Virtual memory exhaustion when idle

Everytime I leave my laptop for a long period of time (couple of hours) and then come back I get the popup that windows ran out of memory.
So I tried to look into event viewer and here is what I see ( http://goo.gl/TLpkV6 ) //Sorry I'm not allowed to post pictures for whatever reason
The event details display those values:
SystemCommitLimit 34 235 564 032
SystemCommitCharge 34 088 890 368
ProcessCommitCharge 4 058 849 280
PagedPoolUsage 438 538 240
PhysicalMemorySize 8 465 760 256
PhysicalMemoryUsage 4 248 018 944
NonPagedPoolUsage 183 934 976
Processes 129
I have the default Pagefile size (maintained by system) and it looks like something is using it all even though the physical memory has still about 50% free space
So I tried to attach a task to this event and I used PsList to dump all the processes when this event occurs. However I didn't find anything abnormal in the log.
Here it is:

When I did the SUM, I got these results:
VM: 33,601,910
WS: 4,038,504
Priv: 4,041,576
Priv Pk: 7,109,352
So it looks like VM is really 33GB. So I tried to run the same dump again manually when I was using the computer, because I never get out of memory dialog when I actually use my laptop and I got total size of used VM of 39,035,346 KB
However the task manager says only 7.6 GB of virtual memory is used and like I said I never get out of memory error when I actually use the laptop.
Task manager screenshot here: http://goo.gl/20lyjA
I've never had this problem until I upgraded my laptop to Windows 8.1 through Windows Store. Now I see the out of memory error every morning when I come back to my laptop.
Any ideas how to solve those memory issues when my laptop is idle?
UPDATE:
I just found out that it only happens when I have a monitor plugged into the DisplayPort (even though the monitor is turned off). My laptop has Core i5 3210M with the latest graphics drivers installed (10.18.10.3496)

Today I killed Chrome for the night but the result is the same
Also Windows Defender didn't find anything.

Virtual memory exhausted when compiling packages from AUR

Recently I've seen this error more and more often. When I tried compiling some packages from AUR, I ended up getting "virtual memory exhausted" error. The first time it happened with clementine-git, then android-studio. Can I do something about it?

I am also facing the same problem. I am trying to install a package, and the installations aborts saying 'virtual memory exhausted'. The RAM is 2 GB and i have alloted 2 GB as swap. Things i have tried so far
-install using yaourt
-install using makepkg.
-change TMPDIR to HDD.
Even when i tried it without any window manager to start, limiting the RAM usage, the problem still persists. The only way is to allot an extra swap space, but that would mean that i will have to delete a partition, which is not a feasible solution. Is there anything else one could do. ?
if it helps,

[SOLVED] Virtual Memory Exhausted with unused 16g Swap Partition.

Hello all, long time reader, first time poster. So basically what I'm running into is that I'm having Virtual Memory Exhausted errors with various programs even though I have a 16g swap partition mounted. I've manually enabled it to try it as well. Here's some outputs to give you an idea of how my system is set up. It's a UEFI fresh install, only a couple days old.

I did just notice that it's showing 4gb less RAM than there should be (12 instead of 16, I'll be checking into that about the same time I hit submit) but as far as I can tell the system shouldn't even be worried about swap 99.99% of the time. Any ideas?
Edit: On reboot system show the full 16gb of RAM.

Could it be a hardware problem with RAM? Is there a 4 GB RAM chip in the machine that may have failed?

High Virtual memory usage when using Pages 2.0.2

Hey there,
I was just wondering whether there had been any other reports of unusually high memory usage when using Pages 2.0.2, specifically Virtual memory. I am running iWork 06 on the Mac listed below and Pages has been running really slowly recently. I checked the Activity Monitor and Pages is using hardly any Physical memory but loads of Virtual memory (so much so that the Page outs are almost as high as the Page ins (roughly 51500 page ins / 51000 page outs).
Any known problems, solutions or comments for this problem? Thanks in advance

I don't know if this is specifically what you're seeing, but all Cocoa applications, such as Pages, have an effectively infinite Undo. If you have any document that you've been working on for a long time without closing, that could be responsible for a large amount of memory usage.
While it's good practice to save on a regular basis, if you're making large amounts of changes it's also a good idea to close and reopen your document every once in awhile, simply to clear the undo. I've heard of some people seeing sluggish behavior after working on a document for several days, which cleared up when the document was closed and reopened.

