application exception

0xC0000017 NO_MEMORY

The process could not allocate more memory — the machine is exhausted, the process hit a 32-bit limit, or a leak grew until allocation failed. Not the same as a blue-screen MEMORY_MANAGEMENT.

What to do about it

  1. Close other heavy apps and try again.
  2. Check Task Manager for a process eating RAM before the crash.
  3. Prefer the 64-bit build of the program if you are still on 32-bit.

Where you will see this

Windows Error Reporting writes this code into Report.wer files and app-crash minidumps when a program dies but Windows itself stays up. It is not a blue-screen stop code — for those see the stop-code library.

See which module threw this exception

Drop the program's .wer report or crash dump into the app-crash reader — the faulting module is usually the real story. Parsed locally.
