Virtual memory is nothing but the extended memory which is different from the device memory. The virtual memory is the combination of RAM and some portion of the hard disc. If the device runs out of RAM when performing an intensive execution, Window would dip into virtual memory for temporary file storage.

  • On the keyboard, tap windows key and Pause or break key simultaneously.
  • After that, you should choose Advanced System Settings on the left panel.
  • Go to the Advanced option, then tap Settings.
  • Again when you go to the Advanced tab then select 'Change..' in the virtual memory section.
  • Here a Window user should ensure the Automatically manage paging file size for all drives check box in NOT ticked.
  • Now come to the Windows drive and enter the initial size and larger size for your virtual memory.

Initial Size: As per the configuration of your computer this value changes. If somehow you are not sure about what value you need to use, just enter whatever the number is in the Recommended category.

Larger Size: The value of this section should not be too high. Maintain the size near about 1.5 times the size of your physical RAM. Here is the example, A computer with 4 GB of RAM must not more than about 6,144 MB virtual memory (4096MB * 1.5).

  • when you are sure that you have entered the virtual memory values, click 'Set', then click OK to move further.

In case the problem is sustaining yet then try the fix.

This time since you have come up so far, therefore, you have to check the status of your hard disk that it should not be faulty. There is nothing to worry about because the verification process is quite easy. The Windows created a build in tool for this job.

  • Here you need to shut down all the programs and files.
  • Click Start then File Explorer then This PC and move forward.
  • Check and move to the hard drive that you like to check, put right click on it and choose Properties.
  • Now jump to the Tools and hit the Check.

In case you find your hard drive error less then a message would be displayed that your hard disk is NOT the problem. If this is true you can move forward to the next fix.
