Not Enough Memory to Run

Asked By 200 points N/A Posted on -

Please help me in this very troublesome situation on my PC.

Yesterday, I had updated my AMI BIOS as a recommendation from a friend who has knowledge on computer hardware and networking.

According to him, I need to update the BIOS for compatibility purposes with the new 500GB hard drive that I had mounted ahead into my PC. In the middle of the BIOS update process, there was an unexpected power interruption happened.

When I started the PC again, its Windows Vista operating system did not boot.

"Not enough memory to run and runswap.exe"

I followed the command prompt and press F10, but nothing had happened.

I cannot go to BIOS page set-up also.

When I tried using the recovery disk that I have, this error occurred “Not enough memory to run,” and afterwards, this error also occurred “runswap.exe”.

How can I solve this issue?

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

You must pay attention to BIOS. Your motherboard is “bricked”, it’s means that something gone wrong during your update.

The only thing you can try is updating your BIOS newly so a working copy of the binary file can overwrite your broken one.

The fact that you cannot enter into his setup is a clear symptom of BIOS updating failure.

If it’s impossible to update your BIOS you can search for motherboard jumper for recovering your BIOS, follow the instruction manual of your hardware.

Following could be some of the possible reasons for your problem:

  1. Your Hard Disks HDD(s) may need defragging.
  2. Your R AM may not be enough – alone for the OS you need to have at least of 512Mb, and more for games.
  3. You are required to have a higher resolution graphic card, normally big games need card between 64Mb to 256Mb.
  4. It will be good if you update all the drivers you use, especially the one related with your graphics and the motherboard.
