Hmmm...I posted a reply but I don't see one. i guess I'll go again.

Anyways, I get this problem when I'm absolutely raping my system limits. Try turning off unneeded background programs, slowing down so it doesn't try to load too much too fast and tone down your settings. Upgrades don't do much when you're using up too much memory.

The video card is a large part to blame for this in my experience, you can transfer some of your RAM to work the video card only although I don't remember how to do this.

damnnnn.....yah i have nothing running at all when im using HL....i have tried messing around with my settings as well....i have tried changing my paging file n such...but that didnt work either....

 

[KaiN]

[DoctorWeeTodd]

What are your game settings? Have you ran a spyware check?

 

[KaiN]

ive defraged, disk clean up, lol...spyware check, etc my settings are on medium, then the shader and shadow is low....and vsync disabled

 

[KaiN]

[DoctorWeeTodd]

or wait do u mean my settings like color, and resolution??

Including those...I had to uninstall some games before because they won't even open let alone crash with specific res settings.

 

[KaiN]

[KaiN]

[KaiN]

[KaiN]

[DoctorWeeTodd]

Is this only a recent occurance or did it always happen with HL2 (and apparently other Source games?)

 

[KaiN]

i never gotten this message before on this comp with ne of my games, such as far cry, Doom 3, The Matrix Online, and other games lol...but its been giving me it since i first got this game first it was settign back to defualt settings, then i finally got that to work and actually load the game, then it was restartng i fixed that finally, now i got this memory error lol

 

[KaiN]
