I know that Firefox can eat memory at times and I frequently use Task Manager to 'End Process Tree' and restart it.
I'm quite sure that I am not running any more programs and open windows than I used to when I had only 6GB RAM yet I never got a warning back then.
For an experiment I have just loaded a lot more apps than usual (screen shot 2) and taken a snapshot of Task Manager Processes and Performance. At this point I will say that I haven't received the warning but I could have half those apps running and I will get it
I think FF can be part of the cause: as I type I can see its memory usage creep up and it's now at around 536000 from what it was at the snapshot below a few minutes ago.

Quote from: Strat Vegas100 is grabbing quite a chunk of memory. Would that be Sony Vegas Pro software?
Yes. Vegas Pro 10 64.
But I have had this memory issue when not even running Vegas

Also a search for Vegas Pro low memory throws up a lot of reports and even mentions that closing it leaves some memory hogging processes running
What is your free disk space like and are you running a 64 bit or 32 bit version

Can't find that Minimize memory usage button, though I'm running the latest version.

Quote from: ejs If you go to about:memory in Firefox, there's a "Minimize memory usage" button at the bottom.

@GrahamC That's probably it. I set the paging file to zero for the C: (Boot) drive as its an SSD. I have now set a System managed file on one of my other internal drives to see if that helps.
