    Event Viewer - Diagnostics-Performance


    Hello everyone,

    I just checked Event Viewer and for me it shows me a lot of warnings.
    Each warning contains:

    The Desktop Window Manager is experiencing heavy resource contention.
    Scenario : Video memory resources are over-utilized and there is thrashing happening as a result. Reducing number of running programs and open windows may help resolve this condition.

    My videocard is OC'ed quite a lot. Could that be the cause?
    I got a (old I know) GTS450 running at 968/1936/2075

    Regards, Mark

    Of course as could a lot of other things

    Please provide us with your Event Viewer administrative logs by following these steps:


    Click Start Menu
    Type eventvwr into Search programs and files (do not hit enter)
    Right click eventvwr.exe and click Run as administrator
    Expand Custom Views
    Click Administrative Events
    Right click Administrative Events
    Save all Events in Custom View As...
    Save them in a folder where you will remember which folder and save as Errors.evtx
    Go to where you saved Errors.evtx
    Right click Errors.evtx -> send to -> compressed (zipped) folder
    Upload the .zip file here.

    Hello,

    Here is the zip file you requested.
    You can ignore the Network Location Awareness error, I turned that service off.

    I actually can't find any performance errors in that log for some reason.
