I just updated to 1614, and have recieved 2 out of memory exceptions in Visual Studio today where Poof! The IDE just pops up the message, when you click OK, it goes away.

Have you seen this problem with previous builds of VA?

I am wondering if it is totally new, or just more common.

Does there seem to be any form of pattern or trigger to these problems?
Which IDE are you using?

Which programming language are you working in?

If you are working on a solution with a mixture of programming languages then this may be related to:

case=9607

We have a couple of reports of problems with mixed C++ / C# solutions which we are currently looking into.

Pure C# in VS2005.

I was running 1609 and had no problems... all this started showing up after I upgraded.

There does not appear to be a pattern, although I can tell you that I am also noticing that before it crashes, things start to slow down more and more until finally Boom, its gone.

Can you please run Process Explorer:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/processexplorer.mspx

and make sure you have the column "Process Memory -> Working Set Size" turned on. This is the RAM usage, I am interested in what sort of figures you are seeing for the IDE, and how quickly they climb.

Can you also try:

VA Options -> Performance -> Rebuild symbol databases

It is possible you have a one off corrupt VA symbol database, and that this will fix the problem.

Even after rebuilding the symbol database, performance is less after a period of time, I have not had a crash today (yet anyway).

When I used proc explorer, the memory levels appear stable.

This is rather odd. Are you seeing a lot of CPU or hard drive activity? I am wondering why performance seems to slow down, especially if there is no run away memory leak at work.

If you change to a much smaller file does this have any impact on performance?
What is slow? Typing? Scrolling? Listboxes appearing? Everything?
