Amazingas1 Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 On Rockstar Games Support I found this: Summary: Users with 3GB+ of RAM experiencing frequent crashes Question: Is having over 3GB+ RAM and setting the /3GB switch in Windows XP a problem for my graphics card? Why? Answer: On Windows XP, some drivers, especially video adapter drivers with onboard RAM, cannot run with the /3GB parameter because they require more address space than the 1GB kernel address space permits. We advise users that have added the /3GB switch in order to maximize their 'user-mode virtual address space' to 3GB from 2GB, to remove this switch. It can cause your system to crash and may contribute to other issues. Please be sure to delete this switch from your boot entries: boot.ini and any other places where you may have this switch activated. To find out more information about this switch, please visit the following link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms791558.aspx If this could be reason that I should do exactly?

mkey82 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Try the memrestrict commandline and don't worry about PAE. If you didn't set it, then it's not there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkey82 Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 You could check out the cleanmem freeware. It's supposed to clean the RAM and it can sometimes help with GTAIV. Here is the official version, here is the one I modified so instead of cleaning RAM every half an hour, it does the same every minute. Also, you can try to arbitrarily lower the memrestrict number and see if it works better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkey82 Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 You can try a few different gpu driver versions. Usually some work better then the others. Don't forget to cleanup the drivers in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
