    Windows 8 - or Windows 8.1? I've found suggestions of a bug in DX11.2 causing leaking memory commits (they don't show up as used memory in task manager/resource monitor but still consume all your memory). If you're on Win 8.1 that might be causing it.

    Re: Low Memory Warning? What?

    OK the system feels snappier now. Some Windows update and a restart and there has been no message. Odd.

    Someone suggested on another forum to disable the onboard GPU option in the BIOS, in case it was allocating memory also.


    I haven't had the memory issue, maybe it was just a simple Windows update file? I'll upgrade to Win 8.1 also.

    Thanks for everyone's help

    A bad Windows Defender update looks to be high on the likely list for that bug, then. Pleased you have a working computer back now (and I expect your Mother's pleased to get her laptop back, too) .

    DX9 runtime installed.

    Also it's Windows 8. Thinking maybe it's because the chipset is very new? A88X. I bought my Windows 8 key when it first came out (The Windows 8 Pro Upgrade key) so maybe there wasn't any support for these chips?

    A bad Windows Defender update looks to be high on the likely list for that bug, then. Pleased you have a working computer back now (and I expect your Mother's pleased to get her laptop back, too) .
    Ha, yeah strange issue.


    Cheers for the help all any other issues and I'll post back.
