Solution Steps
- 1 First, close any unnecessary programs to free up system resources. Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to open Task Manager. Go to the 'Processes' tab and sort by memory usage. Right-click any high-memory processes you don't need and select 'End task'. This frees up memory and internal structures.
- 2 Restart your computer. This clears all memory and resets internal structures. It's the simplest fix and often resolves the error.
- 3 If the error persists, increase the system's virtual memory. Press Windows key + R, type 'sysdm.cpl' and press Enter. Go to the 'Advanced' tab, under 'Performance' click 'Settings', then go to the 'Advanced' tab again. Under 'Virtual memory', click 'Change'. Uncheck 'Automatically manage paging file size for all drives', select your system drive, choose 'Custom size', and set Initial size and Maximum size to 1.5 times your RAM (e.g., if you have 8 GB RAM, set to 12288 MB). Click 'Set' and 'OK'. This gives Windows more memory to work with.
- 4 Check for memory leaks. Open Task Manager and monitor memory usage over time. If a specific program's memory usage keeps increasing, it might have a leak. Update or replace that program.
- 5 Run a system file check to ensure no system files are corrupted. Open Command Prompt as administrator and run 'sfc /scannow'. This repairs any corrupted files that might be causing resource issues.
- 6 If the error occurs during network operations, you might need to increase the number of network structures. This requires a registry change. Press Windows key + R, type 'regedit' and press Enter. Navigate to 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters'. Create a new DWORD (32-bit) value named 'MaxUserPort' and set it to 65534 (decimal). Also create 'TcpTimedWaitDelay' and set it to 30. Restart your PC. This increases the number of available network connections.
