Windows 10: Allocating page-locked memory with large RAM configurations

Hello,I have recently upgraded to a 1TB RAM configuration on my 7960 fixed tower workstation. This is a supported configuration and the machine powers on and runs fine. I am on Windows 11, with a A6000 GPU.However, I am now having issues with page-locking memory, and cannot allocate more than 2GB. This is not an issue for any other RAM configuration I have tried. I am trying to do this through CUDA - and typically receive an out of memory error. If it does succeed the screen freezes after a few seconds.Is there an issue with page-locked memory with such high RAM configurations?Thanks,Adam

Parameter "Allocated" in RAM

Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

Your memory usage looks normal, 'Allocated (committed) Memory' is not RAM, it is known as virtual address space and is allocated by the software running on your PC as what it may need in the future and some of this can be in RAM and some in Virtual Memory on your drive, rest assured, there is no indication of a problem with your memory usage.

 

Issues with total memory size of dedicated available RAM

Hello Gevorg,

Thank you for posting your concern in Microsoft Community an we regret for the inconvenience.

From the description provided, I understand that the motherboard you are using has 4 DIMM slots which supports up to 8 GB of dedicated RAM.

To be able to understand the issue better. let us know how are you viewing the total memory size of dedicated available RAM in your PC.

Now, in one case, if you are using more than one module of RAM, and the frequencies at which they operate are not the same. There will be two outcomes:

• The modules will conflict in terms of DIMM frequencies and it will declare memory failure.
• Instead of downclocking one or more RAM/s, the motherboard will reject the ones from being accepted.

In order to ascertain if the hardware is correctly configured, I suggest you to check the system information in the BIOS settings. Refer to the manufacturer provided manual to know more about on how to access the BIOS settings.

In another scenario, your computer may also be allocating part of your RAM to other hardware modules, such as your network hardware.

As a secondary workout, I suggest you to increase the Virtual Memory and check if it helps. Follow the steps below.

• 
  Click Windows key + R to open the RUN command utility and type
  msconfig.exe, then press ENTER.
  
• 
  Click on Boot option and select advanced options.
  
• 
  Check the maximum memory box and change the value accordingly.
  
• 
  Click on Apply and Ok to save changes and click Restart the computer.
  

Hope the above information is helpful.

Thank You.

 

Memory allocation

Just wondering if anyone knows how the memory use is allocated on an E65, if there's any way to change it so that more is allocated to certain functions, and also if there is any way to remove programs/applications that I'll never use (Quickoffice, Teamsuite,
etc).

Reason being - repeated "Memory full. Close some applications and try again" messages being given when the phone has large amounts of free space and no applications are running.
