My computer lately is giving me problems by giving a pop up that says computer memory is low and computer freezes, i have to restart to continue working. The computer is a Gateway E-3400.

Any help please.

Thanks

It is likely that you have developed a memory leak.

Unfortunately, the 'best' way to purge a memory leak, is to format the hard drive and start over from scratch.

Also, Windows 95, 98 and Me have a bug where they can run out of memory if you have more than 511MB of RAM installed.

Another cause of low memory warnings is limited free space on your hard drive.
I recommend having a minimum of 1GB free space on the hard drive.

By the way, you will get a faster and more responses to technical questions if you post them in the Technical Q&A section.
