You have answerd yourquestion yourself. Lower the number of threads. Just think for a moment:
What happens if e.g. each thread taking up to 3MB of memory? Webpages have to be downloaded, project settings have to be hold in memory and so on...your memory is eaten up quickly.
I have a dedicated server with 16Gb of memory and run 300 threads and I still get out of memory when it hits 1gb according to GSA. When in reality there is more to use from. Why does GSA cap it at 1GB?
Do you guys use Bitdefender maybe? It was the issue for me. Just uninstall it and no erors at all. At least for me. I had errors every hour or less runing 100 threads. Now am running 500 and never saw one.
I am experiencing this a lot lately also. Before I can push +1000 threads...now cant even go past 500 without "Out of Memory" popup message. SER never goes above "Mem: 2.0GB" not even close to 4GB limit.
I'm running 200 threads, 5 projects in scheduler mode, 20 minutes. I can't leave the server for more than 12 hours before I get a out of memory error. GSA SER reports memory use of 1,5 - 2,5 GB.
