    is this anything to worry about i turned on my computer monitor after i left it on all night i probably wouldn't think anything of this if this poped up on my desktop but it poped up here on my computer were you enter your  windows account the only 3 programs running in the background when i stopped using it for the night was windows media player internet explorer and a photo resizer none had anything running 

    you have to sign into computerhope in your account to see the picture

    If you weren't doing anything, a background process consumed all your RAM, this points to malware, to me.

    the number if times I've EVER seen it I could count on my hand- and I ran XP with 96MB of RAM.

    876543219, next time you get this message, check task manager->processes tab, and see what is consuming the most memory.

    I have only dealt with that message in two scenarios: McAfee software causing conflicts...and infections.  I've never managed to have enough programs running to cause this error.  I'm not saying that it's an infection, but it's a possibility.  Even if it's not, there's still an issue somewhere.  I would suggest following BC's advice.
