[Out of memory error]: Crashed @ 128GB & 237GB virtual memory committed
Posted: Thu Aug 24, 2023 6:25 am
It consumed all 64GB RAM.
Crashed at 128GB with an error I've not seen before: .\src\mem.c(1124): mem_alloc(): Fatal error: out of memory 137438953472
(137438953472 = 128Gibibyte).
& somehow Virtual Memory Committed managed to reach 237,094MB. I was refactoring my bookmarks & macros & probably had 6-7 different search windows open plus the bookmarks, setting, & filters windows. It was definitely being abused.
I've had, I believe, the same crash happen enough times on my old PC I've learned long ago to close & reopen Everything every 30min-ish whenever creating/experimenting with macros, functions, bookmarks, & filters. The time elapsed doesn't actually matter. It can happen anytime. But changes
to bookmarks, filters, settings, etc. don't save until everything is closed & it sucks to lose a half hour of whatever I was changing.
On this new PC I neglected to force my changes to save bcus with substantially more power & ram, I thought maybe it wouldn't happen.
I was wrong.
The error on the new PC is a little different but seems the same I've always encountered - just taken to the extreme bcus of the additional resources. On the old PC there was 32GB RAM & 32GB set pagefile limit. I'd know when Everything was getting close to crashing bcus the whole PC would slow down. The new PC didn't really slow down. I did notice Explorer was slow to render & some of my chrome tabs refreshed, but I didn't think anything of it because it was still responsive.
I don't consider this too big of an issue since I'm abusing it It also only happens once in a blue moon (like when I'm abusing it).
If you're interested & have time I can supply the 1MB kernel.dmp, 10MB mini.dmp, & possibly the 2GB compressed full dump (123GB when extracted).
-------------
EDIT: Usually it would just crash and generate an event in the EventViewer & not save any of my changes. This was the first time it was a graceful shutdown with an error dialog. I clicked OK shortly after and it managed to still save the various csv files & database which was a nice surprise. No event was generated for the EventViewer.
