  If increasing the virtual memory doesn't solve the problem, you can try optimizing your mining software settings. This includes adjusting the intensity, thread concurrency, and worksize parameters to find the optimal configuration for your hardware. Additionally, make sure that you have the latest version of the mining software installed and that your drivers are up to date. Sometimes, outdated software or drivers can cause memory allocation issues.
