I just skimmed this so maybe I missed it, but has OP actually run memtest on the system? If not... WHY NOT? Can't hurt. Same goes for any diagnostic tools that may be available from his HDD/SD manufacturer. These things would tell you right away if there's something borked and leave no room for continually guessing if that's actually the issue or not.

Don't think so. Sombody told him not to as mem test is unreliable.

Buy he definately should run it a d HDD tools as well as an sfc /scannow prompt.

Also what's your page file set too?
Can you monitor your memory usage in task manager/ get something like afterburner to log it for the next time you get the lack of memory error.

My best guess on this - STAY OFF THE PORN SITES lol

Actually, a virus is the most likely culprit from the first couple of posts I read. The changing of resolutions is an old old old joke virus, but its functionality my have been coopted in new ways.

First, an BEFORE U UPGRADE, install a GOOD anti-virus software. MS AV sucks arse, so stay away from it. Kaspersky, while good, seems way to friendly with the Kremlin for my taste. Its good, but I think the Russians are in too many of our computers already (darn good hackers over there lol). Norton is a bloated glitching pig of an AV, but it detects a lot more of the viruses than we give them credit for. I am only saying go with Norton because there are not really any other quality detection suites out there besides these two. And before I get flamed, yes, Avast is OK, but it still misses a lot of viruses.

Second, the missing segments of images is most likely caused by either A) a bad video driver. NVIDIA's driers for the last three months have been crap as they ready for WIN 10. That could be adding to your issues. Your video ram is woefully under powered and a backlog of data is clogging them as they try to "catch up". I would say the driver is the issue for that particular problem unless ur running on 500 MB of DDR2 vid ram. If you are, pay the $100 and upgrade if you can lol.
