Out of video memory trying to allocate a rendering resource. - Crash

[81numa]

Hey, since a few hours I get Game crashes and an error saying:
"Out of video memory trying to allocate a rendering resource."

Heres a Unreal Engine Crash Report:
Out of video memory trying to allocate a rendering resource.

Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000000000000

It seems like an Nvidia driver specific crash.
Judging from the description, looks like your VRAM was used up and this caused the program to crash. That is a combination issue.

It could be caused by the Unreal Engine
It could be caused by a fault within the driver software
It could also be caused by the developer of the game and their shader implementations. Either way, it seems that certain resources got endlessly copied into VRAM.

Report the issue to the game developer.

Try updating the BIOS on your motherboard.

Thanks, this is not only happening with one specific game tho, its happening with almost all my games.

Try reinstalling the nvidia driver software. I'm not sure what else you can do to fix this then.

Note: Its possible the GPU itself is causing the problem, but lets hope its not. See if there is a firmware update for it, maybe that fixes it.

I finally fixed it, did everything u guys said, nothing worked sadly.
It had something to do with the RAM, I am not sure what exactly, but when I switched the positions of the RAM sticks, it finally worked.

Thanks for helping

Why did this remind me so much of blowing into an NES cartridge, or fitting various game cartridges of whatever console juuust right to get them to work? Lol, anyway, glad it worked for you. Cheers! :D

HAHAHHA yea good one!

People that work with board know this, it aient that rare and why set ram in require room temparature, also know as harware require rest or should i said recover tempareture before touch it.

So technical it s nothing new, more a privat person that dont know better.
and you wont get this info normaly, part of education maybe.

also raise the question who put your pc together, if detail mattre here. ( most company know this i bet. ) so this look more like a privat custom build pc.

And be happy someone dare ask things like this. ( so other steam user do not make same mistake, and be lucky you did not damage the ram. )

Unstable ram can do it. From what you describe you may not have had a stick fully seated and your act of swapping them did that.

[Elucidator]

I'm just confused. How does a badly seated DIMM lead to specific games crashing and nothing else and, why do the errors point to the Nvidia GPU's VRAM instead? (windows fails to diagnose the problem?)

It would make more sense (to me at least) if one of the RAM DIMMs isn't good and for some reason corrupts data, albeit it being very little.


RAM being the cause is possible, I'm not saying that it is not:

Data is loaded from the SSD into memory (RAM)
So SSD -> CPU -> RAM
then Data is loaded into VRAM but for whatever reason it never finishes leading to a full VRAM out of memory error
RAM -> CPU -> GPU -> VRAM

(and yes the CPU is involved in between due to the intel chipset design motherboard.)

But then this....

If you take it from the logical standpoint of the modern Gen 14 Intel + DDR5 design--
The Windows Virtual Memory space is first allocated to Slot A, and then to Slot B.
What I am expecting as such is that now, you're going to still crash, except that it happens much later when you use up more RAM.

I think one of your DIMMs isn't good basically. I think if the DIMMs weren't seated properly, your entire PC would hang and refuse to work properly.
In fact normally when RAM isn't good, your PC doesn't work... however... it seems that a lot of your ram is working fine; its just when a certain amount is used you get an issue (which you experience with this game apparently)

I recommend testing your RAM with memtest
https://www.memtest86.com/

It is a very lengthy test that may take a whole day, but you can do one RAM stick per time to cut it in half if not more. Still... I think you may need to return at least one of the RAM sticks due to a defect. The test can confirm this or rule that possibility out.

Yeah I built the PC myself haha

You are 100% correct, yesterday it crashed, but much later, then I stopped playing bc I was frustrated.
When I started my PC today, it greeted me with the message "Boot failure Detected".

Slowly getting tired of it tbh...

I sent u a friend request, would be cool if u accepted it so that we can have a quick chat.

Thank you guys so much!

Well, its not RAM then, since RAM isn't used at the EFI boot stage yet.
Its either the BIOS or the SSD.

You need to look for a firmware update for the BIOS / UEFI
and the SSD, and on next boot try to install those.

In case it fails, you need to use another PC and put the update file on a USB stick. Modern UEFI bios can grab the firmware file from the USB.

--also considering the friend invite.
I get random people inviting me more often and I tend to forget profile names, so- I didn't know who invited me this time before I checked the thread.

[Iceira]

He could have 3 issue here BIOS update issue and still have not set it correctly or worst case ignorsd standard knowledge in climated hardware to room temp.

and that the problem here ppl that think they can just plug things in then they recive or come home with it, and plug things in. ( such ppl are also here as steam gamers. )
