Gigabyte P27K Low memory issue

[sean_seany]

Hi,

I recently purchased a Gigabyte P27K laptop from the OCUK store.

Here are the specs :

- CPU: Intel Core i7-4700MQ, 2.4~3.4GHz
- OS: Windows 8
- RAM: 8GB
- GPU: nVidia GeForce GTX 765M 2GB
- Storage: mSSD 128GB + 1TB HDD 5400rpm

Every time I play a game , be it Crysis 2 or 3 , Assassins Creed 4 or even FEAR 2 I get a Windows "low memory warning".

I have disabled most of the start up items and only have the stuff I need running. No bloat at all. I have ran my security software and everything has come up clean. I only use the laptop for playing games and use my other PC for general use.

My games are stored on the second HDD and the games clients are located on the SSD (Steam , Origin , uPlay) Everything works as it should , just the low memory warnings.

Any ideas as to the cause please. Not really sure what else to post but will post more info as needed.

Thanks.

To answer my own question , I did some Googling this morning and found the problem and a work around. Looks like its an issue with Windows 8.1 and not my machine.

The link below has a thread with some detailed information on a possible cause and solutions. Works for me.

Win 8 is rubbish on anything other than a tablet. The only good thing about it is the screen swipe ability. IMHO
