 6000 pixels. And it sounds like you're getting awfully close to it. FW does not have the same kiknd of memory management features that Photoshop has.
I guess this is the crux of the issue. We can load up the file size in Photoshop but Fireworks has so many features targeted to web design that it's hard to use Photoshop for this purpose.
I thought I'd read somewhere that Fireworks will only ever use 2GB of ram and I've noticed a similar thing in Activity Monitor - Fireworks seems to only ever take about 1.98GB of ram. However this is pure speculation and I don't know this for sure.
Anyway, thanks for the replies. I guess I was curious to see if anyone had heard what Adobe might be planning as the memory issue is surely well known to them - and it's obviously a conscious decision to not allow Fireworks to access more.
Unless CS5.5 addresses this?
Cheers

FMIS restarting and memory issue

I have Flash Media Interactive Server 3.5.5 on Windows 2008 server. I developed video chat application (many to many), it's only 1 FMS application with about 50-100 room instances and 1 lobby instance to which all users are connected. There are up to 600 - 700 users at a time which produce about 2000-2500 connections to FMS.
Problem I have is with steady raise of memory usage, which if goes little above 2GB will make FMS unresponsive and it would restart itself after about 1-2hours. To avoid that Im restarting FMS manualy every 3-4 days. Interesting thing I noticed is that if I restart FMS from admin console, used RAM memory won't fall at levels as if it would right after whole Windows server is restarted.
In my Application.xml there are following configs:
<Scope></Scope>
<Distribute numprocs="3">Instances</Distribute>
These are things from logs during FMS unresponsive period or right before it:

Please help me with this issue.

Thanks for your answers, I'm replying with delay because I wanted to check these things some more.
When I said 'memory is not less', I meant that total memory in Windows after FMS restart doesn't return to memory levels when Windows is restarted, but I guess that's because of some Windows processes and not connected to FMS.
As for FMS processes, these are the things are notice, few hours after FMS restart I get 1 FMSCore.exe that is around 200-220MB, and 3-4 FMSCore's that are around 40-70MB. Size of that largest FMSCore.exe doesn't go down even when there are much less users connected to FMS. And like I said before, after 3 or more days of running FMS becomes unresponsive, and restarts itself. Right after FMS restart largest FMSCore.exe weights around 70MB but 15mins after it's already 120MB as users connect to video chat application.
As for logs, my core.log files have several lines like:

RAM Preview issue

Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone has seen this or can provide some direction for further investigation. This is on a new Mac Pro on which I have just installed FCS
In some projects the RAM preview has no effect on playback performance. After generating a RAM preview, the project will play at the same speed (say 2 fps) and as soon as I pause playing, the green progress bar that indicates project is loaded in RAM disappears or becomes fragmented - without modifying the project in any way. When this happens it also becomes nearly impossible to do additional editing as every simple task (as simple as resetting the play range) can result in the spinning beachball. There was a recent thread on RAM preview issues (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12215113&#12215113) but it appears the problem there was due to a long HDV project. The projects I experience this on generally have a lot of particles or replicated elements, but are standard 720 x 486 resolution projects lasting less than 10 sec. System memory usage is relatively small, less than 4 GB.
These issues arise on a recently purchased MacPro (3.33 GHz 6-Core, 16 GB RAM, ATI 5870). The boot disc is an OWC SSD, and user folders, scratch, etc are on separate hard drives. I installed the operating system on the SSD using the installation disc, and have manually installed all my programs from their original discs. (I initially used migration assistant to bring over applications, but that failed with some applications, so I wiped clean and started over). There have also been some past threads on how different hardware configurations can affect performance, but I don't seem to be doing anything abnormal here.
What I have done:
Tested ram using memtestosx
Verified memory usage through activity monitor. The projects I have tested on use up less than 4 GB of system memory
Before each test or comparison I reset preferences.
I do not have this flakey behavior with an older MBP (17" 2.93 GHz Core 2 MBP with NVIDIA 9600) running the same OS (10.6.4) and motion version (4.0.3). Running the same project on the MBP will take longer for the RAM preview to complete, but when it does, the project plays at full frame rate.
The upgrade to a MacPro was mainly for other CPU and RAM intensive applications unrelated to video or graphics, but I expected motion to show a nice performance boost over the MBP on this new machine. Anyhow, any insight or direction for further investigation that I should pursue will be appreciated.
Thanks.

