I’ve been using Photoshop for about a year now, and it’s worked fine on this system:
P4 2.6GHZ
512 MB DDR RAM
Geforce MX4000
40GB Maxtor IDE
60GB Seagate IDE
But recently I upgraded my computer, swapped the 2 hard drives for 1 160GB western digital, swapped the MX4000 for a 6800XT and added a 512MB DDR400 ramstick, and now Photoshop is having memory problems.
Every time I start Photoshop it starts to drain all the available physical memory (usually 700-800mb) down to 4MB and takes up about 2GB of paging files space, until everything slows down to a slideshow, and I’m forced to ctrl-alt-del and end-process it. Once it’s ended all the memory/paging instantaneously comes back.
Can anyone tell me why this is happening? I’ve tried reinstalling to a different partition, allocating as little memory as possible from the preference dialogue and setting the priority of the process to higher. Nothing works 🙁