Photoshop CS6 memory leak when idle and nothing open

Photoshop CS6 runs away with memory after being used and then going idle. If I open up PS and leave it, it will be ok but as soon as I open any file it will go up in memory usage (which is normal) but when I close all files and hide PS the memory will stay high never goes back down. When I close PS and re-open (no files open) again it idles at 300Mb memory but when I open a file then close it and then hide/idle PS it raises and stays around 1.25-1.5 GB if not more.
I have tried to Purge All, and even hide all menus to no avail. I have even tried to close Suitcase (eleminiate any font issues) and still same problem. I am running PS bone stock, no extra plug-ins.
Any ideas on why it would be doing this would be greatly appreciated!
My Computer:
Photoshop 13.0.1
MacBookPro
OS 10.6.8
CPU: 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Mem: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
HD: 300GB (30GB Free)

Photoshop is not supposed to free memory when you close documents -- that's normal, because the memory gets reused.
Yes, opening a file makes the memory usage go up - because space is needed for the document and it's window.
None of what you said describes a leak, and sounds like perfectly normal behavior.

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

Getting virtual memory error when fetching records from database

HI,
I am using Oracle as Database and the Oracle JDBC driver. I have simple code which is a select statement but the problem is the resultset dies while fetching the data i.e. 5,50,000. And it gives me the memory error as its storing all in the memory. One of the way which i have serched in the old threads is using the batch method fetching rows at a time but can you tell me how to implement in my code. I am pasting my code.
The overall functionality of my code is that it's reterving data from database and generating an XML file that would be validated with a DTD.

The problem is that you are fetching and processing all the rows for the query, which the VM cannot handle given the heap space available. The points you could think over are:
* Allocate more heap memory (this would help only to a limited extent)
* Try to process only a few records at a time instead of all of them (there is actually no need to process all the records at a time. Try processing records in lots of say 1000)
* Avoid selecting all the columns [SELECT *] from the table, if all of them are not going to be used.
There is a slight change i have done in the code is that i am using two quereies now one is fetching all the Bills and the secondquery is fetching all the data for the relevant BILL.
//My Code
public class Invoicef3 implements ExtractF3 {
     /*Query to get distinct bill numbers*/
     final String queryString1 =
          "select distinct(bill_no) from hsbc_print_bills";
     /*Query to get distinct bill numbers statement details*/
     final String queryString =
          "select * from hsbc_f3_statement where bill_no='";
     public ArrayList process() {
          Connection con = null;
          Statement stmt = null;
          ResultSet rset = null;
          ArrayList arr1 = null;
          ArrayList arr2 = null;
          try {
               con = ConnectionManager.getConnection();
               stmt = con.createStatement();
               rset = stmt.executeQuery(queryString1);
               arr1 = new ArrayList();
               while (rset.next()) {
                    arr1.add(new F3BillExtract(rset.getString(1))); //generating the Bill_No's
               System.out.print(arr1.size());
               rset.close();
               stmt.close();
               for (int i = 0; i < arr1.size(); i++) {
                    stmt = con.createStatement();
                    rset =
                         stmt.executeQuery(
                              queryString
                                   + (((F3BillExtract) arr1.get(i)).getBill_No())
                                   + "'");

                         arr2.add(
                              new F3StatementExtract(

Physical Memory is 72% when Chrome is open, and 40% when Idle.

This is insane and I have tried a lot of things. First, I increased the virtual memory to 6000mb (custom). Then i disabled the windows effects. Then unchecked everything on start up using msconfig. Still, computer is 39-40% on idle, then 70% when in chrome.
I heard this isnt normal, but I had this computer for at least 3-4 years. I am not too good with computers, so extra guidance would be appreciated.

Hi,
To fix this issue, I would like to suggest you try the folloing methods:
Method 1 : Use Google Chrome’s inbuilt task manager
To bring up the task manager on Google chrome just press the following key combination ( Shift + Esc ). The Task manager in Google chrome shows how much resource every web page and each of the chrome extensions are using . Right click on any process
and you can select from more categories of information . If you find any of them fluctuating and using too much of your ram and CPU resources . Changes might be that the page is infected or the extension is malfunctioning . select the process / extension and
end it . do a thorough scan of your system for any malware infection that could have happened possibly .
Method 2 : Remove all the extension in Google chrome
Sometime one or multiple plugins can be the reason why Google chrome uses a lot of your computers resources . use chrome’s extension manager to find out which of the extension is using more resources . Select the extension and end it . Restart chrome and
if the plugin works normally then the problem is solved .
Method 3 : Reset chrome
If you can’t find any problem through the above steps then thy Resetting Chrome . It fixes most of the problems wit chrome . Before resetting chrome , do sync your bookmarks and other data with your Gmail account so that you don’t lose them
If you follow these three methods then most probably your problem will be solved . If it doesn’t then uninstall and reinstall chrome.
I would like to suggest run Memory Diagnostic Test and check.

