In today's world, working on a PC is irreplaceable.But sometimes users are faced with problems that prevent them from performing any tasks. To such troubles include the incompatibility of the program and the capabilities of the computer, mechanical breakdowns and, of course, lack of memory. It happens that a person tries to install the application he needs, but receives an error and a message in response: "There is not enough memory in the system". It is about the options for solving this problem and will be discussed.
Virtual and random memory: how to understand what exactly is missing?
When a message occurs:"There is not enough memory in the system" the user is usually lost and can not understand what is happening at all. It is necessary to know what steps to take in dealing with such a problem. Many users mistakenly believe that the space on the hard drive - this is the whole memory of the PC. Usually such an opinion has newcomers. Therefore, when a message appears ("there is not enough memory in the system, save the files and close the programs"), what this means is that not all understand. This is how the problem is solved.
First you need to figure out which onesoftware has a difficulty. No matter which version of Windows a person uses, the computer always uses RAM from the beginning. Virtual memory is inherently part of the operational one. Therefore, if a user discovers a warning that there is not enough memory in the system, he should understand the following: if there is not enough space, the PC accesses the Windows paging file.
Causes of this error
In order to solve the problem, it is necessary to understand what could have caused it. The reasons can be as follows:
- open too many applications, they all occupy an impressive amount of space;
- the computer itself has little RAM;
- the hard disk is filled to capacity and there is simply no free space for virtual memory;
- the user manually set the paging file size too small, and it is not enough for the computer to function properly;
- some application takes up too much space;
- a problem with the program that produces error messages like "There is not enough memory in the system".
These cases are the most commonamong users. Almost all of them can be solved by the owner of a laptop computer or laptop. So, there is not enough memory in the system. How to fix this situation?
What if there is not enough RAM?
Getting rid of this error is not as difficult asit seems. If all the difficulty is in the amount of RAM, then it's enough to just buy an additional RAM module. This detail is now not very expensive and many will be afforded. Again, one must understand that if the PC itself is old, it is easier not to buy additional memory. This upgrade may not meet expectations. Then it's better to save money for a new computer.
Few hard disk space
To date, the amount of hard disk memoryimpressively huge. But even with the size of the disc, for example, in terabytes, it often turns out that the user scored it under the string, and the space there remained literally to gigabytes. This often leads to slow computer operation.
Every user should know that the memorythe computer though and is great in the majority of modern models, but it is far not boundless. And it makes no sense constantly to save unnecessary files, programs and movies. At least once a month (and then with occasional use), you should check the system for unused files and, if possible, get rid of them. This can be done manually or with additional software. In addition, the anti-virus scan also cleans the PC, cleaning it from malware.
Windows paging file
Some users sometimes change theircomputer very important data, and then do not know how to fix everything back. And they suffer, more often than not, that there is not enough memory in the system, how to fix it (Windows 10 is especially notable for this problem) - it's also unclear. And the fact that you manually changed the size of the paging file, and do not remember. Some users generally disable this file. So, if a system crashes, and then a warning about lack of space appears, you need to check if the paging file is enabled and, if necessary, increase its size.
Sometimes users install programs foroptimize the work of the PC. And already these upgrades start to manage and change the size of the swap file or completely disconnect it. In this case, it is recommended to disable the action of this program or delete it.
One of the installed programs takes all the memory
It also happens that one of the establishedthe application crashes and starts to take up too much space. Then the user may also have a question like: "There is not enough memory in the system (Windows 10), what to do about this problem?" It's simple. For a start, you can check the program for viruses. Malicious applications often cause such an error. If the program is not pirated and does not harm the PC, then most likely, it was some kind of mistake. In this case, you need to understand first of all with the application itself.
In other versions of Windows, of course, there aresuch misunderstandings. If the question "There is not enough memory in the system (Windows 7), what should I do if the program crashes?" You need to call the task manager and see how the processes are going. When you open the Processes tab, you must sort everything by the "Memory" column and determine which program is responsible for the lack of space.
If the application with the largest coverage of the place- the right one, and removing it will disrupt the operation of the whole PC, then you need to somehow reconfigure this software. Depending on the program that caused the problem, the solutions can also be different. In extreme cases, you can try to reinstall the program.
But if a process that takes up a lot of memory,is unknown and itself suspicious, you need to immediately turn to the network and by the name of the object to find out what it is and how to save the computer from its presence.
Nothing helped: what to do?
It happens that the problem can not be solved by anyway. Neither the change of software, nor the addition of iron does not help. In this case, it's a good idea to compare the age of the computer and the requirements of the programs installed on it. Perhaps that is why there are problems.
Many forums discuss such difficulties.You can search for solutions there. If this does not help, it makes sense to turn to technical support. It's enough just to describe your problem, and the developers will advise how to make the PC more efficient.
Finally
Most often, memory problems are caused bycomputer games. It is recommended that you carefully check the compatibility of computer capabilities and the requirements of the game, otherwise there is a risk of experiencing a lack of memory.
Beginners-users can do it on their owncreate a problem by changing the memory settings or by mistake installing malicious software. You should check the installation files. In addition, downloading programs from unofficial sites can also cause the computer to malfunction. If on the official sites there is no necessary program, you need to check at least reviews about the application. With these simple rules, you can save your PC from many problems.
