BSODs, Low Performance, FPS Drops.

I wouldnt normally suggest this, but since you seem to have tried so much, its probably worth a try. Getting the correct up to date drivers is not always as straight forward as it seem. Try using driverbooster (http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/driver_booster_beta.html)and letting it update all drivers except gpu is if tries (uninstall driverbooster after and ignore the bogus 1 driver ad! There maybe other programs out there like this, but I have found this the easiest and works pretty quick and fairly well, at least for myself and did help me sort some of my own issues).

Failing anything else, you may have to go back to basics:

Remove all unneeded hardware and reset the cmos (normally jumper on mb or remove battery for a few mins):
Remove all hdd/ssd apart from main drive
Remove all usb devices (maybe even try different kb/mouse)
Deffo take the sound card out and 1 of the gpus
Check all power cables
Even though your temps are just fine, it probably worth checking the cooler is securely on but not too tight (this has been known to cause problems if too tight, but its rare)
Only use 2 ram sticks at run at 1333

Test for as long as you are happy, then add each thing back in slowly and test after each. Its a pain but needs must!

Tried again increasing my Virtual Memory but still had the same issues. Overclock has been removed also after a fresh format / chipset / bios updates. but still having a Low Virtual Memory Warning whilst playing ARK: Survival Evolved.

Could this be related to a hardware fault of any sort?

when you launch Ark you get options for memory size - low memory, extreme low memory. maybe check the low memory option? when i was playing i was using the low memory option and the graphics never changed imo.

I did try this at first and all was well, but I came back later, used the standard version.

When using the standard version again I had increased my initial paging file to 16GB and maximum size to 32GB. Doing this alone previously didn't prevent the low virtual memory as it still happened.

However I went into ark and unchecked the following options;

High Quality Materials
Sub Surface Scattering
High Quality VFX

I had the game loaded and playing for a full day yesterday, I had a much better / consistent average 45 FPS and not a single low virtual memory issue.

Could one of these settings be causing my PC to suffer from low virtual memory?

Also I'm planning on upgrading to a 1080 TI If / When its released. By doing this would this prevent a Low Virtual memory issue as I feel my GPU's aren't quite up to poke to run ARK with decent settings.

However I wouldn't have thought the GPU would cause low virtual memory.

I don't see how the gpu can be causing them problems either.

Did you try the koshyjohn software? If that works then maybe you can narrow the problem down a touch more?

Having low vm even at desktop with nothing else running is a strange one especially since you have 64gb ram. But I have exhausted all my knowledge about the subject already lol. Hope you find a solution soon.

Only have 16GB RAM.

The desktop problem hasn't happened for a long time, and that wasn't a virtual memory issue that was just the PC Turning off.

I will update my Original post with more specific info.
