Chrome ran out of memory?

[The HopelessGamer™]

Hi,

I have 32GB's of ram. I was doing some testing in chrome with about 100 tabs of youtube videos all playing and this happened:

Why does this happen? Its the latest version of chrome. Chrome and OS are 64bit. I am running windows 10.

Ram: 4x 8GB, 3000Mhz, Corsair Vengeance RGB. XMP is enabled.
If you need any more specs, they are on my profile.

One would assume it would be pretty hard for me to run out of ram lol...
How ever, in the screenshots, it clearly shows im not using more then 10gbs of ram...

Cheers,
THG

Memory managment is very complex. I don't know why you have this problem but looking at RAM usage alone won't help you much. RAM is only used for active working sets of data the CPU actually needs. And even then allocated RAM does not equal actual active data. Most of the data lands on the disk where it is streamed from if needed. Maybe you ran out of virtual memory or Chrome has some issue working with it.

you ran out of allocated ram....
it is not like windows OS will give the whole 32GB of ram to your google chrome...
...just a process of memory allocation to all of your running programs

"Why does it allow Chrome to use all of my 32gb??"

My mistake, and from what iv just learned about. The 1080 tis cannot transfer too well between cards so they basically have a copy on each so i do indeed have "11" usable. Thanks for pointing this out to me.

The only way you could have 22GB usable Vram with two 1080 Ti's is by not using SLI but by using "Multi-GPU" with DirectX-12. Which.. sadly, no one is coding in to their games and no one has yet to implement, even though we have DirectX-12 GPU's that support it and Windows 10 that supports DirectX-12. Some day it may be possible. But right now, not yet. Right now most games are still DirectX-10 or DirectX-11, which is limited to what ever Vram one of the cards has and copies it to the second one for SLI/CrossFire. Kind of off topic, but just thought I'd mention it.

Yeah, this was supposed to be one of the big features of dx12, and one that the 900 series were advertised to be able to take advantage of, shame its never been utilised :(

To be fair I've had wayyy more stuff open in the past and not experienced this, it would be interesting if others could see if they can replicate it.

well I got 32gb of ram and nothing better to do atm so I guess I'll download chrome and open a couple hundred tabs or what not..

same thing popped up for me, after about maybe 150 clicks of opening new tabs in chrome, then the same thing in incognito mode it said i didnt have enough memory. don't really know why but ok lol.

Compile a study, write it down and send it to whomever owns Chrome and not only may they "fix" it, they might also reward you for it!

Google develops Chrome. And Chromium, which are the open source components of Chrome is developed by Google with the assistance from other companies and the community.

This was build in on purpose.

You will not get paid for bug reports. Even if you fix a bug in the code (which this is not), you will not be paid.

Well with 3 of us able to recreate it, atleast its not an issue our end I guess, what's your memory setup Chicagoan, mine was tested with quad channel 8 x 4GB sticks of ddr4 3200MHz, hopeless is 4x8GB dual channel.

This limit is most likely in place to prevent memory leaks and jokesters on the internet from freezing up your machine with fork bombs.

Then it should say "Too much ram in use" or something instead of "YOUR OUT OF RAM STOP EVERYTHING" because... im not out of ram lol. If i wanna use 25gbs worth of ram... i intend to have that ability lol.

The thing is, this is a new issue, when reading up on a subject or planning, buying something etc I'll often have masses of tabs open as I work my way through options and info, I've never had this before, it seems far more like a bug in a re ent update than anything put in place deliberately.

Same here, i use alot of tabs when doing certain things. I normally have quite the number of tabs open because that way i wont lose the original page i was on if im opening stuff in new tabs. If im researching ill go through the results and pop up a bunch of pages as new tabs to read.

Uninstall Google Cheome. Restart your PC, download the latest version of Chrome from here:
https://www.google.com/chrome/

The latest version should fix your issue along with a nasty zero day vulnerability found on older versions.

You can always bookmark them. The problem with what you are doing there is keeping your setup vulnerable to malvertising and other driveby download malware that can occur. My dad used to do the same thing (in spite of what everyone kept telling him) and it nearly killed his desktop. He even had the same reason behind it that you mentioned, that you didn’t want to lose anything.
