One attempt to fix this would be to look at the Windows Task Manager to check how many other applications you are running at the same time. 16GB Ram is not an overkill, it's just so enough - usually. If you have a lot of browser tabs open or similar you can quickly run low on memory.

Thanks Daniel, 

well it might not be overkill but the system requirements for the software are 8GB so you would not expect this kind of problem with file sizes of 6MB, especially as this is pretty much the norm these days. And as I said, last week the 6MB files worked just fine. 

And for your other tip: I no longer work Trados whilst anything else is open. No chrome, no other application. I perform lookup if I need it on a tablet which is next to the laptop. 

I know I am not the only person who encounters this problem. Every time I save Trados, the CPU graph in task manager spikes up to near the top, I doubt this has anything to do with me and probably a lot to do with the software. And at times, this is just incredibly frustrating, as you can probably well imagine, with deadlines looming. 

I've got the same Trados Studio version and the same RAM as you.

Whenever I've this out of memory exception error, I “solve” it somehow:

- Restarting Trados Studio.

- Closing any RAM-hungry application (watch out web browsers!, but you said they are closed).

- Processing files individually, as you do, when anything else fails. Yes, I know..

By the way, CPU peaks are not that relevant here. Instead check the top apps at the Memory column in Task Manager:

I wish you good luck. Don't forget to share your experience if you find out how to solve the problem.
