Macintosh Memory Issue
2015-03-21
Yesterday, all of sudden I got a message on my MacPro saying it is out of memory and I needed to close some application programs. I closed few apps but I got the same message again. I rebooted but it does not take very long to use up all 16GB of memory. Something went really wrong but I had no idea. Some application software was using up all my memory but I did not have any application open at that point.
I have decided to reinstall Mac OS X from the backup I took todays ago on my external drive. I took about two hours to reinstall but it is working well today. I wonder what went wrong.
