Just built a new system for myself using the NUC5i5RYH. I installed 8gb of G.Skill that was on Intel's list of tested modules. I also installed a 850 Pro SSD and my Windows 8.1 64bit. On my older Core 2 duo system I only had 2gb of ram and never once did it ever say I was out of memory. However, now going to 8gb and the exact same software setup I am out of memory? lol
Anyway, I updated to bios 0247, installed 8.1 and set the video card to maximum ram use of 1 GB (I do a lot of 1080p video streaming so not sure if setting it to 1gb is/was necessary). I also installed all of Intel's latest drivers and then updated the INF to version 10.0.26 and AHCI drivers to RST 14.0.0.1095, which is the latest. Inspecting the Task Manager during the error shows that I am using only 2.4 GB of RAM use and 4.5 GB is still available. Is the error caused by this machine being so new, and drivers are therefor still immature? Or, is it my video card settings or something I can fix myself? The error occurred when I had no apps running and the machine was idle.
Any advice on this new Intel NUC setup please?
BONUS Material: Also, I would like to mention that I am a Microsoft Insider and I tested Windows 10 build 10074 and it was a disaster. Constantly freezing up, and very slow when compared to my old x58 system from 5 years ago. However, Windows 8.1 runs MUCH better on this NUC, and every bit as fast as my old x58 (which is hexa core and runs at 4ghz). I assume that is because of driver issues for 10 on this NUC?
