Please capture the screen that is stating "Low Memory"

I have a hunch it is Steam, not Windows, that is generating this msg.




What game?

How much vram does your 960 have?

Have you disable the Windows Paging File?

Did you check the Windows Resource monitor, to check how much memory is in use when running a game via Steam?

What are the system specifications required by Steam for running the games you use?

That should not be happening with 8gb of RAM. I have this issue on my old laptop with 2gb of RAM but that is understandable. On my old laptop I set the page file larger and that removes the error, here is how to do it.


Search "This PC"
Right click on it and select properties
Click advanced system settings
Click settings under performance
Click advanced

Under "Virtual Memory" what does it say?

Click change
Uncheck "Automatically determine....."
Select your boot drive
Set minimum size to 2048
Set Maximum to 4096

Apply changes and restart.



This is not a proper solution for your problem however, generally with SSD based systems I disable the pagefile to prolong the life of my SSDs and 2 of my 3 systems run 8gb of RAM. Neither of those systems ever shows a low memory warning. Something you are using has a memory leak, likely not windows. What other apps/drivers etc do you have installed and what internet browser are you using?

I would hope that Microsoft tech support would have told the OP all of the things we have asked about.

If not, that is unbelievable. For all we know, they may have done all of these things already.

You need to find a free image hosting website, there are many out there. Just search on free image hosting, choose one, create an account, and upload your pictures. When you select a picture, on the website's page there should be links to the picture. You copy the text of the link by highlighting it, left click on it and select Copy.

You must use the forums Advanced Editor, which is opened by clicking the arrow on the top line of the Quick Reply editor shown at the bottom of a thread.

In the forum's Advanced Editor, at the top is an Insert Image icon, it looks like a tree in a square. Click on that, a box will appear, and you Paste the link text into the Image URL area. You can click Preview to see if the link works. No need to set any of the Width or Height options normally. Click OK when done.

The image should appear in your post like this, a sample from the Insert Image option:



I wonder is Steam does not like XFast LAN? Does not make sense but who knows.

Just FYI, I don't recall ever seeing someone having this problem in this forum, meaning it is not common.
