Hello xhelrazerx,
Welcome to PC Help Forum,
What operating system are you running? And when you say you go into your device manager, does it not even open and give you that message? That message usually means your page file is being used all up. Let us know what operating system your running so we can let you know how to up your pagefile. But I can guarantee it is not because of your video card..

Edit: Hengis Has a better answer!!!

Hi there and welcome to PCHF.

The message is probably referring to your Windows Virtual memory. To increase it do this:

How to change the size of the virtual memory paging file

You must be logged on as an administrator or as a member of the Administrators group to complete this procedure. If your computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may also prevent you from completing this procedure.
1.Click Start, click Run, and then type sysdm.cpl in the Open box.
2.Click the Advanced tab, and then click Settings under Performance.
3.Click the Advanced tab, and then click Change under Virtual memory.
4.Under Drive [Volume Label], click the drive that contains the paging file that you want to change.
5.Under Paging file size for selected drive, click Custom size, type a new paging file size in megabytes (MB) in the Initial size (MB) or Maximum size (MB) box, and then click Set.If you decrease the size of either the initial or maximum paging file settings, you must restart your computer to see the effects of those changes. When you increase the paging file size, you typically do not have to restart your computer.

Notes
•To have Windows select the best paging file size, click System managed size. The recommended minimum size is equivalent to 1.5 times the RAM on your computer, and 3 times that figure for the maximum size. For example, if you have 256 MB of RAM, the minimum size is 384 MB, and the maximum size is 1152 MB.
•For best performance, do not set the initial size to less than the minimum recommended size under Total paging file size for all drives. The recommended size is equivalent to 1.5 times the RAM on your computer. It is good practice to leave the paging file at its recommended size. However, you may increase its size if you frequently use programs that use much memory.
•To delete a paging file, set both the initial size and the maximum size to zero, or click No paging file. We strongly recommend that you do not disable or delete the paging file.

Can i suggest that you try again (and set to "system managed size") - the message that you posted relates directly to a lack of available memory and my suggestion will fix it
