When there is
less physical memory than needed, then some
virtual memory (virtual RAM) is created on the disk. When there is a limit set to the size of virtual memory usage and there is not enough of it present there is a warning that frequently comes
“Virtual Memory too low”.Solution 1 :
This problem occurs when
physical RAM + Virtual RAM (usually created on hard disk) together are not sufficient to take care of the currently needed RAM size, or this situation is about to arise. This usually happens when some fixed upper limit for Virtual Memory has been set. To solve this problem, you can either
upgrade you physical RAM on
your computer (recommended), or you can set the Virtual Memory to system managed size or you can do both. Setting Virtual Memory to
system managed size means windows will set it to higher size whenever needed automatically,for this,
Right click on
My computer --> goto properties, goto
advanced tab, click on
performance settings, now click on
advanced, now click on advanced, now click on change button for
Virtual memory.
On this screen select the
System managed size, press
OK. After this
re-start your computer. This will solve the virtual memory too low problem.
Solution 2:
Recommended solution is to upgrade your
physical memory (RAM) according to requirements of the kind of applications that you run on your computer. If you upgrade
RAM or not, the following procedure will help prevent this warning by increasing the virtual memory limit.
- Right click on My computer icon and click properties.
- This will show system properties window. Click on a advanced tab and click on the settings button under heading performance.
- This will open performance options window. Click on advanced tab and click on change button under heading virtual memory.
- Check if the space available is set to some custom value or double the RAM size ?
- If it is not double the RAM memory size , then select the size option set the virtual memory size double the RAM Size and press set button and press OK button.
- Restart the computer.