I tried your project (nice, BTW), and yes, 20,000+ particles take some time to render. However, when I did a RAM Preview, I had no problems - after render it played at full speed.
UNTIL...
I selected the emitter. Then playback went to the pre-RAM-Preview speeds. As soon as I turned off overlays or made sure the emitter was not selected, the playback instantly sped back up to full speed. I believe this is because Motion needs to image the constantly changing outline of the emitter. This means it needs to be re-drawn every frame after Motion determines the extent/size of the 20,000 particles on their random journey.
I think this is backed up by the fact that near the end of your project, there are only a few particles to keep track of and the playback appropriately speeds up. Also, CPU usage vastly increases when I turn on the overlays.
Moral of the story? To ensure the quickest possible playback, turn off overlays (⌘/) or ensure that something like a particle emitter is not selected during playback.

Out of memory issues with PSE 8

I am using PSE 8 64 bit on a Dell desktop computer with Intel (R) Core (TM) i7 CPU 920 at 2.67 GHz. with 8 GB of ram. My operating system is Windows 7, 64 bit.
My problem is that I get out of memory or insufficient ram messages in PSE Editor with some PSE tools when my CPU resource utilization reaches 37 to 38%. In other words, even though my computer is telling me I have almost 4 GB of memory left, PSE is saying it does not have enough memory to complete the operation. It looks to me as if PSE is only using 4GB of my 8 GB of Ram. Is this true and what do I need to do to allow PSE to utilize all of my available ram.

Thanks, that does answer what the problem is, but not necessarily a solution. I like working with 8 to 10 pictures (files) in the editor tray at a time. I make whatever changes needed to each and then group 4 or 5 into an 8.5 X 11 collage. Each picture in the collage is a separate layer and each separate picture may multiple layers of its own. I print the collage on 8.5 x 11 photo paper and then put the page in a photo album. I like the pictures in different sizes, orientations and sometimes shapes, so the album and multiple picture options offered in PSE are not much help. My process eats a lot of memory, which I mistakenly thought, my 8 gb of ram would solve.
Anyway, now that I know the limitations, I can adjust the process to avoid the memory issue and hopefully, a future version of Elements will accommodate 64 bit.
Maybe, I am wondering, do I need to look at other programs or am I missing a PSE function that would make my chore easier.

More Yosemite memory issues

Whoa. What is happening here? I've been monitoring the Activity Monitor this
last week, and this evening the memory values seem to be going crazy (see screenshot).
What is backupd and why is it using 51 GB of memory? And why is kernel_task suddenly over 9 GB?
I can feel my MacBook Pro retina late 2013 13" with 16 GB of RAM slowing down, and the "memory pressure" is way up.
I hate having to restart because I have so much work open, but I guess I have no choice.
Any idea what might be happening?

Yes, it must have been a memory issue with Time Machine. I see the last backup was some 9 hours ago, so I guess it has been sitting there twiddling its thumbs since then, eating away at memory.
I restarted. Fortunately it only takes a minute with the SSD drives. All the same apps and windows are open as before, but as you can see in the screenshot, memory is back to normal.
Plus there is no more input lag. Everything is fast again.
It must be a memory leak or something in Time Machine I imagine.
After restarting and forcing Time Machine to "backup now" it finished the backup successfully very quickly. And while backing up it was way down in the list, using only 25 MB of memory.
I think in this case there is no doubt it's another Yosemite memory bug of some kind.

Hi, We are running domino application in windows server 2008r2 machine, we are facing High RAM utilization issue, but there is no such process are running.

Hi, We are running domino application in windows server 2008r2 standard virtual machine, we are facing High RAM utilization issue, but there is no such process are running. Machine is running in ESXI host, most of the time it shows high RAM utilization.
We upgraded the ram from 6 to 8 GB, but still facing the issue,
Where as other VMs working fine.
Need a help to find out the issue.

Hi Sathish sampath,
You can use Resource monitor and Task Manager->Performance to monitor the RAM memory utilization, I also recommend you to download the
RAMMap to get more detailed memory information.
For more detailed information to troubleshoot this issue, please also refer to this thread:
memory performance problem. Please help.
You can also choose to post your monitor picture to help us to troubleshoot.
I holp this helps.
