Windows 10 and ram
Hello curious users of the internet, I’m facing several issues with Windows 10 and RAM usage when running programs like Adobe Premiere Pro or Photoshop CC. The system frequently reports that my RAM is too high, causing the program to crash or become unresponsive. Despite using multiple memory test tools and even Asus RealBench without problems, I still experience these errors. My laptop runs on an Asus N56JN-CN035H with a Samsung 840 EVO SSD, plus 8GB of Kingston ValueRAM KVR16LS11/8, and 4GB of pre-installed RAM. The page file is set to automatic, and the RAM usage stays around 50-60%, but the program still fails. I’m unsure what’s causing this and how to fix it.
I think Windows 10 tends to utilize RAM more for caching compared to other versions. If this is causing issues, consider turning off features like SuperFetch when your storage is fast enough.
These issues might differ from what you're experiencing. In SolidWorks there are two possible reasons for this error. One involves the GDI object limit in Windows, which SolidWorks can sometimes exceed. You can verify if this is the source by opening Task Manager, right-clicking on a column header and selecting 'Select Columns.' There, enable 'GDI objects' to check your usage—typically the default is 10K, but warnings appear around 7K. If that's the cause, you can adjust the limit in the registry. The other reason is SolidWorks not requesting virtual memory properly. You can fix this by setting it manually with an 'initial size' matching your system memory (e.g., 16GB) and the maximum double value, which may consume extra resources but isn't critical unless you're using a very small SSD. Hope this helps, though I'm not very familiar with Adobe CC.
You're puzzled right now (
. Let me know if you'd like to continue.
It's strange since it fails after just 50% of the memory is used.
Did you check for any issues with your RAM using a memory test?
In the task manager, you can observe Premiere Pro operating with 4GB of RAM utilization, even though it seems inactive when viewed in the taskbar.
