Seems like your gpu ran out of memory. Memory leak i guess, or a bug. If its not the pagefile, then no idea.

MORE SPEED · 24 Jan 2013 at 20:59

Which drivers are you using for the GPU?

Nickolp1974 · 24 Jan 2013 at 21:23

13.1

just looped heaven on extreme, with cpu at stock and gfx at stock and there is a definate jerkiness about it.
max temp on gpu 42c after 25mins of heaven

Nickolp1974 · 24 Jan 2013 at 21:54

So whats next, drivers??

Wind up the speed on the CPU, heaven likes high CPU speeds. It could be this causing the jerkiness.

Ok will try, thx

Just found this

Windows vista/7 32 bit only

* In Windows 7/Vista go to Start menu. Go to Accessories. Locate the command prompt shortcut and hover mouse over it. Right Click on the shortcut then select Run as Administrator.
* In the command prompt type this exactly: bcdedit /set increaseuserva 3072. Then hit enter.
* Make sure you get a message back confirming the change was made. To verify the entry is there you can type just bcdedit, hit enter, and you should see the entry now listed.
* Then close the command prompt. You just told Vista/ to increase user virtual address (userva) space to 3072MB.
* Changes take effect on reboot

What about 64bit??
Apparently worked for 1 guy

Nickolp1974 · 24 Jan 2013 at 22:27

Just checked the bcdedit, ACCESS DENIED

Nickolp1974 · 24 Jan 2013 at 22:30

This sounds more like it another answer to the same problem

Hi Olivia Aust,
That means you have lack of virtual memory, you have to add some more virtual memory by right clicking My computer, properties, advance system settings, then click the advance tab, click the settings under performance then advance again, under the virtual memory click change then add your desired size of memory depending on the free space of your hard drive, click ok, ok again and restart the computer before it take effect. You can also add GPU memory in CMOS setup.

Edit. In otherwords the page file, lol, well have increased it and will see how i get on but that will be tomorrow now.
