  • Hi

    Seems like SQL Server is facing memory restrictions. Some points that i can think of...

    Is your database very large and are you working with large datasets. Do you have a lot of temp table/table datatype usage.

    Have you set any memory usage restrictions in your SQL server configuration.

    Do you have any other memory intensive applications running in your db server.

  • Windows want to use more memory than it has available.

    As Chirag says, check what is happening in SQL Server. SQL should adjust its memory use to avoid excessive paging, but if the min memory value is set too high, this can sometimes be a problem. Personally, I now prefer to leave min memory at zero, as this lets the system degrade more gracefully if memory is over committed.

    You also need to look at what is happening outside of SQL Server. Are you running IIS or SQLAS or SQLRS on the same box, all of these like lots of memory and it can be difficult to run all of them efficiently on a single 32-bit server.

    Are you copying large files (multi-GB) from the server to elsewhere on the network - this can cause Windows to steal memory from other processes for the file cache while the copy is in progress.

    All of these are just a few of the things you need to check. Keep looking until you understand what processes are using memory and how you can balance memory requirements with what is available.
