Instruction at Referenced Memory Could Not Be Read HELP PLS

Question

I get this error everytime i get far in a project in photoshop. My ram usage continues to climb until it maxes out and crashes my whole pc. My wallpaper engine gets disabled, ICUE software disables and the RGB on ,my keyboard turns off. Its so annoying and I genuinely have no idea how to fix it. I have 32G DDR5 6000mhz. 12900k and a 3090. My pc is definitely capable of doing the tasks im trying but i just need help on why this is happening. Anyone?

Hey, @Dylan381022549q9n. Welcome to the Photoshop Community. I'll need more info to help you figure this out. Please share the system info from Photoshop Help > System info > Copy & paste into a text document > upload & attach here.

The particular error description is directly related to the Windows OS & very unlikely related to Photoshop.

There are a few different conversations in the Microsoft forums & you can reach their support channels too.

Here are a few tips that I can point to:

1 - Run Memory Diagnostics Tool

-Press Windows + R, type mdsched.exe, and press Enter.
-Choose Restart now and check for problems or Check for problems the next time I start my computer.

2 - Adjust Virtual Memory Settings

-Right-click This PC on your desktop and select Properties.
-Click Advanced system settings > Settings under Performance.
-Go to the Advanced tab, click Change under Virtual memory.
-Uncheck Automatically manage paging file size for all drives.
-Select a drive, click Custom size, and set the Initial and Maximum size based on your system’s RAM and requirements. Click Set and then OK.

There are other OS level variables that might need to review & repair, and I'll advise you to contact the Microsoft support.

Let me know how it goes.
