March 27, 20206 yr I hope I am in the right forum. I have been getting the mesage below for the past week, which is puzzling. Your computer has run out of available memory. Please restart flight simulator and select different graphics, senery or traffic settings. I have not had this problem before as everything ran very smoothly prior to last week. My sim is FSX, my OS is Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, my card is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980, 8192MB RAM, 4095 MB approx total memory. Again, I had no prior issues. Any assistance in troubleshooting will be greatly appreciated.
March 27, 20206 yr One thought, when did you last reboot your machine. Sometimes memory get corrupted and needs to be restarted. Also, have you installed something recently that may be running in background? You also might ensure that nothing unnecessary is running in background and you might also stop some of the background services. Jim Driskell James M Driskell, Maj USMC (Ret)
March 27, 20206 yr Do a search on the forums for FSX VAS and OOM issues this down to the 32bit limit of FSX if you put to much load detail on the sim it can crash with Out Of Memory issue Raymond Fry.
March 27, 20206 yr Please review the specs you posted. Did you mean GB instead of MB? Bob i5, 16 GB ram, GTX 960, FS on SSD, Windows 10 64 bit, home built works anyway.

Jim Driskell I've turned the machine off and restarted it, but I still get the same issue after running FSX for a while.
March 27, 20206 yr Author Thank you all for the helpful suggestions. I will continue to troubleshoot...

You have a 64-bit operating system and that is preferred, but with only 4 GB of system RAM you are running out of system RAM. It could be a program that you recently installed is loading during startup and using more system RAM or perhaps you added something to FSX and it is using up more system RAM. Since you have a 64-bit operating system, you might look into new RAM, going to 8 GB. Odds are that your operating system and background programs and processes are not going to use more than 2 GB, 3 at the very most, and FSX would be able to use its full maximum of 4 GB.
