    Windows 7 memory error
    « on: July 14, 2011, 02:31:35 PM »
    I have a user that gets an error when he logs into his system the error reads "Out of memory or system resources. Close some windows or programs and try again."

    Now this is the setup he has:  (new system, 7 days old)
    ·         Intel Core i5-2400 Processor
    ·         Genuine Microsoft Windows® 7 Professional 64-bit
    ·         4GB PC3-10600 1333 MHZ DDR3 UDIMM (1 DIMM)
    ·         Intel® vPro™ technology
    ·         500GB 8MB cache 7200 RPM SATA II

    When looking at the system you see that win 7 Recognizes the 4gb of ram but can only use 3.something of it.
    I have no idea what is wrong with it, i have tried everything from re-seating the RAM to running memtests on it. Nothing will* comeback with a failure code or resolution.

    Review the settings for that MBoard and adjust accordingly...
    I do not think it's a Windows issue...
    Is the RAM the proper style for the board and on the approved vendor list ? ?
    And if i'm reading right is that 1 stik of 4G RAM ? ?  If so was the OS installed in this condition and how long did you let MemTest run ? ?

    Also if you get a chance Post the MBoard info...i don't see that above.

      I will try and get the BOIS settings for the RAM/Mobo and also I will be looking at the virtual memory within Win7
      I do not have the specs on the mobo.
      We bought the lenovo ThinkCenter M91p, for our company deployment, and had Win7 imaged on them before they shipped from China.
      So yes the RAM is proper for that mobo.
      And yes you are...1 stick of 4gb :p I let the mem test run for a day with no errors

      Will keep you updated on the info i find

      Have you checked to see if the System Properties? See if windows is managing the memory or if your user played with the settings.

        I have found the issue. Its not the windows system or the hardware at all.
        It is an outlook issue. The new systems that are deployed were installed with PST timezone so when we updated them outlook freaked out and tried to update but in the process of updating it ran out of RAM that outlook allocates for itself thus resulting in the "out of memory" error.

        dam you microsoft!!!
        But its all better now.
        Thanks for the replies guys
