Virtual Memory Exhaustion

Load windbg-diagnostic-method first if it is not already loaded in this conversation, and apply it throughout for evidence ranking, hypothesis testing, confidence calibration, independent review, and report validation. This skill adds the bug-family-specific commands and evidence requirements.

Detection

Investigate E_OUTOFMEMORY (0x8007000E), STATUS_NO_MEMORY (0xC0000017), bad_alloc, or failed heap/virtual allocations in an application, service, or user-mode driver host (including UMDF). Record the actual API, requested size/alignment, architecture, flags, and error. Free physical RAM does not rule out insufficient virtual address space, commit pressure, or applicable limits.
