Question

Yesterday you installed a new game on your computer. When you ran the computer, you noticed that the application was running very slow. After you exited the game and restarted it, you received an error message saying, "Insufficient memory or disk space." You checked your hard drive and saw that you had more than 250GB of free space.

What should you check next in Task Manager?
- Amount of RAM available.
- Amount of processor being used.
- Amount of disk space being used by the application.
- Amount of processes being used by the application.

Answer 1

- A) Amount of RAM available

Answer 2

Amount of RAM available

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever a process is taking more memory than available the extra data is being written to a file page of HDD/SSD.

When the process requires data to be stored in the file page, this data is retrieved from HDD/SSD and swapped with RAM data which is sent back to page file.

Transferring to HDD/SDD is always slower than accessing RAM.

If RAM is full there is a bottle neck for your gaming and hence the error.
