    Hi,

    How are we supposed to help with little to no information expect your graphic card ?! When the game crashes and the systems reboots, this can have many reasons which must not be related to the game (heat for example). Things you can try initially would be to check the event log of you OS, there must be an info why the computer reboots.

    Cheers

    the only "virtual ddr" which comes to my mind is the setting where you add more RAM dedicated to windows os (to have better performance for the OS)....at system-> performance and so on, but this actually doesnt makes sense....

    the term "virtual ddr or RAM" doesnt make sense.

    And if he did that it's no wonder why he get black screens because it's makes a system more unstable

    Virtual RAM does make sense, and it is a thing. The performance hit that can be caused by the use of virtual RAM (i.e. a swap file) is arguable. If a systems RAM size is low enough to require virtual memory (RAM, swap, whatever you want to call it) then implementing the virtual memory will allow the system to gain functionality by being able to open more programs at once, while swapping what's currently being used between RAM and virtual RAM. Is there a performance hit, sure, RAM is much faster than making a disk read/write, which is what the system has to do when accessing (or swapping) with virtual memory.

    These issues should be far less of a concern now a days as system RAM has grown so large and so cheap (although, so has programs sizes and memory requirements). You can buy more for your money than what you used to be able to buy when RAM was expensive. In the older days (mid 1990's and likely earlier as well) it was a standard to configure most Unix systems with at least double the amount of swap as they had RAM. For example, if a system had 256mb of RAM, it was standard to at least allocate a 512mb partition on the hard drive to assign to swap space.

    I'm not sure officially when I learned that Microsoft also used swap space in terms of "virtual memory", because I learned Unix better than I learned DOS initially. Here is a Microsoft TechNet article on dealing with virtual memory, and things you can do with the pagefile.sys file that is used as swap space.

    Microsoft TechNet Article on Virtual Memory

    Hope this all makes sense. Oh, and check out the bold faced section title Should you get involved in managing the page file? It discusses the performance improvement you can make by having multiple pagefiles on different physical disks, as the requirement to allow the disk controller to make simultaneous calls is better than using just one physical disk. Today, its suggested that you not enable virtual memory if your only storage is SSD, because of the excessive read/writes that have to occur when using swap.
