Fix Your Computer Is Low On Memory Warning

“Your Computer Is Low On Memory” warnings happen when


Windows has run out of space to put the data it needs to store when
you’re running different applications. This can be either in the RAM
modules in your computer, or also on the hard disk when the free
RAM has been filled up.

Your computer is low on memory


To restore enough memory for programs to work correctly, save your
files and then close to restart all open programs.
When your computer doesn’t have enough memory for all of the
actions it’s trying to perform, Windows and your programs can stop
working. To help prevent information loss, Windows will notify you
when your computer is low on memory.

Your computer has two types of memory, random access


memory (RAM) and virtual memory. All programs use RAM, but
when there isn’t enough RAM for the program you’re trying to run,
Windows temporarily moves information that would normally be stored
in RAM to a file on your hard disk called a paging file. The amount of
information temporarily stored in a paging file is also referred to as
virtual memory. Using virtual memory—in other words, moving
information to and from the paging file—frees up enough RAM for
programs to run correctly.
Your computer is low on memory problems occur when your computer
runs out of RAM and becomes low on virtual memory. This can
happen when you run more programs than the RAM installed on the
computer is designed to support. Low memory problems can also
occur when a program doesn’t free up memory that it no longer needs.
This problem is called memory overuse or a memory leak.

Fix Your Computer Is Low On Memory Warning

In order to prevent such warnings, you can change the minimum and


maximum size of the paging file by following these steps.

Method 1: Increasing Virtual Memory

1.Press Windows Key + R and type sysdm.cpl in the Run dialog box
and click OK to open System Properties.

2.In the System Properties window, switch to the Advanced tab and


under Performance, click on Settings option.
3.Next, in the Performance Options window, switch to the Advanced
tab and click on Change under Virtual memory.
4.Finally, in the Virtual memory window shown below, uncheck the
“Automatically manage paging file size for all drive” option. Then
highlight your system drive under Paging file size for each type
heading and for the Custom size option, set the suitable values for
fields: Initial size (MB) and Maximum size (MB). It is highly
recommended to avoid selecting No paging file option here.
5.Now if you’ve increased the size, a reboot is not mandatory. But if
you’ve decreased the size of the paging file, you must have to reboot
to make changes effective.

Method 2: Run CCleaner in order to fix Registry issues

If the above method didn’t work for you then running CCleaner might
be helpful:

1.Download and install CCleaner.


2.In the “Cleaner” section, under the Windows tab, we suggest
checking the following selections to be cleaned:

3.Once you’ve made certain the proper points are checked, simply
click Run Cleaner, and let CCleaner run its course.

4.To clean your system further select the Registry tab and ensure the
following are checked:
5.Select Scan for Issue and allow CCleaner to scan, then click Fix
Selected Issues.

6.When CCleaner asks “Do you want backup changes to the


registry?” select Yes.

7.Once your backup has completed, select Fix All Selected Issues.

8.Reboot your PC to save changes. This method seems to Fix Your


Computer Is Low On Memory Warning in some cases where the
system is affected because of the malware or virus.

Method 3: Run System maintenance

1.Press Windows Key + X and then select Control Panel.


2.Now type troubleshoot in the search box and
select Troubleshooting. 

3.Click View all in the left-hand window pane.


4.Next,  click on System maintenance troubleshooter and follow the
prompts.

Method 4: Disable Windows Memory Warnings

Note: This method is only for user’s having RAM 4G or more, if you


have less memory than this please don’t try this method.
The way to do this is to prevent the Diagnostics service from loading
RADAR which consists of 2 DLL files, radardt.dll and radarrs.dll.

1.Press Windows Key + R then type “Regedit” and hit enter to open
Registry Editor.

2.Now navigate to the following registry key and delete each of them
completely:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro
l\WDI\DiagnosticModules\{5EE64AFB-398D-4edb-AF71-
3B830219ABF7}]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro
l\WDI\DiagnosticModules\{45DE1EA9-10BC-4f96-9B21-
4B6B83DBF476}]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\WDI\D
iagnosticModules\{C0F51D84-11B9-4e74-B083-99F11BA2DB0A}]
3.Once done, reboot your PC to save changes. Now you won’t see
any memory warning’s including “Your Computer Is Low On
Memory.“
