recently my computer got a virus and i couldnt even start up in safe mode soon after every time i turned on my computer i would get a message saying something happned to my memory and the screen was all blue. Now after i reformatted i didnt have a problem untill now i got a little message saying my virual memory was to small or somehting and windows was increasing the size.. i dont know what that means and if i should worry. is there any tests i can do to check?

Virtual memory is your page file, or a little spot on your hard drive that windows uses as RAM when programs demand more RAM than what you have. It'll automatically increase the page file until the virtual memory errors are solved, or you run out of disk space, which ever comes first.

Buy more RAM to fix the problem.

As I said the first time:

Your computer needs more RAM.
