    Windows 10 Blue Screen -- Memory running low


    Hi All,

    I'm trying to download the debug tool but in the meantime if someone can help I would appreciate it. My boss's computer started developing blue screens. He also notices that the service host keeps increasing in memory and then gets the low memory error before it crashes. I had this actually happen to my machine but I thought it was related to iTunes. I had to re-format my laptop in order to fix it.

    I tried to upload the mini-dump file but was getting invalid file. I have uploaded it to wikisend.

    Wikisend: free file sharing service

    Any help would be appreciated as to what may be causing this.

    Thanks,
    Nick

    Please read BSOD Posting Instructions

    The site doesn't accept dump files to be uploaded directly, you have to zip it to upload them.

    If you may not run the tool from the posting instructions because of rules from your organisation, please upload the dumps in a zip file.

    It is a 0x116(VIDEO_TDR_FAILUR) which is related to the graphics as the dump says
    Code:

    This could be caused by a few things.
    • drivers
    • damaged GPU
    • dust
    • not properly seated
    • cooling issues

    A damaged GPU is usually due to cooling issues, but I have separated them because in some cases you might be in time to notice it.

    Please uninstall everything of Intel graphics using Display Driver Uninstaller and install new drivers from AMD

    Please check inside the case for any dust and remove it, simultaneously make sure the GPU is properly seated.

    If all above haven't helped, the GPU needs to be stressed to test the GPU and the cooling system.
    Note   Note
    Please read the tutorial carefully, not watching carefully at the temperatures could damage the GPU due to overheating.

    I reinstalled the drivers. I think this was just a side issue. The main problem is that the System process is comsuming over 6GB of memory and just continues to increase. I killed the background process and it seems that the use percentage is dropping now. I had this issue before on another laptop but had to re-image the box.

    Has anyone seen this issue? The laptop has 8GB of memory.

    Please make a screenshot of the processes taking all the memory and post it.
