Hey ho,
Two weeks ago i'v re installed my computer. Before one week i re-installed Battlefield 4 and i startet playing. I noticed a error message that told me that there is not enough memory is available. I'v never had this error before. After 2 weeks of testing and finding the problem i noticed that everytime i run a game at another resolution than my desktop resolution my virtual memory is linea filling up to 100%. After it reaches the 100% mark, the Windows Error message shows up and it wants me to close the game that i'm playing. If i run the game at the same resolution than the desktop resolution or in windowed mod this doesnt happen. If i switch back to the desktop, the virtuel memory is will be cleared again.
What i'v already tried:
- Re-installed DirectX
- Repaire Visual Studio 2013
- Cleaned and re-installed Nvidia and Intel HD drivers
- Used a old version of Nvidia drivers
- Used a old version of Intel HD drivers
- Re-installed Windows 8 Intel chipset drivers and sata
- Different amounts of virtual memory
- Moved the virtual memory from sdd to hdd
- Checkdisc
- Re-installed the games
- Checked memory usage and programms
- De-installed Avira AntiVir
- Re-installed Windows 8.1
My system
- Intel i7-3610QM
- 8,00 GB - 1600MHz
- 120 GB SSD
- 1 TB HDD
- Nvidia Geforce GT650M - 2 G
- Intel HD 4000 - 256 MB
- Asus N76VZ Notebook
- Virtual memory on SSD 8 GB to 16 GB
- Windows 8.1 64x
- Avira AntiVir

All I did was just updating Windows 8.1 with Windows Update. Then it was fixed after I installed the August 2014 rollup (KB2975719). Try that first!

As I said in two earlier posts, I already tried Windows Update. It said, and still says, my system is up to date. My update history shows that I've had KB2975719 installed since 8/13.

Is there any progress from Intel on this matter? I'm unable to install the hotfix (due to it "not being applicable"), and really don't want to resort to reinstalling windows! I would say this is a pretty massive issue considering pretty much every laptop under the sun these days has a combination of intel + nvidia/amd gpus!

We do not have an ETA but we are still checking and investigating. Sorry for the delay.

I am also going to test again tonight. But the problem should be gone after your Windows 8.1 is up to date. Check Windows Update for new available updates.
I will try to reply again within 48 hours with an updated solution.

In case anyone's wondering, this bug's still not fixed. I have to reboot my laptop every couple days. Ever since I installed Windows 8.1, so it's been almost a year! Unbelievable.
And again, Windows Update does not fix it.

This is pretty ridiculous this issue has existed since 8.1 was released and there are now 20 pages on the microsoft forums about the issue.

A lot of people talking about who's responsible. Honestly it doesn't matter. Microsoft and Intel are huge companies. It honestly doesn't matter who is responsible. People need to stop pointing fingers, work together and get this fixed. Changing your desktop resolutions for a specific application is just silly.

I reluantly upgraded to Windows 8.1 because AMD dropped support for windows 8. The truth is windows 8 is better for gaming than 8.1. I also started experiencing the pagefile spike when playing games in fullscreen. I've tried everything, even installed my original drivers but it keeps re-occurring. Before 8.1 my Windows Experience Index was 7.2, 7.9, 6.7, 6.7, 5.9 (6.7s being for gaming) but now its 7.4, 7.5, 5.9, 5.7, 5.9. My system specs are
Intel Core i5-3230M
8GB RAM
Radeon HD 7670M + Intel HD 4000
Windows 8.1
I tried the latests windows update and Intel graphics driver update but to no avail. Windows 8.1 is a mess. And I don't advise any gamer to upgrade cos its not worth the headache.
Intel should release a driver update to minimize this frustrating issue.
The only temporary solution is to run the game on the same resolution as ur desktop. Although it doesn't work for all games cos I still experience it even after doing that when playing Assassins Creed 3.
I hope this is resolved fast cos its six months now and still no solution

It looks to me, tentatively, like this may have been fixed by some update around two weeks ago. Stay tuned.

I would be very interested to hear about your findings! in Windows Updates, two new optional updates have appeared for me; a new Intel graphics driver and the "November 2014 update rollout" which mentions some memory leak fixes but nothing specific to graphics... I'm not getting my hopes up though!

Looks to me like it's fixed. None of these crashes in about three weeks, after the last (or second last) batch of Windows Updates. Before that I was needing to reboot 2-3 times a week. If anyone has details, do tell.
