A more specific case of "How do I make the Windows low memory warning less sensitive?". Please don't migrate this post to Arqade; I was directed to post this question here from Arqade.
I just got a new top-of-the-line Sager/Clevo laptop running Windows 8.1 Pro, and it passes the Crysis (2007) benchmark maxed out with flying colors. However, I'm getting low-memory warnings from Windows:
Close programs to prevent information loss
Your computer is low on memory. Save your files and close these programs:
Crysis.exe
Crysis is definitely not using an inordinate amount of memory. According to the Task Manager, the system has 8 GB of RAM of which less than 3 GB are in use, with Crysis having allocated only 218 MB of memory. Obviously, this warning is not justified. Why is Windows giving this warning, and what can I do?
The specifications of the Dragon as follows:
- CPU: Intel Core i7-4800MQ, 4 cores (8 threads), 2.7 GHz
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M, 4GB GDDR5
- Memory: 8GB DDR3 1600 MHz (2x4GB)
- Storage: 750 GB 7200 RPM hard drive
- OS: Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit
