Dreaded ’System running low on memory’

[prohammy]

All,


Had a look at a couple of threads but wanted to start a new one on this.


I am running ProE W3 on a Dell Precision M90 (2.0 Ghz processor, 4Gb RAM and NVIDIA Quadro FX 3500 graphics card). Very little clutter on the hard disk, all ProE files saved to a server.....


My problem as above, 'System running low on memory etc.'. I have bumped cache settings up to 4092, emptied trail files and performed a virus scan, but still I get the error (now less frequent since the house keeping)when in a large assembly. One thing of note about the assemby, there are a lot of STEP file conversions (of Solidworks data) that are obviously quite 'heavy'.....


Any suggestions?

It's your xtop process that is running low on memory. Only thing you can do is use the "3 GB switch" that lets windoze use more than 2 GB per process. Search, there are literally a hundred threads on how to do it and the potential pitfalls.

I have been working on the same kind of thing for awhile now. Imported Solidworks files in my asmembly and my WF3 with windows just crashes out.. The whole thing just shuts down. I do not have problems with any of my other files. Rarely it will says that the system is running low of recources and that I should save, but mostly a complete instant crash of the whole thing.


I would like to tell you that I have a solution for you, but I don't. Just wanted to let you know that I can relate.
