It means that you're low on RAM. Specs? (You can use CPU-Z or Speccy to find this info out)

That is actually worrying. You might want to check on what's using up so much RAM. Are you using a 64-bit OS or a 32-bit OS?

When you load up a game, check what's using up your RAM. There may be 3rd party programs (Or viruses) at work.

How do we do that


Using win 10

I'm not actually familiar with W10 (Using Windows 7 32 bit... The suffering), so I can't help with that. Try looking it up.

i think your storage is nearly full... no more enough space for SWAP file (aka Page File)

Ctrl+Shift+Escape on keyboard to open the task manager.
Select the Performance tab.
Select RAM entry.

Why is it people seem alienated? "I'm on Win10, I forgot how things work"

Most of the Core OS all works the same; you get to Task Manager and common tasks the same way we've been doing it since Win2k/XP

Just check the Event Viewer > Windows Logs > Application
Many times it is not uncommon for Windows to say you are low on RAM when you actually are not; it often happens when an app uses a large amount of ram if a very short time, and its tossing up a flag about that in particular, there usually is nothing more to it than that.

Also, you have plenty of physical RAM, ditch the PageFile.

could be a memory leak, if some programs not releasing ram that its no longer using