Error message that no virtual memory pops up & crashes when application is run for more than 1 hour

My application uses VISA serial operations. It has arrays to store data collected from various devices. I reinitialise the arrays each time the index reaches 50.
Data acquisitions is carried out in separate threads by invoking the runVI method.
When i run the application on Win XP continuaously for more than 1 hour it gives an error message that no more virtual memory to complete the task and the system hangs up.
I open the serial port only once and close it when the application is terminated. But serial read/write operations are done continuaously
Is the error caused due to memory leakage? How can i solve the problem. It's very urgent and i shall be thankful if i ge
t the help.

Yes, it sounds like a memory leakage (either that or you're trying to run an advanced app on an old computer w/ little memory and a small hard drive).
Things to try:
1. Ensure it's only labview, and not say labview and another application interacting. This isn't a likely case, but you never know what people have on their boxes and I've seen some weird things with virus scanners. Hit Ctrl-Shift-Esc to get the task manager. Go to processes and watch the memory consumption (click Memory twice to sort in descending order) of the various processes. If labview keeps rising, you've got a leak.
2. If only a reasonable amount of memory is being used, double check your page file settings (read virtual memory).
From the Control Panel
Select System
Select
Advanced Tab
Under Performance, select the Settings button
Select Advanced Tab
Under Virtual Memory, let windows dynamically adjust the page file (and any XP speed tweakers out there can now chime in about how wrong this is. This essentially allows windows to keep upping the virtual memory as needed by various processes.
3. Find the leak. In LV Tools->Advanced->Profile VIs. Turn on memory stats. Start the profiler. Start your vi. If the vi crashes labview totally, you'll have to keep hitting snapshot to find the leaky vi (the one that's memory keeps growing).
4. Upload the vi to the forum so we can give it a looksee.

What is the average Windows 8.1 Virtual Machine memory usage at idle on Hyper-V 2012 R2?

Hello, I was just watching a presentation where the spokesperson is stating that Windows VMs (8.1 I assume) on a Hyper-V host with Dynamic Memory enabled can possibly use as little as 300 MB of RAM when idle.
My 8.1 Enterprise VM's with Dynamic Memory enabled still use about 2600 MB of RAM when sitting idle. Is this normal? It would be great to get this usage down. I hear rumors of 'MinWin' but don't think this really relates to a VDI deployment.
Also, I have configured 8 GB for startup RAM if that matters.
Thanks

Amount of memory is very dependent upon workload on the system. If nothing else on the Hyper-V host is asking for memory, the VM will not simply give it up. If you have plenty of RAM on your host, and the total amount of memory needed by all
the VMs and the host is less than the amount of RAM on the host, you will not likely see any decrease in the size of the VMs. With dynamic memory, if there is less physical memory than the sum of all the running VMs, one VM may need memory so it asks
for it. This might cause the memory manager to request to take the memory away from another VM. That VM looks at what it has allocated and determines what it can give up. Without this 'external' pressure, there is no need for the VM to give
up memory. In concept, this is no different than what happens among processes on a stand-alone system, except that when a process exits, it releases its memory. So, if the VM is sitting idle, that means processes are not exiting, so no memory is
being freed. It there were other machines needing the memory, it is possible that the idle VM could give up memory to those VMs needing more memory.
8GB for startup memory seems really excessive for a Window 8.1 installation. I can't think of any sort of typical workstation application that would require that much memory to start up. But, that makes no difference on freeing memory.

Why does my mac use virtual memory when I still have free physical memory?

I have a 2011 i7 quad core mac, I was hoping it would scream. Most of the time it does. However when trying to edit within FCPX I get a very disappointing experience with many pauses and pin wheels if I don't close every single other program.
I have 8GB of physical memory and when i'm experiencing these problems I see that i still have 1-2 gb of physical memory free or inactive. At the same time FCPX is only using 2gb of memory. I just happened to keep an eye on the VM page in/outs and noticed them going up.
Right now i'm doing some browsing and emailing, that's about it.. its sat with over 4gb of memory free or inactive and yet still the page in/outs is still going up occasionally. It's currently at over 2 million page ins, and over 1 million page outs.
So with so much physical memory free why is this happening!? At the moment the mac feels nice and responsive, but if i start trying to use FCPX i'll start to experience these slowdowns, stalls... whenever i see these i see my main hdd is being accessed whilst the pinwheel is displayed.. I mean i get it, its VM, the hdd is too full, a bit fragmented perhaps, its stalling... but i've got gigs of memory sitting free or inactive... why wont the OS use it!!!
Would my experience improve if i took the plunge and got 16gb of memory instead of 8gb!?
Thanks for your help!

