Hi @DerekWayne24,
You need to add a large pagefile.sys.
I described this in another post.
Add a larger pagefile.sys to make up for only 8GB memory - Epic Developer Community Forums (unrealengine.com)

If that has not fixed then download the updated drivers from
Official GeForce Drivers | NVIDIA

about a year ago i upgraded to 16 gb of ram, i bought a card of 8 gb of ram and some people recommended that the cards need to be the same card and not different brands or different cards,(i started in unreal about a week ago and i have been dealing with this issue ever since) will the process be different if i have 16 gigs of ram? and being the memory cards one by msi default and the other a different card (8XPG RAM CARD)?

i already solved it. my solution was to factory reset the pc, i still don´t know what the problem was but i think it was a driver thing, maybe it was a bluetooth driver i installed for my ps3 controller. anyway that was my solution

Hey there @DerekWayne24! Glad you got this sorted! Just a heads up for anyone else making it to this thread:

The nvwgf2umx.dll referenced is a graphics driver. Most of the time you see this it’s a driver based issue. One issue around this time we’ve been seeing is that older Nvidia drivers may not have been cleaned during the installation of new drivers and can cause crashes. The usual fix here instead of the factory reset would be to reinstall the studio drivers. There’s even been some rare instances where users have needed to custom install the drivers because the Geforce experience portion of the install was causing this error.
