Hi all hope you can help!
I have a new custom build PC and I keep running in to memory issues - spec is below.
Essentially games, XBMC etc crash out with a message saying that memory is low and that [current game] must be closed.
After this started I updated all drivers etc but I'm still getting the same problem. Heres a summary of the data Event Viewer pulled together in System Event ID 2004 (Events related to exhaustion of system commit limit (virtual memory).):
And that all looks very weird. Basically virtual memory is filling up before physical memory is exhausted. Hmm.
So then I set up a performance monitor for memory, ran through the game again, and got the same message. PerfMon then showed this:
Which would imply a memory leak in a process running under svchost. Checking Task Manager shows these items running under that PID:
Anyone have any ideas what may be happening here? It looks like something in svchost is filling up all available memory, however there really is nothing much running at all when this occurs - the machine should be able to cope OK.
I've also run a Windows memory check, and that came back fine.
And if this happens once more while the Mrs is playing LEGO LOTR, there'll be hell to pay....
Thanks!
