Hello, For the last couple of weeks my PC has been unable to run games such as Dying Light because the OS shuts them and itself (sometimes) down citing a lack of memory.

I'm on 8 gb's of ddr3 with a 4790k on Win 10 pro.
As I said it's always been plenty until recently so I want to test my memory is okay and rule that out.

Can someone suggest some programs I can download to test it with please Thanks.

Yes, memtest86+ is what you need. If at first you don't get any errors, then test each stick at a time and in different slots to rule out a motherboard issue.

Your problems could be caused by a memory leak elsewhere in the system. How much memory is being used while the system is at idle?
