Lots of DirectX issues

was able to print screen the error. This was while playing BF4:

DirectX function "GetDeviceRemovedReason" failed with E_OUTOFMEMORY ("Direct3D could not allocate sufficient memory to complete the call."). GPU: Nvidia Geforce GTX 980", Driver: 35560. Free virtual memory: 4277234660kb / 4294967168kb. Total resource
memory: 0kb. Make sure you have a supported graphics card with at least 512 MB.

There ya go. As I have 980s this shouldn't be an issue. This is the same with a lot of my games but not all of them.

 

DirectX 12 upload heap allocation in multi socket systems.

Dear all,

does anyone know if it somehow possible to allocate with CreateCommittedResource a upload heap that resides in the memory of CPU 2? We have a dual socket Xeon v4 system and to each CPU there is a GPU attached over its PCIe lanes. We would like to allocate
memory for GPU1 on CPU1 and for GPU2 on CPU2, which seems to work for regular system memory using the Windows Numa APIs. However for the DirectX 12 upload heaps it seems that it does not adhere the windows memory allocation rules for Numa, and simply always
places them in the memory of CPU1.

Best,

Chi

 

error: HAL MEMORY ALLOCATION

Hi Carson, my name is Martin and I'm an Independent Advisor. I'll try to help you here.

The HAL MEMORY ALLOCATION error and 0x000000AC error code mean that the hardware abstraction layer (HAL) could not obtain sufficient memory.

I suggest that you follow the methods provided below:

Method 1. Try running the Windows Memory Diagnostic to check the memory installed on your computer.

1. Press and hold Windows + R buttons to open Run box.

2. Type mdsched and click on OK.

3. Click on Restart.

Method 2. Try booting your PC into Safe Mode to check if the issue persists.

1. Press and hold the Windows + I buttons to open Settings.

2.Select Update & security > Recovery.

3. Under Advanced startup, select Restart now.

4.Your PC restarts > Choose an option screen > select Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Settings > Restart.

5. Select 4 or F4 to start your PC in Safe Mode.

If the issue doesn’t persist in the Safe Mode, reset the Memory settings in msconfig from Safe Mode and check if the PC boots normally.
