Default Dirt 2 Memory problems???
I keep getting this ever since I went dual monitor eyefinity. ( Triple to come as soon as I find another T240 or T240HD )



Huh? I have 4gb of ram and nothing running in the background. Memtest86 found nothing wrong...not one error.

Do I need another set of ripjaws???? Or another 5850 XXX? Oy!!!!

If you are forcing a pagefile size under performance options in computer properties, change it to system managed size.

I have no pagefile. I get rid of that for extra performance.

Everything is updated.

Re-enable it. And as has been stated, let windows manage it.

Did that as well....still doing it.

Very strange.

Even does it when I disable Eyefinity.

Is your game up-to-date? And is it legit?

Looks like you can disable it though with some registry hacking: Disabling the "Close programs to prevent information loss" dialog in Vista I know it's for Vista, but I'm guessing Windows 7 is similar.

It is a LIVE game so it autoupdates itself....and as for legit...yes I got it as a gift from the Direct2Drive weekly sale.

It happened with L4D a while back when I had 4gb of RAM with SSD.

The problem still lies with page files. What drive are you using? if you can, increase the size of page files.
