"Your computer is low on memory" when its clearly not

Hi,

Do you face this issue only while playing any games? If so, do you get this error even when playing games other than arma 3?

This issue could be caused due to some incorrect settings. Sometimes, you might face such issues if there is a memory leak in one of the programs. I would suggest you to try these steps and check:

First, I would suggest you to run the ‘System maintenance’ troubleshooter which can automatically scan and perform the required maintenance tasks, and also fix any incorrect settings that could be causing issues. Refer to these steps to run this troubleshooter:

a)      Press Windows key +F to bring up the search Charms bar.

b)      Select settings in the drop down menu below search and type Troubleshooting.

c)       Click on Troubleshootingand select the view all option on the left pane.

d)      Click on System maintenance troubleshooter and follow the prompts.

I would also suggest you to make sure that you have installed the latest graphic card driver from the manufacturer’s website to make sure that the driver is not causing any issue or memory leak.

If the issue persists, I would suggest you to check the Event viewer logs for error logs around recent date and time when you got this error to find out the root cause of this issue. Refer to these steps:

a)      Go to the Start Screen, type in Event Viewer. This will bring up the Event Viewer tile, Click to open the event viewer.

b)      In the left pane, expand out Windows Logs. Click on Application log and highlight the first event in the log and use your arrow keys to scroll down.

c)       Most of your event will be Information. You may see Yellow Warnings or Red Errors. If you see any red error, you can double click on it to bring it up and copy the contents in your reply.

Keep us updated on the issue for further assistance.

I have a similar issue. Exact same error. The game is "Elemental: Fallen Sorceress", it's launched through Steam. On a Surface Pro 2 128GB, the game uses only 500-600 MB RAM. According to Ressource Monitor, total RAM in use on the machine is about 2-2.3 GB when the pop up shows up. A lot more than 1 GB RAM is unused when the pop up appears, usually there's almost 2 GB RAM free (1.5 GB Standby, .5 GB Free).

There's no memory leak issue, otherwise the memory would be in use by the leaking process. In the Resource Monitor I can see that the memory was at no time anywhere near critical. Since the Resource Monitor takes snapshots every seconds, I could only imagine that the application allocates the memory for a few milliseconds and frees it afterwards.

There are no errors in the event viewer error logs at the times this happens.
