Windows 10: HELPPPPPPPPPP

Question

OK so how do i allocate more RAM to windows. How do i enable Minidumps?

The RAM issue i am having is it simply wont use more ram. I have tried watching YouTube tutorials and how they reset the maximum ram number.
but it keeps saying 8.00gb installed- 3.80gb usable.

Now the biggest problem i have: I am loading Minecraft with Opti Fine and a shader pack installed. I have an AMD Radeon 7950 with the latest AMD Radeon Adrenalin engine installed. So, whenever i load these shaders, the game crashes and says: Failed to write core dump. Minidumps are not enabled by default on client versions of windows.( I can link the full crash report if you want) And I did try to enable minidumps in the control panel and that didn't do anything.

So yeah. My PC needs serious help.

Answer 1

The images displayed 0 passes.

If you purchase RAM for the new motherboard:

a) Select RAM modules displayed on the QVL

b) Purchase in pairs with matching SKU

c) Consider RAM manufacturers that guarantee compatibility

d) Consider RAM manufacturers that have lifetime warranties

Answer 2

Summary:

1) Scannow integrity violations fixed

2) Settings for creation of BSOD dump files are now optimal
(there are BSOD if they occur, that may not create dump files)
(please maintain the current settings)

3) The inability to use the installed RAM is likely related to using untested RAM modules (RAM not displayed on the QVL)
(The hardware reserved remains very high despite using matched RAM indicating possible incompatible RAM)

4) See if you can open support tickets with Crucial and other RAM manufacturing companies

5) There was no new V2 posted so scanning cannot be performed to check for unexpected shutdowns and restarts
(incompatible RAM can cause unexpected shutdowns and restarts, BSOD, and high hardware reserved numbers)

Answer 3

Hi,
In Windows 10, access the computer properties and and click on Advanced System Settings to launch a dialogue box. Click System Properties and Settings again to open a new set of options. Choose the Adjust for Best Performance option and apply the changes. Restarting the computer will make the changes take effect and programs requiring more RAM will automatically receive that allocation.

The other option involves choosing to prioritize the RAM in a specific program. Open the "Task Manager" in Windows and click the Processes option and right click the desired priority process. Click Set Priority and the RAM will now focus on that specific program. It will speed up and operate more efficiently with the newly allocated RAM.

Also, it recommends that you set virtual memory to be no less than 1.5 times and no more than 3 times the amount of RAM on your computer. For power PC owners (like most UE/UC users), you likely have at least 2GB of RAM so your virtual memory can be set up to 6,144 MB (6 GB).
Go to the Start Menu and click on Settings. Type performance. Choose Adjust the appearance and performance of Windows. In the new window, go to the Advanced tab and under the Virtual memory section, click on Change.

In fact, the game can't use that much. I think you're probably talking about the total memory used of your 8GB not just what game uses. You can see what a program uses under Task Manager -> "Processes" however for games you normally have no control over assigning that.

Hope above information can help you.

Answer 4

Ok so I tested the other RAM slot and it didn't work. So I guess the ram problem cant be resolved... but what about the crash problem??

Answer 5

Please perform the following steps:

1) Run V2 > post a share link using one drive, drop box, or googl drive
https://www.windowsq.com/resources/v2-log-collector.8/
https://www.tenforums.com/bsod-crashes-debugging/2198-bsod-posting-instructions.html

2) Open administrative PS and copy and paste:

[Cmdletbinding()]
Param(
[string]$Computername = "localhost"
)
cls
$PysicalMemory = Get-WmiObject -class "win32_physicalmemory" -namespace "root\CIMV2" -ComputerName $Computername

Write-Host "Memore Modules:" -ForegroundColor Green
$PysicalMemory | Format-Table Tag,BankLabel,@{n="Capacity(GB)";e={$_.Capacity/1GB}},Manufacturer,PartNumber,Speed -AutoSize

Write-Host "Total Memory:" -ForegroundColor Green
Write-Host "$((($PysicalMemory).Capacity | Measure-Object -Sum).Sum/1GB)GB"

$TotalSlots = ((Get-WmiObject -Class "win32_PhysicalMemoryArray" -namespace "root\CIMV2" -ComputerName $Computername).MemoryDevices | Measure-Object -Sum).Sum
Write-Host "`nTotal Memory Slots:" -ForegroundColor Green
Write-Host $TotalSlots

$UsedSlots = (($PysicalMemory) | Measure-Object).Count
Write-Host "`nUsed Memory Slots:" -ForegroundColor Green
Write-Host $UsedSlots

If($UsedSlots -eq $TotalSlots)
{
Write-Host "All memory slots are filled up, none is empty!" -ForegroundColor Yellow
}

3) When this has completed > right click on the top bar or title bar of the administrative command prompt box > left click on edit then select all > right click on the top bar again > left click on edit then copy > paste into the thread

4) Open task manager > click performance tab > click memory > post an image or share link

5) Run the Crucial scanner > post a link with results into this thread

6) Is the computer having third party application dumps or Windows BSOD?
