Change the color scheme to improve Performance

I thought my specs were good enough for this not to happen whats your take \ opinion\ help

I7 4790k stock
16 gigs of ram ddr3 1600 stock
240 C: drive ssd OCZ brand
amd r9 390 16.2 drivers installed

Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit sp1
4tb back up hdd for steam\games\etc..
 
Its that non X edition video card. Since I don't game that often anymore I will trade you my 280x for that non x 390. PM me if you're interested.
 
Do you have a multimonitor setup or otherwise have the iGPU enabled?
 
It's nothing wrong with your hardware, it's the game. It might be cutting into the DirectDraw performance on your desktop and Windows thinks there is something wrong. Just ignore it because it shouldn't be affecting the game's performance. I've gotten these messages before in Windows 7 in a variety of games with a single GTX 780, SLI GTX 780, and SLI GTX 970.

Try this on the shortcut.

my buddy had this. he had only 8 gb of ram running win 10, and his shit would constantly crash after he upgraded to from win 7.

I bugged him about it everytime he would crash out of a game until he finally got 8 more gb of ram and now he doesn't get that message or crash.
 
Just check the "do not show this message again" box. Problem solved!

apparently win 10 will ignore your "check to ignore" after a time, so it will still be a problem.

Of course. I have yet to see that message in Win10, but no surprise it continues to ignore the wishes of the user in general. :shifty:
 
Win7 sometimes does that when Aero is enabled, no matter how good your hardware is. I read recently there is a way to disable that message completely but can't remember how to do it now. I use Win8.1 so never get that issue because no Aero.
 
Options are basically:

1. Get more RAM
2. Increase / enable page file
3. Decrease Aero features

For me, I was getting issues with the latest Ubisoft games (RB6: Siege, The Division) running out of memory. Had to re-enable my page file for them to work properly. No other games had this issue so I'm not sure why Ubi games are coded so shittily.
 
I used to get that in Battlefield 4 all the time. There's a setting somewhere, but it doesn't stick as well as it should.
 
Happens in Win 7 too.
Supposedly you go into the Action Center> Change Action Center settings> Disable Maintenance messages for Windows Troubleshooting.

At least that is what I have found scouring the internet. And it doesn't work at all. The stupid messages will continue to come back after a reboot(The option will stay off regardless).
I even found the regkey for it, but again, it doesn't matter, it always comes back after a reboot(The key doesn't revert).

This always happens when I play Star Citizen. Upping the page file and more RAM did nothing for me(So I returned the RAM as it really had no performance benefit that I saw in anything). The disabling Aero thing on the shortcut is probably the only way
 
Disabling Aero on the game is the only way in W7.

Seriously.

Nothing else IMHO sticks. Ticking that box off, it'll come back. Telling that box to not bother you again-it will come back. And that brings us having to manually re-enable Aero every fragging time you game because of the nannyism of that stupid warning. And this is on a system with 32GB of RAM and a hefty paging file.

I've never seen the error in W10.
 
I gotten this message playing witcher 3 ....... everything on ultra, no hair works.......
I tell it to ignore , but still pops up warning when I close the game...

Only way I can get it to not pop up is run a basic theme , out of windows 7 with aero off...

So I have several themes saved now, when I run a game use the basic one, and when I'm
not playing game- use custom theme with aero on......
