Hi,
I need some help. I just got done partitioning my hdd and reformating I partitioned it because Ive been getting VCACHE and VMM errors. I play an online game and everytime I try to join a game a VMM or VCACHE error comes up. Since I partitioned it I have been getting less errors but still some once in a while. And I also have another problem I will leave my computer for a couple minutes and when I come back the screen will be black and there will be a green line at the top. I dont know what this means. Somebody please respond.
 
vcache refers to how windows uses memory. how much ram do you have? also you can adjust the minimum and maximum vcache levels if they have previously been altered but since you seem not sure of what they are I assume they have not been changed. vmm i think refers to your swap file, or virtual memory which is used in place of ram when all ram is being used. by default windows can use as much empty space on your hard drive as it needs for the swap file. if you are short of space on your hard drive and low on ram you might get those errors.
