An Out of memory error occurs when a program or operating system cannot allocate enough RAM to perform the requested operation.
Some reasons for the Out of memory error:
– Insufficient amount of RAM. This is especially true if, in addition to running several MoonBot terminals, you also perform other resource-intensive tasks on your home computer, such as gaming, video editing, and working with large databases.
– Memory Leak. Errors in the program code occur when the program allocates memory but does not release it after use.
– There are too many running programs. Running a large number of programs at the same time can cause all available RAM to be occupied.
– Page files are too large. A swap file is a file on a hard disk that is used by Windows as an extension of RAM. If the size of the swap file is too large, this may indicate inefficient memory usage. We recommend reading about the correct configuration of the swap file on the Internet.
– Corrupted drivers. Corrupted or outdated drivers, especially graphics cards, can cause memory leaks.
– Viruses and malware. Viruses and malware can occupy system resources, including RAM.
– Problems with the equipment. In rare cases, an Out of memory error may be caused by a malfunction of the RAM or other computer components.
To fix the Out of memory error, you can try the following steps::
– Close unnecessary programs. This will free up RAM.
– Restart the computer. A reboot will clear the RAM and close all running processes, which may help fix temporary problems.
– Increase the amount of RAM. This is especially effective if you often have to work with resource-intensive applications.
– Check the RAM. You can use a tool to check RAM (for example, Windows Memory Diagnostic).
– Optimize virtual memory. For example, you can set the size of the swap file to automatic so that the system can determine the required volume by itself.