Because without virtual memory, managing computer RAM is a royal pain in the ...
Virtual memory cost you nothing, and gains you huge benefits, even if you do not notice it
What cost you is when you need more real RAM than is available, and things are thown out of RAM, either back to the original file it came from (Read Only information), or pushed out to the swapfiles (/var/vm/*). Then the system has to wait for slower disk access. But even this is better than not being able to run the apps until you quit something else.
(speaking as someone that starting his professional life working with 1" punch paper tape, 80 columns cards, 7-track and 9-track mag tapes, 1MB disks (you heard me right 1 Megabyte), etc..., and trust me when I tell you that virtual memory is a god send to software development).
There are a lot of problems running a modern operating system with out virtual memory. For example all the shared libraries and frameworks that provide services to an application would all need to be compiled into the application, which means every application gets bigger and instead of having a single copy of the shared library or framework, you would have dozens of copies wasting your RAM.
Without virtual memory, you would be required to find a contiguous chunk of RAM to run your application. Think of this like going out to dinner by yourself, you can find any available table, but if you go to dinner with your extended family, you need a table for 10 to 15, and if you are going to dinner with your high school graduation class, you will need hundreds of seats all next to each other and a very large table. In the later situations you have to wait until the resturante has enough contiguous space, which means you have to wait until other diners finish. There may be lots of empty tables, but they are not together, and your group wants/needs to sit together. Virtual memory allows gathering any 4K chunk of RAM, building a virtual memory map for all those random 4K chunks, and make it look like one big contiguous chunk of RAM, so you can run your application right away, no waiting.
Going back to shared libraries and frameworks. This code will need to have addresses resolved so they branch to the correct locations during execution, and it will need to have addresses resolved on where its program variables are located in RAM. Using virtual memory, you can local a shared object into RAM, then place it in everyone's virtual memory map at the exact same RAM address. This means everyone can use the exact same code, and since everyone is using it at the same RAM address, it makes life so much easier for the operating system (translation, less work, less wasted CPU time, faster execution).
When a program wants to grow, for example a web browser loading a web page (and its images) into RAM, it needs to allocate additional RAM. In the contiguous RAM model, you need to get control of the RAM that imediately following your program, but if that RAM is being used by someone else, you have to wait until that program goes away.
Virtual memory provides protection from another program looking at and modifying your program's RAM. Malware would just love for virtual memory to go away.
You want virtual memory. What you do not want is excessive paging activity.
If you are concerned, then you can launch Applicaitons -> Utilities -> Terminal. Once you have a terminal command prompt, enter the following command:
sar -g 60 100
which will tell you the number of 4k pages written to /var/vm/pagefile ever minute for 100 minutes (modify the numbers to suit your tastes). You can then go about your normal usage, and come back later to see how much you have been using the pagefiles. If you have mostly zeros, and an occasional small burst, this is noise, and not worth worrying about. If you have sustained pageout activity, with higher numbers, then you should either consider running less things all at the same time, or looking for an application that is being greedy with its memory use (or has a memory leak), OR get more RAM for your Mac if you need to do all those things at once.
But do not complain about virtual memory. Life would be much worse without it. Then again if you have a better idea, write a research paper, and get operating system vendors (as well as hardware vendors) to implement your ideas. I am serious, as I've seen many accepted computing ideas be overturned by good new ideas.

Cannot create virtual memory swap file - when retrieve workbook

We are running Discoverer 4i on Window NT Terminal Version. System will prompt this problem 'Cannot create virtual memory swap file' when user tries to retrieve a workbook. The workbook has complex queries.
However, we have as much as 3GB available spaces.
Please help, for those who know the solution.
Thanks.

I don't think terminal server is a supported version
of windows for Discoverer.

When playing games on facebook, I often get the message "virtual memory too low, is being increased" Is there something I can do to clean out the "virtual memory" to avoid this?

As mentioned in my question above, it happens usually during playing games. I wondered if there were someway to clean out the virtual memory, as opposed to it "increasing" continually and overloading my memory in general. You are speaking with a computer novice for the most part, so I am unfamiliar with a lot. I do do updates and general maintenance on the computer, but is that enough for this issue?

Physical memory is the memory that is installed on your computer as real memory. To be able to run programs that require more memory and more programs at the same time (via time sharing and task switching) it is also possible to move (swap) currently not needed code and data to disk to make room for other programs and data. The total memory available for programs is the Virtual Memory.
You can check the Virtual Memory settings here: Control Panel > System > Advanced > Performance > Settings (Advanced tab)<br />
Windows can manage more memory then is physical available and that memory is stored in a page file on your hard drive.
If the size of that file is not large enough and all available memory is in use then you get the Virtual Memory is low warning.
Make sure that you have at least 1 GB or the recommended setting for the Virtual Memory.
If you have less than 1 GB physical memory installed on your computer then if possible add more memory.
